For many people, spending time in the great outdoors, being close to their dog with cuddles or cosy evenings on the sofa is a reason to become a dog person. We love the dog's soft fur and warmth. Cleanliness is not only important for us humans, but also for the dog, because a healthy appearance with a pleasant body odour is a sign of health and vitality.
There are various ways in which you can promote the care of paws, skin & fur. Natural dog care doesn't just mean that you pamper your dog externally with natural care products - it also means that you provide your dog with nutrients internally as part of its diet to ensure supple skin, a shiny coat and strong claws.
Natural supplements for the care of paws, skin & fur
Canis Extra Brewer's Yeast
Canis Extra Brewer's Yeast can make a valuable contribution to healthy skin and a shiny coat thanks to the large number of B vitamins, minerals and trace elements and is therefore not only essential for BARF, but for anyone who wants to support their pet's diet, e.g. during moulting or in the event of nutrient deficiency.
Canis Extra Organic Hemp Oil
Support the dog with itching
Every dog scratches - this behaviour is normal as long as it does not occur in excess. If you notice that your dog is scratching more often and fleas or other parasites have been ruled out as the cause, it may be that a nutritional deficiency or an allergy or intolerance is the reason for the dog's behaviour. Our Canis Extra Organic Hemp Oil can help in these cases. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and is characterised by a good ratio of omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. It therefore promotes healthy skin and can be fed to dogs with dry, flaky and itchy skin, contributing to a healthy complexion and shiny coat.
For a particularly shiny coat, there is Canis Extra Salmon Oil and Canis Extra 3-6-9 Fish and Hemp Barf Oil – they contain essential omega 3 and -6 fatty acids which when fed can support healthy, shiny coats, healthy skin and strong claws. The supplement has also proven effective for dry skin with dandruff.
Canis Extra Organic Coconut Oil, fed alternately with our oils, can also promote shine and suppleness of the coat and skin. If dry, flaky patches form during the moulting period, they can be rubbed externally with Canis Extra Organic Coconut Oil so that the dandruff comes off more easily and causes less itching. Massaged thinly into the coat externally, it even helps to repel parasites, even on the animal's face. If you would like to find out more, take a look at our Guide article "Natural help against ticks".
During phases of increased need, for example after a prolonged illness, for pregnant, young or old animals or to prepare for the change of coat, there is Canis Extra Aktiv - the unique composition of seaweed, fennel, dandelion and nettle, among other things, provides the organism with important vitamins, minerals and trace elements and thus supports the metabolism in the best way possible.
To support your four-legged companion as much as possible during moulting, a six to eight-week course of Canis Extra Aktiv has proven to be a good idea for about two months before the start of the change of coat, i.e. in November/December and July/August.
Canis Extra Petflora
Metabolism
Roughly speaking, the term metabolism refers to the entirety of all biochemical processes in living organisms or cells. The cell absorbs nutrients and metabolises them by breaking down the nutrients or converting them and forming new substances from them, which the organism needs, for example, as a source of energy or for the formation of new skin cells or fur. Metabolic problems can therefore have very different and far-reaching consequences for the entire organism. If the intestinal mucosa has been irritated by antibiotics or chemical worming treatments, it should be brought back into balance with Canis Extra Petflora. Because only an intact intestinal flora can fully absorb the nutrients that good food provides. That's why you always have to think about the "inside" when it comes to coat problems.
Natural care products for dog grooming

After all, protecting and caring for your pet should not be left to chance, but to choosing the right products. We have always orientated ourselves towards nature.
Canis Extra Care Shampoo
Natural coat care & prevention of fur problems such as dandruff, matting and vermin
If your dog has splashed around in a pond outside, it may be necessary to wash it, so that it can sit on the sofa again afterwards.
