How can I make my dog’s fur thicker and coarser?
A dog's coat quality is determined by genetics, nutrition, and other factors, so it is hard to change completely. If the coat is too fine and soft, the owner can appropriately feed the dog foods such as egg yolk, salmon oil, chicken breast, and fruits and vegetables to supplement protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins, thereby improving skin and coat quality. Second, brush and bathe the dog regularly, but don't bathe too often, and don't use human shampoo or body wash. Finally, take the dog out for sunlight and exercise regularly to promote metabolism and strengthen its constitution and coat health.
