The Dog Bowl Pet Supply and BARF Raw Food Blog

Summer is here, and so are the critters! Mosquitoes, ticks and other pesky insects are in their prime time, and they may be lurking in your pet’s bed or they even may be nestled in Fido’s fur!

In addition to purchasing a washable bed to cut down on dander, mites and fleas, there are many steps you can take to avoid the summer “itch”, and The Dog Bowl has the tools to help!

Itchy coat may be caused by a number of things, poor diet, bug bites (fleas, ticks, you name it), or dry skin. Switching your pet to the raw food diet will actually improve the quality of their coat, and your pet will also not smell as strongly as it used to. The decrease in odor helps cut down on the number of potential bugs that are attracted, and a healthy coat eliminates the possibility of dry, itchy skin.

Dry skin can also be attributed to the kind of grooming tools you use. Certain shampoos contain alcohol and other skin irritants that only make your pet itchier and drier! The Dog Bowl offers several options when it comes to all natural, chemical free non-irritant containing shampoos and grooming aids that will leave your pet’s coat shiny, sleek and very healthy. The Dog Bowl also carries several special non-itch formulas that add extra protection and moisture to your pet’s coat.

In addition to specialty shampoos, The Dog Bowl offers several sprays that are applied directly to your pet’s coat to ward off insects and keep their coat feeling fresh.

All of these products are available for online purchase, so hop on board and help your pet have a healthy, itch free coat! You may also want to read our summer safety guidelines for pets, to ensure optimal safety and health for your pet!
