What should I do if my Shiba Inu has stiff hair?
What should I do if my Shiba Inu has hard hair? Feed the Shiba Inu some extra food that is good for the hair, such as egg yolks, salmon, carrots, etc., and regularly supplement the Shiba Inu with lecithin. Use dog toiletries to bathe the Shiba Inu regularly. Remember to comb the Shiba Inu before and after bathing, and blow dry immediately after bathing. Regularly perform external deworming for Shiba Inu dogs and pay attention to indoor hygiene.

1. Eat foods that are good for your hair

One of the reasons why Shiba Inu’s hair is not good is that the hair lacks nutrition and becomes dry and frizzy. If you want the Shiba Inu's hair to get better, you must take the right medicine and supplement the hair with nutrients. In addition to paying attention to a reasonable daily diet, you should also eat some foods that are good for hair, such as egg yolks, salmon, carrots, etc., and regularly supplement lecithin for Shiba Inu. When raising a Shiba Inu, owners should pay attention to the Shiba Inu's diet and arrange their diet reasonably.

2. Take a bath with appropriate toiletries

If the owner wants the hair of the Shiba Inu to get better, in addition to supplementing the nutrition of the Shiba Inu, he must also pay attention to the care of the hair and bathe the Shiba Inu frequently with appropriate toiletries. If the shower gel used by the Shiba Inu is inappropriate, it will cause great damage to the hair of the Shiba Inu, causing dryness or hair loss. In order to keep the hair of Shiba Inu good, the owner should choose a pet shampoo suitable for Shiba Inu to bathe the dog. Remember to comb your Shiba Inu’s hair before and after bathing to keep it smooth. After bathing, you should blow dry your hair thoroughly in time, otherwise it will also cause skin problems.

3. Pay attention to the health of your skin

Shiba Inu should not only deworm internally, but also pay attention to external deworming. If there are parasites on the surface of the Shiba Inu's skin or there are already skin diseases, it will affect the hair. In order for the hair of the Shiba Inu to improve, owners should pay attention to the skin health of the Shiba Inu. Regular external deworming work must be done, and you must pay attention to hygiene at home, and be careful not to go to damp and dark corners when you go out for a walk.
