Wellness grooming is a modern approach to dog care that combines aesthetic procedures with care for the animal’s health. This method not only ensures the flawless appearance of your pet, but also contributes to the maintenance of its physical and emotional well-being. Every year, more and more responsible dog owners pay attention to health grooming and are interested in this concept in our salons, because they understand the importance of a comprehensive health approach to the care of their pets.

Differences between health grooming and regular grooming

Use of special shampoos and conditioners:

Wellness grooming involves the use of products designed specifically for sensitive skin or dogs prone to allergies, or taking into account the individual needs of each animal. These shampoos and conditioners are free of harsh chemicals and often include natural ingredients like oatmeal, aloe vera, and essential oils. They help soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and moisturize the coat, all of which contribute to the overall health of your Pooch.

Frequent use of antibacterial and antifungal agents:

For the prevention and treatment of skin diseases, health grooming includes the use of antibacterial and antifungal agents. These products help destroy harmful microorganisms that can cause infections, dermatitis and other skin problems. Regular use of such products is especially important for dogs that have problems with the immune system or are often exposed to allergens in the external environment.

Regular use of moisturizing masks and oils:

One of the main health grooming procedures is the application of moisturizing masks and oils that help maintain a healthy condition of the dog’s coat and skin. These products are enriched with beneficial ingredients such as vitamins A, E and omega-3 fatty acids to provide intense hydration and nourishment. Regular use of masks and oils helps prevent dryness and flaking of the skin, makes the coat soft, shiny and elastic.

Use of products to strengthen the wool coat:

In order to strengthen the coat and prevent it from falling out, special products are used as part of health grooming, which contribute to the strengthening of hair follicles. These can be shampoos, conditioners and serums with biotin, keratin and silk proteins. These ingredients penetrate deep into the structure of the wool, strengthening it from the inside and reducing brittleness and shedding.

Special procedures

Massages to improve blood circulation and reduce stress:

Massage is an important part of health grooming because it improves blood circulation, promotes muscle relaxation and reduces stress in dogs. Regular massage helps to improve the general condition of the skin and coat, promotes the elimination of toxins and improves the well-being of the animal.

Hydrotherapy for the treatment and prevention of joint diseases:

Hydrotherapy is another effective health grooming procedure used to treat and prevent joint diseases. Water procedures help relieve inflammation, reduce pain and improve joint mobility. Hydrotherapy is especially useful for aging dogs and those suffering from arthritis or joint dysplasia. It also promotes general relaxation and stress reduction in animals.

Tips for taking better care of your dog

Recommendations for food additives that improve the condition of the coat and skin:

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids: These supplements help moisturize the skin and make the coat shiny and healthy. They also help reduce inflammation and itching that often occurs with allergies.

Biotin: This supplement helps strengthen the coat and prevent shedding. It also promotes healthy coat growth and improves the overall condition of the skin.

Zinc: Essential for maintaining healthy skin and coat. It helps fight skin infections and promotes rapid wound healing.

Tips for adjusting your dog’s diet to improve your dog’s overall health:

Proteins

Ensure that your dog’s diet contains enough high-quality proteins, which are the building blocks for a healthy coat and muscles.

Fats

Unsaturated fats such as omega-3 are very important for maintaining a healthy skin and coat. Include fish, flaxseed oil or special supplements in your diet.

Vitamins and minerals

Vitamins A, E and zinc will support the health of the skin and coat. Make sure your dog’s diet is rich in these nutrients.

Recommendations regarding the frequency of procedures depending on the breed and health of the dog:

Short Coated Breeds: Grooming once every 4-6 weeks is usually sufficient, but regular brushing will keep the coat in excellent condition.

Long-haired breeds: It is necessary to carry out grooming more often – once every 2-4 weeks. Regular combing will help to avoid tangles.

Dogs with sensitive skin: Use special shampoos and groom as needed, but at least once a month.
