Japanese Spitz (Detailed Introduction)

       Generally, a healthy dog has a relatively soft and shiny coat, but due to various factors, sometimes a dog's coat becomes dry and dull, which does not look very attractive. What to do if a dog's coat is too dry? First, we need to find out the cause of the dryness and then take appropriate measures.

       1. First, the cause of the dog's dry skin and coat should be clarified. It could be malnutrition, such as a lack of protein, fatty acids, and other substances; it may also be due to improper daily care, leading to very dry skin and coat.

       2. In daily life, the pet dog's diet should be well arranged. The basic standard is rich and balanced nutrition. For the skin, enough protein, fatty acids (linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid), vitamins, and other minerals should be supplemented. As long as the dog's nutrition is balanced and comprehensive, its coat can grow healthier.

       3. To solve the problem of dry dog skin and coat, there is another point to note: scientific care is necessary. Usually, insist on brushing the dog’s hair daily and take it to bask in sunlight to promote blood circulation in the body, which is very healthy for the skin and coat. In addition, when choosing bathing products, attention must be paid to selecting special pet shampoos suitable for dogs. Never use human or other pets' bathing products casually for convenience.

       It can be seen that whether a dog's coat is healthy is greatly related to our daily care. The dog's diet must be paid attention to, ensuring balanced nutrition. Grooming should be done carefully, and human shower gels must not be used to wash dogs, as this will disrupt the acid-base balance of the dog's coat and cause adverse effects.
