The sight of a pet playing and the sun shining down
on its glossy coat is a perfect picture of health. It can also be
a valuable indicator of your pet’s well being because the first
thing that suffers when a pet is sick is the appearance of its
coat.
GROOMY BABY!
When a pet has excellent nutrition, enough
exercise and regular flea and worm control, then it is time to
visit the grooming salon for those final touches! Unless your
pet is healthy on the inside, it won't matter how much time it
spends at the salon, its coat will still be lacklustre. A
healthy pet, with a shiny coat is the perfect candidate for some
pampering at the salon and, depending on the breed of the pet
and its coat type, there are some pretty fancy styles available!
 Classy
Clients
The most common breeds of dog that visit
grooming salons are: Poodles, terriers such as West Highland
Terriers, Schnauzers and Old English Sheepdogs.
Usually cats with long hair are the most frequent feline
visitors to grooming salons, breeds such as Persians and
Chinchillas being the most frequent.
Prior to breed shows is the busiest time for groomers, however,
many owners like to take their much-loved pets to the salon on a
regular basis, especially those fluffy ones that just love
playing in the mud!
COST?
Time is money; the bigger the pet, the bigger
the bill.
A La Naturale
Mother knows best, Mother Nature that is! To
bring out the highlights in your pet's coat try some Norwegian
Kelp. Does your pet suffer from itchy, dry, flaky skin or hot
spots and bald spots? Flaxseed and ground Borage seed
helps eliminate these problems while giving your pet's coat a
lustre like you've never seen before.
Why worm?
The
right pet food
containing all the essential nutrients will go a long way in
promoting the health of your pet's skin and coat. An active
lifestyle will also ensure that those nutrients are being
utilised properly, rather than being stored by the body and
causing your pet to be overweight. But, if you don't give your
pet regular worm medication to prevent an infestation of nasty
parasites like
hookworm, whipworm and roundworm (to name a few!) then you
will be wasting all that nutritious food.
As
worms multiply in the intestine of your pet, they feast on all
the goodness from your pet's diet. That means that while the
worms are getting fat and healthy, your pet is becoming thinner
and sicker. The skin, which needs those natural oils to keep it
supple, will become dry and flaky and the coat hairs will become
lank and dull. So to prevent ill health and a lifeless coat,
make sure you use a
worm treatment
on your pet. For a smooth, tangle-free coat one of the best
tools is a slicker brush. |
