As many dog breeders and show exhibitors know, proper dog skin care starts from the inside! Signs of poor nutrition are evident through a dog’s skin and coat. Although many pet owner’s aren’t concerned about winning “best in show” they should be concerned with the health of their pets!
Proper dog skin care requires a healthy diet, daily exercise and grooming. Do not bathe your dog too frequently, but daily brushing can provide for some quality bonding time as well as help prevent skin problems in the future. It can also help with early detection of any possible issues. If you notice bites, bumps, dry skin or sores under your dog’s coat then steps should be taken immediately to diagnose and treat the problem.
