GROOMING

As those chilly nights draw in, we know autumn is here. Autumn is a wonderful season to get outside and spend time with your dog. But there are a few potential risks dog owners should bear in mind. The health and happiness of our pups should always be a priority. So consider these safety precautions when caring for your dog this autumn.

Take care of your dog’s paws

When piles of leaves litter the streets, potentially harmful debris can lurk underneath. Broken glass and sharp objects hidden under the leaves could cut your dog’s paw pads, so it’s always a good idea to check your dog’s paws regularly.

Taking the dog for a walk through the glorious summer days is something we all adore. But when autumn comes along with its lashings of rain, it’s not always fun and games. Here are a few tips to help you embrace and even enjoy those soggy walks with your pooch.

For some people, walking in wet weather is the main downside of owning a dog and often becomes a dreaded chore. And while you could be lucky with a dog that prefers to stay indoors until the rain stops, others love a good romp around in puddles. Meaning you’re dragged outside in the cold, wind and rain whether you like it or not!

But your rainy dog walks don’t have to be a nightmare. Preparing yourself both mentally and physically will have a huge impact on how you view those rainy strolls. Here are a few tips to help you embrace

As the happy pet parent of a new puppy, you may be pondering over a seemingly simple question: Is there a real difference between puppy shampoo and adult dog shampoo? The answer may surprise you and hopefully it will make you question some of the products marketed as puppy shampoo.  By the end of this article you will be able to recognise what to look for in a natural dog shampoo that is safe for puppies.

WHAT MAKES PUPPY SHAMPOO DIFFERENT FROM ADULT DOG SHAMPOO?

The general idea behind puppy shampoo is that it would use more mild ingredients than shampoo made for adult dogs because a puppy's skin is more delicate, thin, and sensitive compared to an adult dog's skin (the same is true of humans too)! A puppy's skin is also less resistant to chemicals and harsh ingredients so it should never contain artificial fragrance, artificial colors, or harsh preservatives.

If you're a dog owner, chances are you've heard of anal gland issues. These small sacs located on either side of your dog's anus can cause discomfort and even pain if they become impacted or infected.

In this blog post, Proflax will provide some information about the causes and symptoms of anal gland problems together with information about Proflax Bottoms Up, a natural and effective supplement that will help to keep your dogs bottom healthy and happy!

Dogs sunburn just like you and I. Certain dogs are at a greater predisposition to sunburn, including white dogs, light-colored dogs, short-haired and hairless dogs. Regardless of colour, coat or breed, all dogs sunburn.

Dog sunburn is especially common in areas with little to no fur, such as their nose, belly, around the mouth, eyelids and ears. Dogs can also sunburn through their fur; especially white or light-colored dogs with fair skin.

A dog sunburn is nothing to ignore, as reoccurring or untreated burns, may lead to an increased risk for skin cancer. They can also be painful and irritating, just like sunburns for humans.

As a pet parent, you are likely no stranger to dry dog skin. Picture this: Your beloved four-legged companion with constantly irritated skin, incessant scratching, leaving behind flakes in their coat, and perhaps even developing redness or hot spots.

Any pet parent who has been awakened by the bed shaking from a scratching dog knows what I am talking about, right?
