Your pet's coat is a reflection of your pet's
overall health. If you are not giving your pet a healthy diet
or if your pet is sick, your pet's coat will become dull and limp,
its hair without any shine.
You can help your pet have a healthy coat by
feeding it a healthy diet. The following foods can help improve
your pet's coat:
* Protein -- fish, poultry, meat, eggs, yogurt,
cheese
* Vitamin A -- milk, oily fish, eggs, carrots
* Vitamin B -- whole grains, eggs, meat, fish, wheat germ
* Vitamin D -- oily fish, fish liver oils
* Vitamin E -- wheat germ
* Iron -- kidneys, lentils, liver
* Calcium -- eggs, cheese, milk, sardines, yogurt
* Iodine -- dried kelp, seafood, iodized salt
When added to your pet's diet once every week,
organic coconut oil can improve your pet's skin and promote a
healthy coat. To prevent your pet from shedding too much, add
zinc in the diet and also up the protein levels. For thickening
your pet's coat, feed your pet a balanced diet. An unbalanced
diet can dull pet hair and coat. This happens if you add too much
of the wrong supplements in the wrong amounts in your pet's diet.
Aside from feeding your pet a healthy diet, you
also need to regularly groom your pet so that it has a healthy
coat. A healthy diet and regular, proper grooming will prevent
your pet from shedding, let your pet's coat to grow longer, thicker
and healthier. Be aware that dry weather and blow drying can strip
the moisture off your pet's coat. In the same manner, frequent
shampooing and using shampoos with harsh ingredients can dry pet
hair and cause split ends.
If your pet's coat is dry:
* Use mayonnaise. Before giving your pet the
final rinse, apply one tablespoon of mayonnaise on your pet's
coat and let it sit for about five minutes and then rinse off
the mayonnaise. Mayonnaise treatment is actually recommended to
be done for an hour. If you go with this method, though, don't
rinse the mayonnaise off. Dry your pet's coat with the mayonnaise
still in the coat. Your pet's coat will absorb the oils in the
next few days.
* Spray beer on your pet's coat. If the mayonnaise
treatment doesn't do anything on your pet's coat, spray beer on
the coat like a setting lotion. The beer will give your pet's
coat a look that is shiny, crisp and healthy. Spray beer on your
pet's coat after shampooing your pet. Towel dry and then blow
dry your pet's coat.
