Skincare- a routine that has become embedded into manyconsumers’ daily routine, as they striveto replenish the skin’s natural glow.
There are a whole plethora of products on the market that cater to the needs of consumers, from cleansers to moisturisers, hydrating masks to supplements. They form a sizable market and projections suggest it will reach $130 billion by next year. Human or animal, the skin is the largest organ of the body and needs proper nourishment, hence why most of us are willing to go the extra mile for a flawless complexion.
Pets are no exception. After they’ve splashed in a muddy puddle or retrieved a ball for the umpteenth time, it makes sense to bathe them with a product that cares for their skin and conditions their coat.
13 million UK households keep pets according to a report conducted by the Pet Food Manufacturing Association. The figures reveal that Britain’s favourite remains the dog.
Pets, whether big or small, can be quite complicated to care for. Dogs, for example, have ninecommon causes of skin problems: fleas, mange, ringworm, food allergies, environmental allergies, bacterial skin infections, yeast infections, dandruff and autoimmune disorders.
This begs the question, why not invest in a skincare system for your pet?
