Dog Bathing & Skin Care: Simple Habits That Make a Big Difference
A good bath isn’t just about making your dog smell nice. Regular, gentle cleaning supports the skin barrier, helps control odor, and keeps the coat healthier over time. The key is using the right products and not over- or under-doing it. Why Bathing Matters Dogs’ skin is different from ours — it’s thinner and has a different pH. Using human shampoo or bathing too often with harsh products can strip natural oils and lead to dryness or irritation. On the other hand, going too long between baths can allow dirt, allergens, and odor to build up. Most healthy dogs do well with a bath every 3–6 weeks, depending on coat type, lifestyle, and how quickly they get dirty. Dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors or have denser coats may need it a bit more often. What We Look for in a Shampoo We prefer shampoos that clean effectively without being overly stripping. Two lines we carry that work well for regular use: Skout’s Honor – Includes probiotics that support the skin’s natural balance while cleaning. Kin + Kind – Plant-based formulas that are gentle and available in a range of scents and purposes. Both are designed to be safer for frequent or regular use compared to many traditional shampoos. Don’t Forget the Tools Bathing is only part of skin and coat care. Regular brushing does a lot of the heavy lifting between baths: Removes loose hair and dander Distributes natural oils Prevents mats that can irritate the skin Gives you a chance to check for hot spots, dryness, or parasites We carry a range of brushes and combs suited to different coat types — from slicker brushes and undercoat rakes to gentler options for sensitive skin. Simple Extras That Help A good paw and nose balm can be useful in dry weather or for dogs that lick their paws a lot. We keep Dog Health balms on hand for exactly that kind of everyday maintenance. Quick Everyday Routine Tips Brush before bathing so the shampoo can reach the skin more easily Use lukewarm water Rinse thoroughly — leftover shampoo is a common cause of irritation Dry completely, especially in skin folds or dense coats Follow up with a light brush once dry Healthy skin starts with consistent, gentle care rather than waiting until there’s a problem. If you’re not sure which shampoo or brush is the best fit for your dog’s coat and skin type, just ask — we’re happy to help you choose.

Why Chewing Is So Good for Dogs (and Why We Skip Rawhide)
Dogs are hardwired to chew. It’s how they explore the world, relieve stress, keep their jaws strong, and clean their teeth. Giving them appropriate things to chew isn’t just a treat — it’s an important part of their physical and mental health. Real Benefits of Chewing Dental health – Chewing helps scrape away soft plaque and massages the gums. Regular chewing can support fresher breath and healthier teeth between brushings. Mental stimulation – A good chew keeps a dog occupied and reduces boredom. This is especially helpful for dogs that get restless when left alone or during quiet times at home. Jaw and muscle exercise – Chewing works the muscles of the jaw and neck in a natural way. Stress and anxiety relief – Many dogs calm down when they have something appropriate to gnaw on. It can be a healthy outlet for nervous energy. Satisfies a natural instinct – Denying the need to chew often leads to dogs finding their own (usually inappropriate) targets — shoes, furniture, or remote controls. Why We Don’t Carry Rawhide Rawhide is popular and inexpensive, but we choose not to stock it for two main reasons: Choking and blockage risk – When a dog chews rawhide, pieces can break off and be swallowed whole. These pieces don’t break down well in the stomach and can cause choking or intestinal blockages that sometimes require veterinary intervention. Poor digestibility – Even if a dog manages to chew it thoroughly, rawhide is very slow to digest (or may not fully digest at all). Because of these risks, we prefer chews that are designed to be safely broken down if swallowed. What We Recommend Instead We carry digestible chewing options that still give dogs the benefits of chewing without the same level of risk: Collagen chews – These are highly digestible, long-lasting enough to be satisfying, and generally easier on the stomach. Bully sticks (and similar single-ingredient chews) – These are digestible when chewed properly and provide a long-lasting activity. We recommend choosing the right size for your dog and always supervising chew time. As with any chew, the basics still apply: Match the size and toughness to your dog’s chewing style and weight. Supervise, especially with a new type of chew. Take it away once it becomes small enough to swallow whole. Provide fresh water and watch for any digestive upset when introducing something new. Chewing is one of the simplest ways to support your dog’s dental health, mental well-being, and natural instincts. When you choose safer, digestible options, you get the benefits with fewer of the worries. Stop by if you’d like help picking the right chew for your dog’s size and chewing style — we’re happy to point you toward the options we trust.
Kidney Support for Aging Pets: Why It Matters More Than Most Owners Realize
Most pet owners watch for the obvious signs of aging — slower walks, graying muzzles, a little more stiffness. What often gets less attention is kidney health. Kidneys filter waste, help regulate hydration, and support overall vitality. As pets age (especially after about age 7), these organs can benefit from extra support. Early changes are often quiet. Many dogs and cats show only subtle shifts at first: slightly reduced appetite, less energy, a duller coat, or changes in drinking and urination habits. Supporting the kidneys doesn’t replace veterinary care, but it can be a practical part of helping senior pets feel their best. A Targeted Option We Carry: AminAvast AminAvast is a patented kidney-support supplement made from a specific blend of naturally occurring amino acids and a peptide (AB070597). It was developed to help maintain normal kidney function and support the health of aging kidneys in both cats and dogs. Key points that stand out: Designed for pets 7 years and older, or younger pets that need extra renal support Complements all diets, including protein-restricted ones Available in easy-to-use forms: – 300 mg capsules for cats and small dogs – 1000 mg capsules for larger dogs – Chews for pets that prefer them Capsules can be opened and sprinkled on food No reported side effects or drug interactions in the available information Owners and veterinarians have noted improvements in appetite, coat quality, energy, and overall comfort in some pets It is not a treatment for diagnosed kidney disease — that requires veterinary guidance — but it is a straightforward daily support option for aging pets. Why We’re Highlighting It Now We believe in carrying products that solve real problems we see with local dogs and cats. Kidney support is one of those quiet needs that becomes more important every year. If your dog or cat is getting older, or if your veterinarian has mentioned kidney values or the benefits of renal support, stop by and take a look. We’re glad to help you decide whether it’s a good fit. As always, talk with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement, especially if your pet has an existing health condition or is on medication.
