Tips for caring for your greyhound's skin and coat
If you are not sure how to start taking care of your greyhound's skin and coat, take note of the following tips and add an extra dose of doggy love daily. It never fails!
1. The bathroom only when it touches
Although it may seem that bathing is the key to making your galguete's coat look shiny, healthy and beautiful, it is not. We advise you to bathe your furry only when necessary and it is really dirty. Greyhounds are very clean and hardly smell, so over-bathing them could damage their skin.
2. Choose the right shampoo
When you decide to bathe him use a shampoo whose components are natural and with a pH similar to that of the dog, which would be pH 7. Never use your soap to bathe him, as it could affect the skin. Dog Moms products are for Dog Moms only.
3. Brush it every week
Greyhound hair needs a weekly brushing even if it's short. Uses a rubber brush oo a natural bristle brush to avoid damaging the skin and to help you remove dead hair and dirt. If you do it this often, you will immediately notice that its coat is brighter.
4. Watch your diet
That your dog is well fed can make the difference between a beautiful hair and a spectacular coat. Give it a quality feed, read the composition and make sure it contains everything your friend needs. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids strengthen the hair, also some vegetables such as carrots, peas, alfalfa, and broccoli are very beneficial. If you find a feed with those ingredients, great!
5. Use vitamin supplements
In molting times you can give your greyhound vitamin supplements so that new hair grows healthy and strong. Of course, it is not about eliminating the molt, since it is necessary, it is about making it last less. We advise you to try omega 3 oil supplements.
6. Be very careful with the cold
Greyhounds are very sensitive dogs to low temperatures and humidity, so in autumn and winter put a good sweater or sweatshirt to go out for a walk. And if you think it's a bit cold at home, you can put some pajamas on it.
7. Try to avoid injuries
Greyhounds love to run free in the field, but sometimes they get so excited that they scratch themselves as they pass through the bushes and trees. The best way to avoid these injuries is by using a lycra dungarees. This same garment can be used in summer to cool them if it is very hot, since you can wet it and put it on so that they are cool.
