A beautiful coat of fur is not just something to take pride in.
The health of your petโs skin and coat can reflect their
overall wellness too. Clear skin and a thick and shining coat
reflect a healthy diet rich in necessary protein, fat and
vitamins. Minimal shedding and a clean odor and appearance also
indicate no bacteria or pests that can cause health problems.
Stay vigilant because skin disorders are the most common health
problems that dogs and cats face. Luckily, most of them are
preventable. PetCareRx is your headquarters for healthy skin &
coat pet products. We have solutions for the hairiest of
problems.
