Coconut oil is becoming increasingly popular in the beauty industry. Known for its nourishing benefits on hair and skin and of course… it’s delicious taste in foods. Some may say it's becoming quite the phenomenon in the human world. What about the dog world though? Pressed from the meat of a mature coconut and known to be high in saturated fat. This all natural ingredient is packed with added benefits that will make your dog go coco-nuts for more! Here are the top 5 reasons why you should use doggy shampoo products that contain coconut oil.
1. Promotes a healthy, shiny coat
Shiny hair days are just as important to your dog too! That’s where coconut oil comes in. High in lauric acid, a fatty acid known to effectively penetrate hair shafts, and encourage glossy hair. Coconut oil not only promotes smooth and shiny hair, it strengthens hair bonds. Meaning, your dog’s hair is less prone to damage. Your furry friends won’t know the meaning of a bad hair day with a coconut oil infused shampoo.
2. Adds moisture to the skin
Applying coconut oil to your pups skin will add moisture and help keep their skin hydrated – soothing dry and flaky skin as well as calming skin irritations. Also considered to have anti-inflammatory properties, coconut oil can help reduce inflammation in areas dogs are prone to scratch and bite. This is particularly important during the harsh winter season. Exactly why, Bugalugs have recently released the new Luxury 2 in 1 Shampoo & Conditioner. After all, Pampered pooches are happy pooches.
3. Coconut Oil soothes nasty wounds
Doggy walks are always great but sometimes our pups have a little too much fun and this can result in some nasty wounds. Don’t worry though! Coconut oil can help. Considered to have natural antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties, coconut oil is a great natural soother. As a result, coconut oil is often a key ingredient in dog shampoos. Helping to soothe and calm cracked paws and sores from seasonal allergies.
4. Naturally repel fleas and pests with coconut oil
