Want the Ultimate Shiny, Short Haired Dog Coat?

Having a shiny coat on your dog reflects your love and care for them and also your dog's good health. As with any animal, the health of your dog's coat is certainly related to their nutrition. This being said, regular grooming is also necessary to keep your dog looking its best. This is true no matter what type of hair your dog has.

From regular brushing to shampooing to ensuring the coat is hydrated, having the best in dog coat products can make the difference between a coat that's dull and one that shines with pride.

Brushing a short haired dog coat
Long haired dogs aren't the only breeds that need regular love, care, and attention paid to their coat. Short haired dogs also require systematic brushing and skincare. These breeds, such as Weimaraners, Bulldogs and Rottweilers for example, don't have hair that mats and tangles, but brushing certainly has just as many benefits.

2 great options for brushes for short coated breeds are the Ultimate Pure Boar Bristle Brush or the Ultimate Pin Regular Brush.

The Plush Puppy Ultimate Pure Boar Bristle Brush is perfect for use on shorter coated breeds for a smoothing and polishing brushed finish. The 100% pure black boar bristle are the softest and gentlest on coats, leaving the coat with a wonderful finish and shine.

The Plush Puppy Ultimate Pin Regular Brush is a brush ideal for all breed grooming. This brush is a great all-rounder and perfect when blow-drying. This is your go-to pin brush when you want the best results and is perfect for maintenance brushing.

Brushing is great for helping to distribute your dog's natural oils evenly throughout their coat and along each shaft of hair. Regular grooming also dislodges dead skin, and it can successfully decrease the loose hair and dander from your dog that floats around your home.

In addition, a side benefit to brushing your dog is that it gives you the chance to check them over. It's always a good idea to check in places that you may not necessarily see easily such as the underneath for any irritations, dry skin, dirt build-up, burrs in the coat or the dreaded signs of fleas or ticks.

Eliminating these common contaminants is a wise first step towards a beautiful coat on your dog. This type of care can help keep your dog healthy over the long term and prevent infections on their skin that could cause trouble.

Shampooing and caring for a short haired dog coat
Shampooing your dog regularly with a high-quality product can enhance their coat's shine and bring out their best. Plush Puppy Natural All Purpose Shampoo with Henna is an ideal product to use on dogs with short hair that have normal to slightly dehydrated coat types. It is also brilliant on coats that want to retain texture without softening the coat. As a leading Australian dog shampoo, this is a very popular choice suitable for many breeds but is particularly brilliant on short and smooth coats for ultra shine.

Infused with wonderful natural ingredients like lemon balm, rosemary, thyme, yarrow, and marshmallow root extract, this product is a true winner! Simply wet your dog's coat and apply this top-rated shampoo, massaging it into a generous lather. Once done, rinse completely. Your dog will look and smell like they've come straight from the groomer's!

What about adding extra shine after the bath is done? Let Plush Puppy Seabreeze Oil come to the rescue. This dazzling hydrating oil helps to hydrate while adding shine and depth to the coat colour. As a leave-in product, you simply dilute a small amount into lots of water then pour it directly over the coat after rinsing out your shampoo, and leave it in to work its magic. You can use this moisturising oil in place of a regular dog conditioner, or as a lighter alternative to regular oiling. As a non-greasy formula, Seabreeze Oil lets your dog's coat shine to its fullest and is perfect for dogs with dander issues.

Blow drying is great for a short haired dog coat
You may not have thought, but short coated breeds can highly benefit from blow drying the coat. Ensure you always use the COOL setting on your dryer. Blow drying will blast all the dead hair out which helps to roll the coat and keeps it regenerating without the holes one associates with coat shedding. Depending on the breed they will still shed, but it will be an even look, rather than a dreadful moth-eaten looking coat.

An amazing product that not only speeds up drying time but protects the coat is Plush Puppy FAST Blow Dry Spray. FAST is amazing on short coats for a brilliant shine. It dramatically reduces drying time, adds moisture and conditions while protecting the coat. It contains Australian Native Flame Tree extracts that hydrate while giving a beautiful sheen. A light spray to a wet or damp coat, then brush through before drying.
