Too many pet owners leave Puppy Paradise
everyday saying that the great haircut their pet just
received should hold over “until the weather
gets warm again”.
Unfortunately, it is common misconception among pet
owners that their pets need a thick matted coat to
keep warm during the winter. Actually, this is falsehood
that can do more harm than good.
A dense, matted coat may appear warm
but, these thick layers of hair contribute to many
skin disorders.
A matted pet’s skin over time
locks moisture under the hair and dries the skin,
and this repeated process can contribute to many skin
problems from dry skin to dermatitis, infected ears,
painfully long toenails and other complex rashes which
take weeks to go away and can cost a lot in medical
expenses.
Your pet’s skin needs as much
cleansing and moisturization as yours does. Every
winter many people suffer from mild bouts with dry,
cracked skin that is easily treatable with lotions.
But imagine if you had a thick mat of hair covering
that dry skin. Doesn’t sound comfortable, huh?
But how can you avoid making your pet suffer through
a long, harsh winter?
The simple, easy, and inexpensive
way is through regular grooming. For most breeds,
once every 6 to 8 weeks is enough to keep their coat
in top condition and their skin, ears, and nails healthy.
Many studies have shown that light,
fluffy coats are far warmer than thick, matted coats
in the cold weather. When matted, hair becomes compressed
and loses much of it s insulating properties.
Also, by maintaining your pet’s
coat throughout the winter, you can avoid shaving
him or her down for the summer months, a style which
many pet owners feel guilty about giving to their
pets.
At Puppy Paradise, we can pamper your
pet and keep him or her looking and feeling great
all year round.
