Does your dog have a dry coat? Here is what you can do!
Sunday, May 17, 2026
You pet your dog and notice that his coat feels dry and stiff. He might even suffer from flakes or annoying itching. A dry coat lacks its natural shine and protection. Fortunately, you can easily do something about this yourself.
Brushing is like a massage
Start by brushing regularly. This works well against tangles, but also acts as a wonderful skin massage. During brushing, you spread the natural skin fat (sebum) nicely over the hairs. This fat layer is very important: it provides shine and protects the skin against further drying out.
Use a shampoo that restores moisture
For a dry coat, you need products that provide extra nourishment. Many Pet Silk products contain natural silk extracts with 17 different amino acids. These penetrate deep into the hair and repair it from the inside out. A perfect choice for a dry coat is the Moisturizing Shampoo.
Do you prefer a vegan product? Then the Aloe Vera Oatmeal or the Moroccan Argan Oil products are the best for a dry coat. Because these are 100% vegan formulas, these products do not contain silk extracts. Instead, they use the pure power of plants. The oatmeal and aloe vera intensively soothe the irritated skin, while the argan oil repairs damaged hairs and perfectly restores the moisture balance.
Finish with a conditioner
Washing is best done in two steps: shampoo and conditioner. A good conditioner restores the moisture balance immediately after washing and prevents new tangles. Good to know: Pet Silk products are highly concentrated, so you can dilute them with water up to 1 to 16. This means you can use one bottle for a very long time!
The extra care
Do you want to instantly give the coat an extra shine? Then rub a few drops of Pet Silk Liquid Silk Serum or Brazilian Keratin Oil into your hands and massage it through the dry or wet coat. This nourishes the hairs immediately and leaves a beautiful shine, without making the coat feel greasy or heavy.
With a little extra love and the right products, your four-legged friend will be shining again in no time!
