🛁 Grooming & coat

Brushing, bathing and skin health for a coat that stays healthy.

🩺 Vet-aware guidance · Last reviewed August 2026

Quick answer: Brush to your pet's coat type, bathe only when needed with a pet shampoo, and treat the skin from the inside with omega-3s. Flaky or smelly skin is a vet visit.

A healthy coat starts with the skin underneath it. Brush regularly to your pet's coat type - short coats need less, double coats need more, especially during shedding season.

Bathe only when your pet is genuinely dirty, and use a pet shampoo; human products disrupt their skin pH. Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet support skin and coat from the inside.

Persistent flaking, odor, hot spots, or hair loss point to an underlying issue - allergies, parasites, or infection - and are worth a vet or a professional groomer's eye.
