Role of the coat in dogs and cats
The coat performs several vital functions for animals:
- Skin protection: Fur acts as a natural barrier against wounds, insects and environmental elements.
- Thermal regulation: In winter, the coat retains heat, while in summer, it limits direct exposure to the sun.
- Health Signal: A shiny, dense coat is often the sign of a healthy animal, while a dull coat, excessive shedding or bald patches may indicate an underlying problem.
Coat Care: A Necessity Adapted to Every Pet's Needs
Brushing
Brushing is an essential part of coat maintenance, removing dead hairs and avoiding tangles. It also stimulates blood circulation and helps distribute natural oils throughout the coat, enhancing shine and health.
- Frequency: Long-haired dogs and cats need daily brushing, while short-haired ones can be brushed once or twice a week.
- Suitable equipment: Use specific brushes and combs according to coat type (soft brush for short coats, rake for thick coats, anti-tangle comb for long coats).
Bath
Regular bathing helps eliminate impurities, excess sebum and parasites. However, they should be adapted to the sensitivity of your pet's skin, and not be too frequent to avoid damaging the skin barrier.
Specialized shampoos: Opt for shampoos formulated for your pet's specific needs:
- Nourishing shampoos: To revitalize dry, dull coats.
- Shampoos for short coats: Formulated to clean effectively without weighing down the coat.
- Shampoos for sensitive skin: Hypoallergenic, they respect animals prone to irritation.
Moisturizing and Specific Care
Moisturizing conditioners or sprays can help keep coats soft and supple. These products provide deep nourishment and prevent the formation of tangles, especially on long-coated animals.
Identifying common coat problems
Regular maintenance helps to identify any coat problems at an early stage, such as :
- Excessive hair loss: often linked to nutritional deficiencies, allergies or stress.
- Parasites: Fleas, ticks and mites cause itching, redness and secondary infections.
- Tarnished or dry coat: Indicates dietary imbalances, dehydration or skin disease.
- Itching and Irritation: May indicate dermatitis, fungal infection or allergy.

- Observe Changes: Watch for unusual signs such as localized shedding, itching or redness.
- Consult in case of doubt: In the event of persistent problems, veterinary advice is essential to identify the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
- Adapt the diet: A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is essential to maintain a healthy coat.
A well-maintained coat reflects the animal's internal health. Healthy skin and shiny fur not only improve appearance, but also contribute to overall comfort and well-being. Regular coat care also strengthens the bond between pet and owner, providing a special moment of complicity.
