1. Don't forget brushing
Brushing the coat is an essential activity to maintain the health and beauty of the dog's coat.ย It is a task with a multitude of benefits:
ย
The most obvious thing is that, you will eliminate undesirable knots.ย This is especially relevant in long-haired dogs.ย Without correct maintenance, important tangles can be generated that will cause discomfort and inconvenience to your pet.
It is a way to eliminate shedding hair that is falling out naturally.ย Of course, this is very convenient if you do not want these furs to spread to all corners of the home.
It helps to reduce the amount of parasites and substances that adhere to the hair fibers and that can cause irritation to the dog's own skin.ย Promotes skin circulation, allowing coat to grow strong and healthy.
If your dog is long-haired, the ideal is to brush it every day.ย If you have short hair, twice a week will suffice.
2. Use canine grooming products
Remember to always use the right products.ย That is, those that have been specifically designed for the care of dogs.ย Keep in mind that the items that humans use in our daily hygiene habits, such as shampoo or gel, contain substances that are harmful to your four-legged companion.ย The result can be from small irritations to much more serious skin injuries.
Luckily, you have different options according to the needs and characteristics of your dog.ย Shampoos, for example, have specific alternatives for sensitive skin, anti-parasites, and even to improve the whiteness of the hair.
If you choose to use dry shampoos, you should be careful.ย What this product usually does is remove fat from the skin.ย Therefore, if you abuse it or apply it too often, it is likely that the skin and hair will dry out.ย Remember that skin fat works as a protective barrier and damaging it can trigger serious problems.

3. Clean and healthy ears
The ears are an important point in the health of the dog, so do not forget to check them frequently.ย Breeds that have large ears or with hair inside will need you to dedicate a moment to them once a week, since dirt usually remains embedded in this type of dog.ย In those who have small ears and no hair inside, doing it twice a month will be enough.
How to clean this area?ย You just have to drag the dirt from the ear with the help of the Ear Dips Thimbles, which come in the shape of the index finger, and use a product indicated for ear cleaning, such as Artero Aurigel - Ear Cleaner For Dogs and Cats .ย With a little skill, the ear canals will be totally clean, Remember not to go too deep and be careful, as it is a very sensitive part.
