This weeks Friday Fact:

A Science lesson🧪🥼🤓

❓️❓️Why does a dogs diet matter? ❓️❓️

🐕‍🦺Your dog's diet is crucial for a healthy, shiny coat because it directly impacts the structural integrity of the hair follicles and the overall health of the skin, this is essential for healthy hair growth.

🫒Proper nutrition provides the necessary building blocks, protein and essential fatty acids, to support a strong and luxurious coat.

Here's the science bit:

⚛️Protein:

Hair is 95% protein, a diet rich in high-quality protein, like animal protein sources, is essential for healthy coat growth.

⚛️Essential Fatty Acids:
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, found in fish oil and certain vegetable oils, are essential for maintaining a healthy skin and a shiny coat. They help prevent dryness and support the production of natural oils that keep the coat soft and lustrous.

⚛️Vitamins and Minerals:
Vitamins like A, C, E, and B-complex vitamins, along with minerals like zinc and biotin, play crucial roles in skin and coat health. They help with skin repair, hydration, and overall coat maintenance.

⚛️Balanced Diet:
A balanced diet ensures the dog receives all the necessary nutrients in the correct proportions, preventing deficiencies and promoting optimal coat health.

⚛️Addressing Dietary Intolerances:
For dogs with sensitivities, choosing a diet that avoids specific ingredients like wheat or maize can help alleviate skin issues like itching and dryness.

❤️How can we help? We can tell you if your dog's coat isn't up to scratch, and advise of skin issues.

❤️We can offer advice on good foods for your good boys and girls.

Please read ...

Grot/garotte collar. A choke cord. Please explain how it doesn't choke a dog?

Nice and thin, so the pressure is maximised.

People who use this shouldn't be allowed near a photo of a dog, let alone a real one.

Remember, when you interact with content online, you spreads the reach to those who are ready to hear the message of this. If you disagree, the best thing to do is to scroll on by! (Reactions emojis like/love/laugh also count)

Edit - I'm not interested in any specific use of slip leads or choke cords for any "unique" circumstances you may have.

Not the most pleasant Friday Fact, but fleas...

🪲🪲🪲Flea season is April to November. Any dog can get fleas, even the cleanest and freshest pooches.🪲🪲🪲

How Grooming Helps:

⏱️Early Detection:
Regular grooming, including brushing and using a flea comb, can help spot fleas, flea dirt (tiny black specks), and eggs early, allowing for quicker intervention.

🐶Physical Removal:
A flea comb can physically remove fleas, flea dirt, and eggs from the pet's coat.

🧴Flea Shampoo:
Using a flea shampoo during grooming can help kill adult fleas and wash away flea dirt.
Preventative Measures:
Grooming can help keep the pet's coat clean, which can help prevent fleas from thriving.

🏥We recommend vet prescribed flea treatment, as over the counter treatments may not be right for your pet.

When you bring your dog to us, we always inspect coat, skin, ears and eyes to make sure your good boy or girl is in tip top condition. If we spot fleas, we will let you know and offer advice.❤️

Disclaimer: The gorgeous boy in the picture did NOT have fleas. He did have bundles of energy and was super happy to be in the salon.
