Every pet parent loves seeing their furry friend with a soft, glossy coat. Regular grooming plays a big part in this, but maintaining a healthy, shiny coat between sessions is just as important. With the right routine and products, you can keep your pet’s fur looking and feeling its best every day.

At Bath and Bubbles, we use WildWash natural grooming products—specially formulated with botanical ingredients to nourish your pet’s coat without harsh chemicals. Here are some expert pet hair care tips to help your dog or cat stay sleek, soft, and healthy between professional grooming appointments.

1. Brush Regularly to Prevent Tangles and Shedding

Brushing is the easiest way to keep your pet’s fur in great condition. It removes loose hair, spreads natural oils, and prevents painful mats or tangles.

Short-haired pets: Brush 2–3 times a week with a soft-bristle or rubber brush.

Long-haired pets: Daily brushing with a de-shedding or detangling brush is best.

Pro tip: Always brush in the direction of hair growth to avoid discomfort, and be gentle around sensitive areas like the belly and legs.

2. Use Natural Pet Grooming Products

The right products make all the difference in your pet’s coat health. Many commercial shampoos contain harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances that can strip away natural oils, leaving fur dry and dull.

That’s why we use WildWash products—trusted by pet professionals worldwide. They are 100% natural, free from parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances, and packed with botanical extracts to support coat health.

Here’s why we love them:

🌿 Deep Cleansing Without Drying – Gently removes dirt and excess oils while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance.

🌿 Soothing and Hydrating – Helps reduce irritation, making it perfect for pets with sensitive skin.

🌿 Shiny, Healthy Fur – Natural ingredients like neem, sea kelp, and aloe vera nourish and enhance coat texture.

🌿 Eco-Friendly & Cruelty-Free – Kind to both pets and the planet.

For in-between washes, try a WildWash Waterless Pet Shampoo is a great way to freshen up your pet’s coat without a full bath.

3. Feed a Coat-Boosting Diet

Good nutrition plays a big role in keeping fur healthy and shiny. A diet rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids helps strengthen hair follicles and reduce shedding.

Fish oil and flaxseed – Promote a glossy coat and prevent dryness.

High-quality protein (chicken, salmon, or beef) – Supports strong, healthy hair growth.

Vitamins A and E – Maintain skin hydration and reduce flakiness.

If your pet’s coat looks dull or dry, consider supplementing their diet with healthy oils or a vet-approved skin and coat supplement.

4. Keep Your Pet Hydrated

Hydration is key to keeping your pet’s skin and fur in top condition. A dehydrated pet may develop dry, flaky skin, which can lead to itching and excessive shedding.

To encourage drinking:

Provide fresh water at all times in multiple locations.
Use a pet water fountain to make drinking more appealing.
Add moisture to your pet’s diet with wet food or broth.

5. Protect Against Fleas, Ticks, and Skin Irritations

Parasites and skin allergies can cause hair loss, itchiness, and dull fur. To keep your pet comfortable, use a natural flea and tick repellent like the WildWash Flea and Bug Repellent.

Why choose a natural repellent? Many conventional flea treatments contain harsh pesticides that can irritate your pet’s skin. WildWash’s formula is made with essential oils like peppermint and lavender to repel pests safely.

For pets with sensitive skin, regular baths with WildWash Sensitive Shampoo can help calm irritation and prevent flare-ups.
