Healthy skin and smooth, shiny hair not only affect your pet's appearance, but also reflect its physical health. For example, long-haired dog breeds such as Golden Retriever, Border Collie, Pomeranian, Yorkshire Terrier, and Long-haired Dachshund will look young, energetic and vibrant if their hair is in good condition.
The hair of your furry child is made up of thousands of hairs produced by hair follicles. Under normal circumstances, hair has a "shedding → regeneration" replacement cycle. After natural hair shedding due to seasonal changes, new hair will grow and then be replaced. When we talk about hair, we think of the skin underneath it. Hair and skin act like a protective shield and have the following physiological functions:
1. Defense: A basic barrier that serves as the first line of defense against the outside world and isolates it from the outside world.
2. Immunity: The skin is part of the body's immune system, and skin conditions are often related to overall immunity.
3. Temperature control: Keep your pet's body temperature stable to avoid excessive heat loss.
4. Water Retention: Unlike humans, dogs do not have sweat glands; water regulation through the skin is very important.
When there is malnutrition, poor skin condition or infection, in addition to the inflammatory response of the skin itself, it will also affect hair growth, causing abnormal hair loss, dullness, and dryness. If the fur is not properly cared for, it may also cause a decrease in sebum secretion from the sebaceous glands, which may lead to inflammation caused by external stimuli.
Especially in hot and humid climates such as summer and rainy season, it is easy to cause skin symptoms in pets. Skin problems originate from the body's physiological functions, blood circulation, metabolic conditions, and stress and emotional changes, and also affect hair growth. Based on the above, we know that daily care of dog's skin and hair is very important !
Today I will briefly share with you the five key points for dog skin and hair care:
1. Nutritional supplements:
Among the daily macronutrients for your furry pet, the most important are the protein that makes up the hair and the fat that helps the hair grow. Other micronutrients are related to growth, tissue formation and metabolism, including: vitamin A , vitamin B2 , biotin, folic acid, vitamin E , minerals zinc, copper, selenium, etc. "Only by taking good care of your intestines can you take good care of your skin." Many nutrients need to be effectively absorbed and utilized in the body to truly help nourish the hair. In addition to feeding dry feed, canned food and fresh food on a daily basis, don’t forget that nutritional supplements are also a good helper for parents ~

2. External environment:
Taiwan is hot and humid for a long time, so you need to pay attention to seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. It is recommended to use a dehumidifier indoors to control the humidity below 50 % and keep the environment ventilated. When the winter cold wave hits, you can add clothes for your pet if necessary. Choose breathable and soft materials, and clean them regularly to keep them dry.
3. Hygiene and cleaning:
The dog's skin epidermis is thin and fragile, only 1/5 of the thickness of human skin , and is weakly alkaline, making it easy for bacteria to multiply. You need to pay attention to your dog's bathing and skin care on a regular basis; try to choose shampoos and detergents that are fragrance-free, non-irritating, and made from safe food ingredients to prevent your dog from accidentally licking and ingesting harmful chemicals. Combing your hair regularly is also very important. It is recommended to comb your hair frequently every day to maintain normal skin metabolism and resistance. After taking a shower, you need to blow dry your hair before combing it, and avoid combing your hair against the grain to pull the skin and damage the hair follicles.
4. Emotional aspects:
Changes in the home environment, the addition of new family members, the feeling that the owner does not play with the dog, etc., may make the dog feel insecure and develop overly anxious behaviors, such as frequent scratching and excessive licking of the skin. The anxiety caused by long-term stress may also cause an imbalance in intestinal flora, making the skin unstable or causing various health problems. Therefore, spending more time with your dog, keeping his mood stable, and supplementing him with stress-relieving health products at the right time will also help maintain the health of your fur.
5. External auxiliary products:
Appropriate use of natural, fragrance-free moisturizing sprays containing active ingredients (such as probiotics) can help hydrate the skin and prevent dryness. Apply the moisturizing spray to the skin to help reduce moisture loss, increase moisture penetration between skin tissues, and provide skin protection; help promote self-repair and prevent various skin conditions.
