Summer days are for sunshine, belly rubs, and endless zoomies in the park. But just like us humans, our furry friends need a little extra TLC when the temperatures soar. Here's the scoop on how to keep your pup's coat healthy, shiny, and ready for all those summertime adventures!
Sun's Out, SPF for Snouts!
Not all doggos are created equal. Pups with light fur, bald spots, or pink noses are more susceptible to sunburn. Protect these sensitive areas with a dog-specific sunscreen. Think ears, noses, and around the eyes – anywhere the fur is sparse.
Brush Away the Summer Blues (and Fur!)
Regular brushing is a summer must-do. It removes loose fur that can trap heat, prevents uncomfortable matting, and distributes natural oils for a healthy shine. Plus, who doesn't love a good cuddle session with a freshly brushed pup?
Cleanliness is Coolness
A clean coat is a happy (and cool!) coat. Regular baths with a gentle dog shampoo remove dirt, allergens, and anything else your pup might have picked up during their outdoor escapades. Remember, skip the harsh human soaps that can dry out your dog's skin.
Healthy Coat, Happy Pup (and a Cooler One Too!)
A healthy coat acts as a natural insulator, helping your dog regulate their body temperature. Regular grooming promotes healthy skin and fur, which allows for better heat dissipation, keeping your pup feeling cool and comfortable all summer long.
Bonus Tip: Keeping Your Pup Clean After Playtime
After a day of digging in the dirt or splashing in the pool, your pup's fur might be a magnet for debris. Here's where your trusty Lazy Dog Lounger comes in! The elevated mesh design helps prevent dirt and grass from sticking to your pup's fur, making post-playtime clean-up a breeze.
So there you have it! With a little summer skincare routine and a comfy Lazy Dog Lounger to keep them clean after playtime, your pup's coat will be glowing all season long. Now get out there and enjoy those unforgettable summer adventures together! ☀️
