Shiny Coats & Happy Joints: How to Keep Your Dog Healthy Inside and Out

As pet parents, we all want the same thing: a healthy, happy dog with a shiny coat and a spring in their step. But just like us, dogs need the right balance of nutrition and care to feel and look their best, especially regarding their coat and joints.

Why Coat Health Matters

A dog’s coat isn’t just for looks, it reflects their overall health. Dull, brittle fur or excessive shedding could signal nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, or even underlying health issues. A healthy coat should be shiny, soft, and thick, without bald patches or irritation.

To promote coat health:

• Brush regularly to remove loose hair and stimulate natural oils.

• Bathe occasionally with gentle, dog-safe shampoo.

• Feed a nutrient-rich diet that supports skin and fur health.

  
  

Caring for Your Dog’s Joints

Joint health is especially important for aging dogs or active breeds. Stiffness, reluctance to run or jump, or limping could be signs of joint discomfort. Preventative care is key.

To keep your dog’s joints healthy:

• Provide daily movement, like walks or low-impact play.

• Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on joints.

• Incorporate joint-supporting nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids.
