If you have ever wondered why your dog doesn’t have the same healthy glow it used to, or a coat as shiny as other dogs might have, then it could simply be a case that they actually just are not as healthy as these other pups.
Much of what informs how vital and healthy a dog will look revolves around just how healthy they are, and if their coat seems dull and unhealthy, then there is a chance that you need to reassess what you are feeding them.
Looking at dog nutrition will not only help your pet look healthier, but you will also undoubtedly see a change in the way they act too. The more energy and nutrients they receive in their diet, the better they will look and the happier they will seem.
It can also help to add a small amount of sunflower oil or fish oil to their food occasionally. Not only will such oils help improve shine, but it will also help them to maintain their coat and reduce shedding.
Of course, dog nutrition will not be the only way to help them look healthier. The right grooming will be vital, so ensure that you brush your dogs regularly and, when washing them, try to always use shampoos that are of a high quality to do so. However, try not to wash them too regularly as this can actually start to dry out the skin and hair.
Finally, if you still notice that the shine has gone from your dog’s fur, it might be worth visiting a vet. If you have tried all other options, a loss of shine may actually be a symptom of a certain medical condition, and your vet maybe able to help resolve the issue, or you may even find that the loss of shine is a symptom of something more serious.
