Winter Dog Skin and Coat Care

Winter Dog Skin and Coat Care: Keep Your Pup Comfortable & Glossy

Cold winds, dry indoor heating and fewer outdoor adventures can leave your dog’s skin itchy and their coat dull.

This guide covers everything you need for healthy winter dog skin and coat care—from nutrition and hydration to our own soothing natural products.

Nourish from the Inside with Skin-Loving Supplements

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids lock in moisture and bring back natural shine. Proflax Skin & Coat and Proflax Omega Vital are packed with these essential oils, helping to:

• Strengthen the skin barrier

• Calm irritation and flakiness

• Support immune health when cold weather hits

Pairing these with Dorwest Garlic & Fenugreek offers an extra boost for dogs prone to winter dryness.

Hydration Hacks 💧

Indoor heating dehydrates. Always keep fresh water out and try adding warm (not hot) water or nutrient-rich bone broth to meals. Bone broth provides:

• Glucosamine & Chondroitin for joints

• Amino acids for skin repair

• Essential minerals for vitality

Regular Brushing = Natural Shine 🐕

Brushing distributes natural oils and stimulates circulation.

• Short coats: rubber brush or grooming glove

• Long coats: slicker brush for gentle detangling

• Double coats: undercoat rake to prevent matting

Check for dry patches while you brush so you can act fast.

Gentle Bathing with Moisture-Rich Shampoo

Winter baths should be soothing, not stripping. Use our Aloe-based Sensitive Soul Natural Shampoo Bar—designed to calm itchy or flaky skin and preserve natural oils.

• Bathe sparingly (every 4–6 weeks or as needed)

• Dry thoroughly to avoid chills

• Finish with a quick brush for extra gloss

Cosy Coats & Jumpers for Extra Protection

A well-fitting coat shields sensitive skin from icy winds—especially for seniors or short-haired breeds. Choose breathable, non-toxic fabrics to stay aligned with eco-friendly care.

Targeted Winter Skin Support

Notice redness or scratching? Top up with Proflax Skin & Coat or Dorwest Garlic & Fenugreek. For localized dryness, apply a natural balm to calm irritation.

Paws & Noses Need Love Too 🐾

Salted paths and frosty air can crack paw pads and dry noses. Protect them with our Natural Paw & Nose Balm:

• Apply before walks to create a barrier

• Rinse paws after walks to remove salt

• Re-apply after drying for lasting moisture

Quick FAQ

Q: Why does my dog’s coat look dull in winter? Dry air and indoor heating sap moisture. Add Omega-rich supplements and brush regularly.

Q: How often should I bathe my dog in cold weather? Only when needed—every 4–6 weeks—with a moisturising shampoo like our Sensitive Soul Bar.

Q: Do I really need paw balm? Yes! It prevents cracking from salt and ice, keeping paws comfortable all season.
