The healthy and natural care of dogs as well as its species-appropriate husbandry are our central topics in this area of the Naturavetal® dog guide. A strong immune system protects against diseases and makes it harder for bacteria, viruses, and endo- and ectoparasites to harm the animal. How do you sustainably support your dog’s defenses with purely natural methods? Read here in our guide to keeping and caring for dogs.
We also deal with very specific everyday life problems and show you how to get rid of particularly annoying bloodsuckers. In this case, we are talking about ticks, which can transmit dangerous diseases to both dogs and humans. We advise thoroughly scanning your dog’s coat for the parasites after each visit to the countryside and removing them with a tick card or pliers.
Healthy teeth and shiny coats
If the coat looks good, this indicates that the dog is doing well. In contrast, shaggy, dull and lackluster fur indicates that the animal is lacking important nutrients. A species-appropriate and balanced diet has a direct influence on the appearance of the dog. In addition, you can support your four-legged friend following an illness, pregnancy or when moulting with an extra portion of nutrients. This is found in our guide to dog keeping and caring. Natural dog care also includes paying special attention to the teeth. In our articles on dental hygiene, we introduce the advantages of natural chews, which can gently prevent tartar and support puppies when teething.
