Skin Care for your dog is important because healthy skin helps keep the rest of the dog healthy, and it cuts down on problems for you.
Things to consider: Supplements that help skin, weather extremes, brushing her coat, and bathing.
Vitamins for Skin - Dog skin care is an integral part of dog health care. So, during the winter, when your dog's skin is most prone to dryness, add some dog vitamins and supplements that contain essential fatty acids to your dog's diet.
Daily Brushing - Brushing your dog's coat daily is not only good for your dog's coat, it's also excellent dog skin care. A good (and gentle) daily brushing promotes good skin circulation and removes unwanted debris that could cause itching or skin irritations. For proper dog skin care while brushing, keep a spray bottle of water handle and dampen the dog's coat lightly before you brush.
Thorough Rinsing - When bathing your dog, be sure to rinse out all traces of dog shampoos completely. Any traces of dog shampoos left in a dog's coat after a bath could cause dryness and flaking and ultimately irritate the skin. Diligence in dog grooming is vital to good dog skin care.
