Think about it: what would happen if you didn\u2019t brush your hair for a week? It probably wouldn\u2019t be the best situation to deal with\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Keep your dog\u2019s coat healthy by brushing him often. Depending on the length of your pal\u2019s fur, a couple of brushing sessions a week should do just fine. Always double-check with your groomer if you\u2019re not entirely sure what your dog\u2019s coat needs!<\/p>\n<p>By brushing your dog regularly you keep his fur clean, which in turn keeps it soft and shiny. His fur helps keep things off of his skin as well, so brushing is a must to protect it from dirt. Remove dirt from the fur by brushing and by <b>carefully<\/b> combing through knots. If you don\u2019t get to the knots quickly, they can easily become painful and hard to remove. In this case, let a groomer handle knots or mats to avoid hurting your pal! If your dog\u2019s fur has a lot of tangles, ask your groomer which brush type is best for him to help keep knots at bay. Prevent them from developing so you can keep brushing your pal easily and painlessly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sun_Protection\"><\/span>Sun Protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just like us, dogs need to have their skin checked often for irregularities. Humans are always told to wear SPF when we venture out into the sunlight, and your dog\u2019s skin needs the same kind of protective layer. Be sure to cover up any exposed skin if it\u2019s a sunny day. Check in with your vet for the best ways to protect your pet from sun damage. Get some professional advice on how to keep him safe during severe weather, like heatwaves or freezing temperatures, so you know he\u2019s protected.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;1098&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regular_Grooming_Appointments\"><\/span>Regular Grooming Appointments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Consistent and professional grooming appointments are just as important as brushing your dog regularly. Groomers train to properly clean and maintain a pet\u2019s coat and body. Taking your pets to an experienced groomer is simply the <b>best<\/b> thing you can do to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n<p>DIY grooming can be a huge pain if you\u2019re not experienced, so keep track of how often your dog goes to the groomer for a bath instead. Follow a regular schedule for spa appointments since dogs need to be bathed regularly \u2013 especially if they like to play outdoors! You wouldn\u2019t be happy if you were unable to shower for a month, right? Well, neither would your dog! So make sure your pet has a proper grooming and bathing schedule. Even if he doesn\u2019t love the tub, he\u2019ll adore you for taking such good care of him!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Healthy_Skin\"><\/span>Healthy Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Brushing and bathing are just a couple of ways to keep your dog\u2019s skin healthy. Help his skin and coat develop by feeding him the best diet possible! Simply stated, nutrition is important for every aspect of life. Keep your dog healthy and active by feeding him nutrient-rich foods. Cut out processed and canned dogfoods since they don\u2019t have the best nutritional value.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of pet food brands that tout an all-natural ingredients list, but many contain products that aren\u2019t healthy for your dog. One good option is Fromm Family Pet Food, which prides itself on <a href=\"https:\/\/frommfamily.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">safe and nutritious dogfood<\/a>. Or for a quick treat, toss your dog a bite of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crumps.ca\/2013-08-10-13-33-43\/crumps-naturals-where-to-buy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crump\u2019s Naturals<\/a>. But the best nutrition your dog can get is from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcpetstudies.com\/pros-cons-raw-feeding-cats-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">raw and natural foods<\/a>. Focus on fruits, veggies, and cooked meats to give your dog a healthy alternative to manufactured kibble. <b>However<\/b>, make sure none of the foods you feed your dogs are toxic to them!

These are sensitive areas, so ask your groomer to demonstrate how to do a quick and safe clean if your dog has buildup between appointments.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to notice if something is wrong or if your dog looks different than usual. If anything seems abnormal with the eyes or ears, make a trip to the vet or give them a call. Just like humans, dogs rely on their eyes and ears, so they should be functioning at their very best!

Dogs are instinctive beings and do their best to protect themselves and their owners (and we love them for it!). Some things, like going to the grooming salon or the vet\u2019s office, have a tendency to make many dogs anxious, so take it easy and work on helping them adjust.
