5 Steps to a Shiny and Healthy Coat For Your Dog

Nutrition is the most important thing for a shiny and healthy coat for your dog.

The food you're feeding will show in your pet's coat and overall health.

You Can Have a Beautiful,
Shiny and Healthy Coat for Your Dog


Beef for Dogs First, what is your dog eating?

Kibble? Then is it a good quality meat based kibble?

Lots of dogs with a poor coat turn out to thrive on a better quality of food.



Second, make sure your dog is eating a good diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids (fish, olive oil, flax seeds and other foods are full of these healthy essential fatty acids)



This can be really simple Choose any of the following or mix them up for a shiny, healthy coat.

  • Pour a teaspoon or tablespoon (a little dog gets a teaspoon, a big dog (over 50 pounds gets a tablespoon) of olive oil over your pet's food daily.

  • olive oil in your dog's food

  • Add a teaspoon of flaxseeds over your pet's food or feed treats rich with flaxseeds

  • Only Natural Pet Salmon Oil 8.75 oz. is one of the best sources of Omega 3 fatty acids out there.
  • Raw foods can heal your pet and give him a beautiful, showdog quality coat.

    There are frozen varieties available which make it simple for you.

    I add sometimes buy frozen raw beef or lamb medallions to mix in with Baggins' kibble and then add some olive oil. He loves it and his coat has gotten softer and has fewer tangles after just a week of adding the olive oil!


  • Baggins as our ringbearer

    I use a fabulous natural dog shampoo on Baggins. It's full of aloe and jojoba oil to soothe his skin and "feed" his fur. His coat is soft and lush as a result.
