Skin plays a major role in pet’s lives. It protects against aggressions, regulates body temperature, retains moisture in, releases pheromones involved in territorial marking, social and sexual communication. The skin barrier is also essential to protect the body from bacteria, yeasts, allergens and all other bad guys out there. The balance of the skin ecosystem is fragile and deserves your care and protection. Whatever the colour or the thickness of their fur, all the pets can be affected by a skin problem when their skin is weakened by offenders. This blog aims to help you better understand and protect your pet’s skin, fur and ears.
