You probably heard that your dog\u2019s coat and skin are vital to their good health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that your pet\u2019s skin and coat make up between 10% and 15% of their entire body weight?<\/p>\n

Just like a human, that makes it the largest organ in their body.<\/p>\n

More than just a way to keep them warm in the winter, it also plays a major part of your pet\u2019s immune system.<\/p>\n

It is critical to keeping them properly hydrated, and is likely the best indicator of any potential health issues they may have.<\/p>\n

Simply put, taking proper care of your dog\u2019s coat and skin is their first and best line of defense against all things growly!<\/p>\n

Now that you know how important good coat and skin care is for your pet, what do you do about it?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of the top 5 things you can do to help your fur baby get and\/or stay healthy:<\/p>\n\t\n

1) Pet That Pet!<\/p>\n

Petting your dog is just something you do without giving it much thought.<\/p>\n

But that simple action is the first and best way to notice any irregularities that could be a sign of trouble.<\/p>\n

Next time you\u2019re snuggled up on the couch with your four-legged friend, try to notice how things feel.<\/p>\n

Is their coat shiny and glossy?<\/p>\n

Does it feel dry or rough? What about their skin.<\/p>\n

Is it greasy? Do you see any flakes, like dandruff?<\/p>\n

Can you feel any bumps?<\/p>\n

2) Don\u2019t Overdo The Shampoo<\/p>\n

As a general rule, unless they are smelly or dirty, you are likely just fine with bathing your healthy dog about once a month.<\/p>\n

Just like your own hair, a dog\u2019s fur has natural, vital, protective oils that can be stripped away with too much bathing.<\/p>\n

If you feel that more frequent shampooing is necessary, then be sure to use a gentle, pet friendly shampoo that doesn\u2019t contain any harsh chemical, perfumes, or detergents.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
