There are some things that we might take for granted when it comes to dogs. Some things that we might not realise, or even consider. We might assume that all dogs like chasing sticks, or that they all love to chew on bones. We might believe that they all have a problem with cats, or that they will all try to bury their toys in the vegetable patch.

We might think that our dog’s skin is nothing to worry about, as long as their coat is healthy. But a dog’s skin is so different to ours that we really should try to learn more about it – a dog’s skin has only one layer (a human’s has three) and is therefore incredibly delicate. It needs to be protected from the many different skin ailments that can affect it.

There are some simple ways to care for your dog’s skin that you can do at home.

The first is to keep your pet groomed neatly and regularly – not only does this remove any matted hair that can be a haven for parasites, but it also shows you if anything is already irritating your dog’s skin.

The second way to protect your dog’s fragile skin is to ensure that there are no fleas, ticks, or any other parasite on the skin. The same goes for thorns, ticks or cuts that might end up irritating the skin and causing infections.

The third way to help your dog’s skin remain healthy is to bathe him or her in specially formulated shampoos made just for dogs, created to soothe irritated skin and to maintain a healthy coat.

So to recap, there are three important ways to give your dog the best chance of maintaining healthy skin; grooming, brushing, and bathing. (We recommend bathing no more than once a month)

These easy tasks are made even easier with DERMagic’s Peppermint and Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner range.
