1、Do not bathe frequently
When bathing your dog, of course, it should not be too frequent. The frequency of bathing should depend on the dog's hygiene condition. In hot weather, you can bathe your dog one or two additional times, while in winter, you can reduce it by one or two times. However, in general, it should not exceed 5 times. Otherwise, it may damage its coat and skin!
2、Regularly groom the fur
Dogs almost shed every day, especially during the spring and autumn seasons when seasonal shedding is more severe. To maintain good hair growth, regular grooming is an important step. Pet owners can use dedicated pet brushes to help the dog clean naturally shed hair and prevent matting. Grooming once in the morning and once in the evening for about five minutes each time is sufficient.
3、Sunbathe
Sunbathing benefits the dog's hair growth and makes the coat more shiny. In addition to making the hair more lustrous, allowing the dog to sunbathe can also help kill bacteria. While sunbathing, pet owners can let the dog exercise a bit, which can help improve the dog's physical fitness, promote blood circulation, and help grow healthier hair.
4、Parasite control
Poor hair condition is closely related to parasites. Parasites absorb a large amount of nutrients from the dog's body, depriving it of the necessary nutrients. Therefore, parasite control is essential. It is recommended to perform internal and external parasite control concurrently. Additionally, deworming medications can cause great harm to the dog's gastrointestinal tract, so it is advisable to supplement with probiotics regularly to alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort.
5、Pay attention to diet
In order for the dog to have a beautiful coat, it is necessary to establish a good nutritional foundation and pay attention to daily diet. On one hand, feed the dog with nutritious and healthy dog food, choose a suitable dog food that is both nutritious and adequate to meet the dog's needs. On the other hand, the dog can be given an appropriate amount of lean meat, boiled egg yolk, and vegetable oil, etc.
