Summer Coat Care: How to Keep Your Dog’s Coat Healthy and Hydrated in Hot Weather

Summer Coat Care: How to Keep Your Dog’s Coat Healthy and Hydrated in Hot Weather

When the weather heats up, your dog’s coat routine needs a seasonal refresh. While summer brings sunshine, outdoor adventures, and splash time, it also introduces challenges like dry skin, coat damage, and increased shedding. At Cindra, we believe every dog deserves to look and feel their best—season after season. Here's how to keep your dog's coat healthy, hydrated, and summer-ready using the right grooming techniques and products.


☀️ Why Summer Grooming Matters

Hot temperatures, sun exposure, and increased activity can wreak havoc on your dog’s coat and skin. You might notice:

  • Dry or brittle hair from UV exposure

  • Increased shedding as double-coated breeds “blow coat”

  • Matting due to moisture from swimming or sweat

  • Dull coat appearance due to lack of hydration and poor product choices

That’s why a proactive grooming routine is essential—not just for appearance, but for your dog’s overall comfort and health.


🧴 Top Summer Grooming Tips for Healthy Coats

1. Brush More Often

Frequent brushing helps remove loose fur, distribute natural oils, and prevent tangles—especially critical during seasonal sheds.

Pro tip: Use a deshedding tool or undercoat rake for double-coated breeds like Malinois, Border Collies, and Huskies.

2. Bathe Smarter, Not More

Overbathing with harsh shampoos can strip natural oils, leading to dry, flaky skin. Instead, choose a gentle, breed-appropriate formula like:

These formulas are USA-made, professional-grade, and designed for regular use.

3. Hydrate From the Outside

Just like you use a leave-in conditioner or hair mist in summer, dogs benefit from external hydration too.

Try this:
💧  Cindra Maxi Care Coat Conditioner in a spray bottle (ready to use! ) and mist it onto the coat daily or after swims. It adds hydration, softness, and shine—without any heavy build-up.

4. Keep Them Cool

In addition to grooming, temperature regulation is key. Use lightweight cooling coats, keep water available, and avoid grooming outdoors in peak heat.
