Why is the coat essential for dogs and cats?

The coat performs several vital functions for animals:

Skin protection: Fur acts as a natural barrier against wounds, insects and environmental elements.
Thermal regulation: In winter, the coat retains heat, while in summer, it limits direct exposure to the sun.
Health Signal: A shiny, dense coat is often the sign of a healthy animal, while a dull coat, excessive shedding or balding may indicate an underlying problem.

How to care for a healthy coat according to hair type?

Brushing is one of the most important ways to maintain the coat, remove dead hairs and avoid tangles. It also stimulates blood circulation and helps distribute natural oils throughout the coat, improving its shine and health.

Frequency: Long-haired dogs and cats need daily brushing, while short-haired ones can be brushed once or twice a week.
Suitable equipment: Use specific brushes and combs according to coat type (soft brush for short coats, rake for thick coats, anti-tangle comb for long coats).

Regular bathing helps eliminate impurities, excess sebum and parasites. However, they must be adapted to the sensitivity of the animal's skin and not be too frequent to avoid damaging the skin barrier.

Specialized shampoos: Opt for shampoos formulated for your pet's specific needs:

Nourishing shampoos: To revitalize dry, dull coats.
Shampoos for short coats: Formulated to clean effectively without weighing down the coat.
Shampoos for sensitive skin: Hypoallergenic, they respect animals prone to irritation.

The use of conditioners or moisturizing sprays can help keep coats soft and supple. These products provide deep nourishment and prevent the formation of tangles, especially on long-coated animals.

How to spot a coat problem in your pet?

Regular care is the best way to spot potential coat problems, such as

Excessive hair loss: often linked to nutritional deficiencies, allergies or stress.
Parasites: Fleas, ticks and mites cause itching, redness and secondary infections.
Tarnished or dry coat: Indicates dietary imbalances, dehydration or skin disease.
Itching and Irritation: May indicate dermatitis, fungal infection or allergy.
