Let’s talk about it…
Double-coated dogs can be more prone to skin and coat issues because that thick undercoat can trap moisture, dead skin, dirt and debris close to the skin➡️
Regular brushing and professional grooming can help remove excess undercoat, keep the coat clean and dry, and give you the chance to spot changes in the skin early👏🏼
however… excessive shedding, itching, redness, flakes, scabs, odour or greasy skin shouldn’t just be brushed off as “normal” for the breed
Grooming can support healthy skin, but it can’t diagnose or treat a skin condition, so, if your dog’s skin is persistently irritated or changing, your vet is the best person to speak to✔️
The goal isn’t to get rid of their undercoat, it’s to keep their natural coat healthy, clean and functioning as it should🧡
Save this for later and if you’re ever unsure about your dog’s coat or skin, I’m always just a message away 🐾
