2. Brush the fur frequently
Dogs shed hair almost every day, especially in spring and autumn. To make the fur grow well, frequent brushing is an important step. Pet owners can use pet-specific brushes to help the dog clean its naturally shed hair and avoid tangles. Brushing once in the morning and evening for about five minutes each time is enough.
3. Sunbathe
Sunbathing is beneficial for the growth of a dog's coat. Besides making the coat more glossy, letting the dog sunbathe can also help kill bacteria. While sunbathing, the pet owner can also let the dog exercise a bit, which can help improve the dog's physical fitness, promote blood circulation, and help grow healthier fur.
4. Parasite prevention
Unhealthy fur is closely related to parasites. Parasites absorb a large amount of nutrients from the dog's body and compete for nutrients. Therefore, parasite prevention work is essential. It is recommended to do both internal and external parasite prevention. In addition, parasite prevention medicines have a great impact on the dog's stomach and intestines, so it is recommended to feed probiotics on a regular basis to alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort.
5. Pay attention to diet
In order for the dog to have a beautiful coat, it must have a good nutritional foundation and pay attention to daily diet. On the one hand, feed the dog with nutritious and healthy dog food, choose a dog food that is suitable and nutritionally adequate to meet the dog's needs. On the other hand, you can also feed the dog with lean meat, cooked egg yolk, and vegetable oil in moderate amounts.
