Grooming isn’t just about keeping your dog looking their best—it plays a key role in their overall skin and coat health.
Regular grooming helps prevent matting, skin irritation, and shedding, while also giving you an opportunity to check for lumps, ticks, or skin issues early on.
Brush Regularly for a Healthy Shine
No matter your dog’s coat type, consistent brushing is one of the most effective ways to maintain a shiny coat. Dogs with long hair or thick undercoats should be brushed several times a week to prevent painful tangles.
Short-haired breeds also benefit from weekly brushing, which stimulates natural oil production and distributes it across the coat for a glossy finish.
Limit Baths, But Use the Right Shampoo When Needed
Too many baths can strip your dog’s skin of essential oils, leading to dryness, flakiness, and discomfort. Limit full-body baths to once or twice a month unless your dog has a specific skin condition or gets particularly dirty.
When it’s time for a wash, use a gentle, nourishing shampoo designed for pets.
Kawell USA’s Matico Natural Healing Shampoo for Dogs is formulated with plant-based ingredients and natural extracts to promote skin healing while leaving the coat soft and shiny.
If your pet is prone to skin irritation or allergies, this shampoo offers a soothing, non-toxic solution that supports skin regeneration and reduces inflammation.
Target Skin Issues with Natural Sprays
For dogs with sensitive skin or localized irritation, a healing spray can help treat trouble spots between baths.
Try Kawell USA’s Matico Natural Skin Spray or the Dragon’s Blood Natural Wound Spray—both are all-natural, plant-based options that help relieve inflammation, soothe wounds, and improve coat quality.
These are perfect for pets with hot spots, flea bites, or minor abrasions and can be safely applied as needed.
Use Proper Tools for Safe, Stress-Free Grooming
Having the right grooming tools makes a world of difference.
-
Use a slicker brush or pin brush appropriate for your dog’s coat type.
-
For dogs with long or shaggy hair, electric clippers help prevent mats and overheating.
-
Keep scissors on hand for trimming around the ears, paws, and face.
If your dog enjoys a massage, consider using a quality dog brush, which helps remove loose hair and dirt and promote skin health.
Keep the Coat Clean Between Baths
In between full baths, maintain cleanliness with a quick wipe-down using a damp cloth or a spritz of your Matico Natural Healing Spray. This keeps your dog smelling fresh, prevents buildup of bacteria, and adds moisture to dry patches.
