Optimize the grooming of the dog with forest power

There are more than 300 different breeds of dogs in the world, and factors such as the length of the coat and the dog's skin itself vary accordingly. Combing and brushing are important parts of dog grooming, but there is more to it than that. As a dog owner, it is important for you to know what type of coat your dog has. This already gives you the basis to find the perfect dog coat care. At Waldkraft, we have great products for dog grooming, because we know how important a shiny coat is for the well-being of your pet.

Dog grooming products - you should know these types

To find the right coat care for the dog, it depends on the type of coat. The classic coat type is the so-called stick coat, which consists of a strong undercoat and additional top coat. Classic dog breeds with this type of coat are Rottweilers, German Shepherds and Labradors. A distinction is then made between long stock hair and short stock hair.

Short-haired animals make coat care in dogs easy, because there is almost no undercoat here. Also, the change of coat in the dog is much less in a short-haired animal. Breeds with this type of coat are for example the Pinscher or the Boxer.

The dog's coat care is somewhat more complex if your four-legged friend is a long-haired dog. Here, too, a distinction can be made between a strong and a weak undercoat. Hunting dogs, for example, have less undercoat, whereas the bobtail has long hair and strong undercoat. The biggest danger with the long-haired dog is matting, which you can prevent by brushing.

The dog's coat care is somewhat different if it is a curly animal, such as the poodle. The entire coat consists almost exclusively of undercoat, there is no coat change. Here it belongs to the fur care with the dog that regularly a shearing is accomplished. Animals with wire hair must also be trimmed, because they have a very thick undercoat and wiry top coat. This does not fall out on its own, a good example is the Dachshund. Regular trimming will keep the hair in shape.

Natural coat care for dogs: combing and brushing are the most important tools

One of the most important parts of grooming a dog is combing. Regardless of the hair type, brushing helps remove old, dead hair from the coat to prevent matting. How often you brush your dog depends on the type of hair:

• Grooming a dog with long hair is more elaborate, it is recommended every two days.
• On the other hand, grooming a dog with short hair is much less complicated, once a week is almost always enough.

You can find a suitable brush for your dog if you pay attention to his coat. For long-haired dogs, you almost always need a high-quality comb. If you can not glide well through the hair structure when grooming your dog and it appears matted, a gentle and natural oil can make the hair smoother again. You can find such products in our forest power store. They can help make the coat smoother and easier to comb, making dog grooming a pleasant experience for both of you.

Coat care for long hair dog: coconut oil keeps the coat supple

Coat care for dogs always includes a balanced skin care. Coat care for dogs with coconut products is already widespread. No wonder, after all, the oil can have a positive effect on skin and coat - and it also smells simply wonderful. Coconut oil can help give shaggy fur more shine and make the hair easier to comb.

Here at Waldkraft you will find various plastic-free premium products that contain coconut oil as a natural ingredient. The products are suitable for dog grooming due to their naturalness and high-quality ingredients. Our combination products like the Kokoo Olive or the Kokoo Lavender contain various natural active ingredients that provide good care for your dog's skin.

Medium-chain fatty acids contained in coconut oil can help prevent parasites. The fatty acid contained in the oils can attack the chinin-containing carapace of vermin, preventing them from settling in the animal's coat. During regular grooming of the dog's coat, which consists of brushing and combing, residues can be conveniently removed. In addition, the ingredients from the coconut oil can be a natural, positive skin care and thus a useful addition in the care of the coat. The oil can be used for stressed, flaky skin.

Dog care products are also available as nutritional supplements

Coat care in dogs can be done locally, but also with various products for nutritional supplementation. Here at Waldkraft you can get for example our 100 percent virgin salmon oil from Norwaywhich is an excellent flavor carrier and contains valuable omega-6 fatty acids. On the one hand, it is often used to make your dog's food more palatable and as a BARF additive also more nutritious. On the other hand, it can be beneficial for the dog's coat care.

The micronutrients contained can be a useful supplement for healthy dog skin and promote a well-groomed, shiny coat. Of course, our Waldkraft Salmon Oil is a product that reflects our values. High-quality ingredients on a purely natural basis are part of our standards.

Natural coat care for dogs - the right thing for every four-legged friend

Dog grooming involves many components that can be really fun. After an extensive walk in the woods with fun in the mud, the dog bath in the garden is often a great pleasure for owner and fur nose. On this occasion, you have the opportunity to take a closer look at the coat and skin of your four-legged friend.

Playing too wildly or a little foray into the undergrowth can result in abrasions, scratches or the like. If your dog suffers from sensitive skin, it can dry out quickly and become chapped, especially in the cold months.

Our Artemisia Annua Balm contains valuable natural ingredients that can be helpful for existing scratches and wounds on the dog's skin. This Waldkraft premium product was produced according to a veterinary recipe and can therefore complement the coat care in the dog particularly high quality.
