How to improve your pet’s coat quality?
The coat is a universal indicator of the health of any pet. Coat quality matters not only to the four-legged animals themselves but also to their owners. After all, we all want our pets not only to look beautiful but also to be healthy.
In recent years, owners have been complaining more and more often about the quality of their pets’ coats. An animal’s coat consists of millions of individual hairs. Between 25 and 30% of the protein consumed with daily food goes into forming the coat.
Most often, the main problem in cats and dogs is hair loss and a decline in coat quality. This happens for several reasons:
1. Lack of nutrients;
2. Improper care;
3. Hormonal changes.
Lack of nutrients. When planning their pets’ diet, owners make the main mistakes that negatively affect the condition of the coat and skin. The coat’s appearance deteriorates due to a lack of nutrients. The AL KARAL Pets biological supplement contains a vitamin complex based on humic substances that influences digestion and the work of the intestinal microflora, which has a positive effect on the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food. AL KARAL Pets saturates pets’ bodies with beneficial amino acids and vitamins.
A lack of vitamins and minerals has a negative effect on shedding in pets. During shedding, the coat may fall out. Poor feeding, improper care and disrupted temperature conditions can extend the shedding period to as long as 6 months. Animals shed twice a year, in early spring and late autumn. With the AL KARAL Pets biological supplement, a pet’s seasonal shedding passes more quickly.
It is best to choose the right diet, as it affects your pets’ health. When nutrients are lacking, coat formation deteriorates. A pet must receive enough protein; otherwise, due to a lack of building material in the form of protein, its coat may become thin and brittle. The basis of a healthy coat is proper nutrition and proper care.
Improper care. Most often, the main problem behind deteriorating coat quality is improper care. Looking at cats, we assume they take good care of their own hygiene. Nevertheless, if hair gets into a pet’s stomach, it can cause an intestinal blockage (intestinal obstruction). Dogs also need constant care; without it, they develop mats (their coat gets tangled).
Comb your pet’s coat regularly; this procedure helps:
► improve blood circulation;
► minimize hair build-up in the stomach;
► prevent tangles from forming.
Hormonal changes. In animals, hormonal changes very often cause the coat to start falling out. Frequent use of hormonal drugs can disrupt the phases of the mating cycle, and as a result the coat starts to fall out.
Changes in hormonal balance in cats cause physical effects such as hair loss and skin scratching. Some hormones stimulate hair growth, while others slow it down. Thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism) usually leads to poor hair growth in dogs. The likelihood of hypothyroidism is the same in all dog breeds, and in most cases it occurs in dogs of either sex aged 6–10 years. Hypothyroidism causes severe deterioration of the skin and coat.
AL KARAL Pets is a product based on humic substances, which have the widest range of biological properties. Humic substances contain vitamin B12, which improves your pet’s hormonal balance.
AL KARAL Pets reduces the negative effects of antibiotics, prevents hormone deficiency and also improves coat quality.
To improve coat quality, it is advisable to add fatty acids (Omega-3, Omega-6) to the animal’s diet. AL KARAL Pets increases the absorption of these acids and also adds a vitamin complex to pets’ diets.
Using the AL KARAL Pets biological supplement not only improves the quality of your pet’s coat and reduces hair loss, but also makes the coat soft and shiny.
Caring for your pet with AL KARAL Pets:
► increases the absorption of amino acids;
► reduces the negative effects of antibiotics;
► boosts your animals’ immunity against infections and viruses.
