Glow goals: how to give your dog a shiny and healthy Insta-ready coat

The new year has begun, and along with fresh resolutions, we want our dogs to step into the year just as bright and refreshed as we do. A shiny coat is the key to a healthy, photogenic look. Whether you’re sharing a cosy walk on Instagram or want your dog to feel fresh and happy, a proper grooming routine is essential.

In this blog, we’ll show you how small, achievable changes and the natural products from the Pawness Care Collection can give your dog a healthy and Insta-ready coat.

Why a shiny coat matters for your dog

A shiny coat isn’t just beautiful to look at; it’s a clear sign of your dog’s health. A dull or dry coat can indicate a lack of proper nutrition, insufficient grooming, or even stress. But don’t worry; a few simple steps can make a difference. Who knows, your dog might even become the social media star of the year with their picture-perfect coat!

Grooming: the foundation of a shiny coat

Proper grooming is the foundation of a healthy coat. This includes regular brushing, washing with the right products, and attention to the skin. Pawness vegan brushes make grooming enjoyable for both you and your dog.

• Short coats: Use the Pawness vegan wooden/nylon brush with soft bristles to remove loose hairs and stimulate the skin.
• Long coats: Choose the vegan wooden brush with sturdy wooden pins to prevent tangles and detangle knots.

Regular brushing removes dirt and enhances the coat’s natural shine. Plus, it’s the perfect time to enjoy quality time with your furry friend!

Bathing: the right shampoo for a radiant coat

A shiny coat starts with a clean base. Always choose a natural shampoo that’s gentle on your dog’s skin and coat. The Bark Bliss Shampoo by Pawness is specially designed to remove dirt and excess oils without drying out the skin.

For a more sustainable option, you can opt for Shampoo Bars. These bars thoroughly cleanse the coat while being eco-friendly; no plastic bottles are needed!

After bathing, use the Bark Bliss Spray to give the coat and skin an extra boost of nourishment and shine. The result? A clean, soft, and radiant coat that’s camera-ready!

A fresh look, every day

Not every day is a bath day, but that doesn’t mean your dog can’t stay fresh. The Fresh Fetch Spray quickly eliminates odours while refreshing and nourishing the coat and skin. It’s ideal after a muddy walk or to give your dog a quick spruce-up.

Looking for something extra? Pawness perfumes, Grapefur Delight and Timber Woof, add the perfect finishing touch.

• Grapefur Delight: A fresh citrus scent that’s perfect for sunny days.
• Timber Woof: A warm, earthy fragrance reminiscent of a peaceful forest walk.

With a spritz of perfume, your dog won’t just smell amazing; they’ll also be ready for their close-up.

Extra love for paws and nose

A shiny coat is essential, but don’t forget those sensitive areas! Your dog’s paws and nose often endure, especially in winter. The Cuddle Cure Balm is perfect for caring for dry or cracked skin.

Apply a small amount after a long walk or when the skin feels dry. It hydrates, protects, and helps the skin recover—perfect for a happy dog!

Nutrition: beauty from the inside out

A shiny coat isn’t just about the outside; it also starts from within. Make sure your dog gets a balanced diet rich in:

• Omega-3 fatty acids: Found in fish oil, flaxseed oil, or special supplements. These help keep the skin hydrated and promote a shiny coat.
• Proteins: Essential for building healthy hair. A diet with high-quality proteins is a must.
• Water: Hydration is key. Always provide fresh water to keep your dog’s skin and coat healthy.

Tips for an achievable coat care routine

Building a grooming routine doesn’t have to be complicated. With these simple steps, you can make coat care a habit:

• Schedule regular grooming sessions: Research your dog’s breed to determine how often their coat needs brushing. Based on the recommended frequency, set fixed times for grooming.
• Wash when needed: Use Bark Bliss Shampoo or Shampoo Bars monthly or when your dog gets dirty.
• Make it fun: Reward your dog with a treat after each grooming session to make it a positive experience.
• Use the right products: Natural products like the Pawness Care Collection are gentle on the skin and deliver the best results.
