Shedding season is a crucial time for caring for our dogs' coats. During this period, it's normal to notice them losing large amounts of hair. We clean the house, but it reappears everywhere. Has this happened to you? Don't worry! Here are several super useful tips:
Daily brushing:
One of the most important things you can do to care for your dog's coat during shedding season is to brush them regularly. Ideally, brush daily during this time to help remove dead hair and prevent the formation of knots and tangles. This way, we will also reduce the amount of hair in the house. Here is our bamboo brush, which is antibacterial and water-resistant, suitable for short and long hair.
Frequent baths:
Frequent baths are one of the best ways to promote the removal of dead hair. Make sure to brush thoroughly before bathing and, of course, use a specific shampoo for your furry friend (never use human products), with gentle formulas and a pH adapted to dogs. Ideally, use a shampoo that is as natural as possible, free of chemicals, sulfates, silicones, parabens, and synthetic fragrances, like our shampoo made with natural and organic ingredients. Using natural dog shampoos allows us to bathe them frequently with complete peace of mind, even once a week if necessary. The problem arises when more aggressive shampoos with chemical ingredients are used. So don't worry, not only is it fine, but you'll also be taking care of your furry friend's hair and skin health. If you still don't know the benefits of using a natural shampoo for your dog, we recommend reading this post.
Healthy and balanced diet:
Nutrition is a key factor in keeping your dog's coat and skin healthy and strong. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are especially important for your dog's coat and skin health, so be sure to include foods rich in these nutrients in your dog's diet. For example, salmon oil, Omega-3 capsules, ground flaxseeds... To help you with this, at The Doog Life, we have formulated a specific supplement for hair and skin that is 100% natural and organic.
