Tips to Keep Your Dog’s Coat Healthy Between Groomings

Keeping your dog’s coat shiny and tangle-free doesn’t just make them look good—it also keeps them comfortable and healthy. Here are some easy ways to maintain your dog’s coat between grooming appointments with Millie’s Mobile Pet Grooming.

Brush Regularly

Brushing helps remove dirt, loose fur, and tangles while distributing natural oils that make the coat shine. Short-haired breeds may only need brushing once a week, while long-haired breeds benefit from daily brushing.

Choose the Right Tools

A slicker brush works great for detangling, while a bristle brush is ideal for short coats. For heavy shedders, consider a de-shedding tool to minimize loose hair around the house.

Bathe Your Dog Wisely

Too many baths can strip the coat of natural oils. Aim for once every 4–6 weeks, or as needed, using a mild, pet-safe shampoo.

Keep Their Diet Balanced

A shiny coat starts from the inside. High-quality dog food rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids helps promote healthy skin and fur.

Schedule Regular Grooming

Even with good home care, professional grooming is essential for maintaining your dog’s coat in top condition.

Final Tip: A well-groomed coat isn’t just about beauty—it’s about health, comfort, and happiness. Book your next appointment with Millie’s Mobile Pet Grooming today for expert care at your doorstep.
