Natural Skin Care Basics
Holistic Dog Skin Care
First, let’s begin with the basics of holistic skin care in general.
I would rather you start here, make some simple changes which have the potential to keep your dog’s health at an optimum state, where skin & ear conditions don’t occur.
1. Diet & Nutrition
I consider what you feed you dog to be the most important choice you make for your dog. When you provide your dog with an optimum diet, it’s body has the vital components to thrive and be healthy.
Many years ago, (in the 80’s), when I owned a grooming business, I saw first hand, every type of skin and ear condition while grooming clients dogs.
I vowed to find the solution, and my search included researching shampoos, lotions, sprays & most importantly, dog nutrition. This even inspired me to study alternative therapies like homeopathy, herbal and flower essence therapy.
What I discovered was the importance of nutrition, so I was the first groomer in my town to sell premium pet foods. This allowed me to see first hand, the results of a diet change, because I groomed them on a regular basis.
