Is your pet embarrassed by bad hair days' Has his coat lost its shine. Is dandruff, tangles or matting a problem? Its all about cat and dog health and grooming.

The first secret to a healthy, shiny coat is a nutritional well-balanced raw natural diet. This grows a gorgeous coat from the inside indicating a healthy, happy pet.

The second secret is what you can do from the outside to keep this gorgeous coat, regular brushing. Stimulating the lymph system with regular brushing improves your pets immune system. It stimulates the skin, improves circulation, prevents tangling, and helps distribute the natural oils throughout the entire coat. In addition, brushing also helps to remove fleas, flea eggs and ticks. Pet health and grooming is a critical part of being a conscientious pet owner.

Long haired pets require more frequent brushing than your short haired pets, but frequent brushing is good for all pets. Most pets love to be brushed, if you are gentle and you started brushing them when they were young. Using a loofa sponge will increase circulation & smooth the coat, but you will need a brush or curry comb to remove shedding hair.

Go over your pet with a flea comb regularly during summer months to make sure he has not picked up any stray fleas or ticks while outside or with other animals.

Do not shampoo your pet too frequently. It can increase problems by removing natural oils from the coat and irritate the skin. This can create more bad hair days!!

Heres to your Perfect Paws!
