Just like humans, our pets are constantly being exposed to free radicals, toxins, and pollutants from our environment. To determine if your pet has a healthy coat of hair, simply touch it. If the hair appears to be brittle, stiff, dry or thinning this is a sign of poor nutrition and needs to be taken seriously. The coat of your pet should be soft to the touch even in wiry- haired animals. The skin of your pet should be free of scabs & crusts…. not dry or scaly. If your pet’s skin has foul-smelling odor, this could be caused by a buildup of bacteria on your pet’s skin.

It is very important to regularly bathe and brush our pets to keep them healthy. Our pets depend on us to keep them feeling good and looking good. This includes all pets. Even the ones with short hair such as boxers need occasional upkeep. PetHealth has a great variety of healthy pet care products. I use their medicated shampoo on my cats hair. It keeps it silky soft and clean. It also has a very pleasant scent that isn’t overwhelming. It’s a safe vegetable based product that works absolutely great! I also use Furminator Deshedding Solution from Petsmart to help with shedding problems. My cat has very long hair and hairballs can be a problem… This Furminator solution works great on both cats and dogs to help remove loose hair after a bath and reduce brushing time.
