It’s not easy to keep your pet’s coat clean and spotless, especially if they have a mischievous personality and love to roll around in a muddy patch of grass or run for the hills when it’s bath time. You may think these personality traits are reserved for dogs, however cats can also play a part in the rogue and playful scheme of things.

FURminator Long Hair deShedding Tool for Large Dogs

Even if your cat or dog is a shy and retiring type of pet, their coat can often become dull, dusty and rough if not enough care and grooming is applied. The grooming ritual for your pet’s coat can vary depending on the length and texture of hair. The breed can also have a massive effect on how you clean and brush their coat.

If you’re lucky enough to have a pet that doesn’t create havoc at bath time, the type of shampoo and conditioner you wash your cat or dog’s coat with is a good start to a clean, healthy and glossy coat (and yes, cats too occasionally need a bath!). If your pet is prone to an excessive amount of shedding, the Furminator range features a highly recommended deshedding shampoo and conditioner enriched with Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids to promote a healthy and shiny coat.

So, you’ve got the bath time covered. How about meal times? It’s especially important to treat your pet to healthy and nutritious food to ensure a thick and silky smooth coat, while having a rich and succulent taste for a healthy yet enjoyable dietary lifestyle. Specialist pet foods from trusted manufacturers such as James Wellbeloved can provide all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals your pet needs to stay in tip top condition – and they taste good too, promoting a healthy appetite

Finally, to keep fleas, ticks and lice at bay it’s essential to prep your pet’s coat to avoid early infestation, making sure that not only is their coat kept fresh and flea free, but the skin is protected from any kind of infestation and the subsequent skin conditions it can lead to. Frontline for cats and dogs is a range of treatments specially formulated for dogs and cats of all ages to protect against infestations.
