August 10, 2023By Sally Hayler

At Benyfit Natural we believe in 100% natural care for our dogs and that goes all the way from what we feed them to the products we use to groom them. That's why we love brands like Anicura that take a holistic approach to all pets wellbeing with all natural grooming products.

We're handing over to the experts at Anicura to give you their top tips on how you can keep your dog looking their best...

At Anicura we firmly believe that the foundation for healthy and allergy free skin lies within a balanced diet, one that incorporates at least 60% raw meat, this is the first place that pet owners should start when trying to help itchy or inflamed skin. Once you have the right diet in check, you need to take a look at what you're are applying to their skin.

Avoid harsh ingredients

You might be tempted to reach for a product that’ll make your pet smell ‘good’.

However, many of these contain harsh chemicals such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS/SLES) which can spell trouble for your dog’s skin. These aggressive ingredients strip away natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and discomfort. Avoid products with commonly known skin irritants, such as synthetic fragrances (parfum) and opt for products packed with natural skin loving ingredients which will nourish their coats.

Our Dog Shampoo is a natural alternative to harsh chemical shampoos, perfect for dogs with itchy, sensitive, or dry skin. Infused with soothing oat, calming chamomile, and moisturising aloe vera. It leaves the skin and fur nourished, moisturised, and beautifully shiny.

Pro tip: If your dog shampoo creates a lot of foam, it means its packed full of SLS & SLES.

Protect their skin and fur

Unlike human’s who can protect their skin with layers of clothing, our pets only form of protection against the elements are their coats. Since a dog’s coat serves as their primary defence, it’s imperative to employ products that nurture and strengthen their skin and fur.

Opting for natural ingredients is essential when sustaining their overall skin health and well-being.

Strengthen their skin

Remember you do not need to wash your dog too often. To protect their skin and keep their fur shiny in between washes try our Anicura Gel and Spray.

Anicura Dog Gel

Soothes and restores dry, irritated, and inflamed skin, helping with rashes, cuts and grazes, and hot spots. The omega-rich formula calms the skin and provides essential nourishment, promoting quick healing.

Anicura Dog Spray

Packed with 15 natural oils and extracts, this spray is a multitasker! To gently remove tangle, mats, and excess hair apply the spray and gently brush your pet’s fur. You can also apply the liquid using your hands for targeted application. However, if an area is particularly sore, it may be best to let the product sink in naturally. Let the potent natural ingredients work their magic, providing instant relief and breaking the itch/ scratch cycle. Full of vitamins and minerals the spray will not only strengthen the skin over time but leave your pup smelling naturally fresh!

Crafting a tailored grooming routine

Finally, we know that grooming is an essential aspect of dog care, but the frequency depends on your pet’s breed and skin condition. Each dog is unique, and so are their grooming needs. Some breeds may require more frequent grooming, while others may need less attention. Observe your dog’s coat and skin to determine the ideal grooming schedule.
