When care is more than just brushing

Grooming is far more than just cosmetics for dogs. It's an expression of care, affection, and trust. Every brush, every massage, every drop of grooming spray not only strengthens the skin and coat, but also the bond between you and your dog . Because every animal has its own unique needs, always depending on the coat type, season, and activity level.

While short-haired dogs often tend to have dry skin , long-haired breeds are more likely to struggle with matting or a dull shine . In addition, external influences such as cold, heating air, or frequent brushing can put additional strain on the skin.

Especially in autumn and winter , when the coat becomes thicker and the air is drier, minor problems become particularly apparent. These include itching, dandruff, dull hair, or irritated skin . This is where the right care comes in: gentle, natural, and individually tailored to your dog.

In this article, we explain how you can maintain the natural balance of skin and coat with our emmi-pet care products – with moisture, care, and soothing ingredients such as repair and coconut, which pamper both skin and senses.

Different coat types – different needs

Before you reach for a grooming lotion or spray, it's worth taking a close look at your dog's coat type . Every hair has its own texture, every skin has its own needs, and proper care is the key to a healthy, shiny coat.

Short-haired dogs
Short fur lies close to the skin and offers less protection from cold or dry air from heating. Many of these dogs are prone to dry, flaky skin or mild itching during the winter months. Moisturizing products that soothe and replenish fat without weighing them down are ideal.
We recommend the 2-in-1 Natural Moisture Dog Shampoo or the 2.0 Skin Care Set , which uses a gentle ultrasound effect to transport the nourishing ingredients deep into the tissue, thus ensuring noticeably more suppleness.

Long-haired dogs
Long fur requires patience and proper care. Matting, dull shine, and knots develop, especially when the coat is frequently exposed to moisture or isn't adequately cared for after walks. Nourishing oils like coconut or argan oil add shine and lightness without weighing the hair down.
The Coconut Coat Care Spray from emmi-pet is perfect for this: It has a pleasantly natural scent, makes brushing easier, and gives the coat a silky sheen—ideal for daily freshening up.

Double-coated breeds
Breeds with a dense undercoat, such as retrievers, huskies, or German shepherds, require special care. During shedding, loose hair, sebum, and dust quickly accumulate in the dense undercoat and can cause skin irritation or itching .
Regular cleaning with our mild emmi-pet Repair Shampoo and subsequent care keep skin and coat in balance, promote blood circulation and support the natural protective function.

This turns grooming into much more than just a routine. It becomes a loving ritual that strengthens your dog's body, skin, and soul.

Typical skin and coat problems – and what really helps

The skin is your dog's largest organ and a sensitive mirror of their health. If it becomes unbalanced, it quickly becomes apparent in their coat: It loses its shine, begins to itch, or appears dull and brittle. With the right care, you can gently counteract these signs and permanently improve your dog's well-being.

Dry skin and dandruff
Many dogs suffer from dry skin, especially in winter. Warm air from heating, frequent temperature changes, and insufficient humidity deprive it of valuable moisture. Our moisturizing spray with aloe vera helps restore the skin's natural protective film.
Our emmi-pet Skin Care Set 2.0 further enhances this effect: Thanks to ultrasound technology, the nourishing active ingredients are transported deep into the skin, where they bind moisture and gently support cell renewal.

Itching and irritated areas
If your dog is scratching or licking certain areas more often, it's often due to dry or over-cared skin . Our emmi-pet 2-in-1 Repair Dog Shampoo soothes irritated skin, moisturizes, and promotes regeneration. Combined with the 2.0 Skin Care Set, the effect is intensified, as the fine micro-vibrations stimulate circulation and noticeably relax the skin.

Dull or shaggy coat
A dull coat can be due to impaired sebum production or unbalanced grooming. In this case, natural oils can help, nourishing the coat without weighing it down. Our emmi-pet Coconut or Natural Coat Care Shampoo nourishes skin and hair, provides a silky shine, and leaves no greasy residue. Just a few drops are enough to restore natural softness.

Tangles and knots
Regular grooming is especially crucial for long-haired breeds to prevent painful matting. Our Anti-Tangle Grooming Spray makes combing easier while also providing intensive care. Coconut oil and panthenol strengthen the hair structure from within and give the coat elasticity. This makes brushing a pleasant ritual for you and your dog.

The heart of the product: the emmi-pet skin care set 2.0

Our emmi-pet Skin Care Set 2.0 is far more than a skincare product. It's a care system at the cellular level . With up to 96 million ultrasonic vibrations per minute, it works gently and deeply, without pressure or friction.

Ultrasound has a soothing effect on the skin , activates cell regeneration , and promotes the absorption of care ingredients . This ensures that nutrients and moisture reach exactly where they are needed.

The ideal application is:

  • for dry, flaky or irritated skin
  • to support minor skin irritations or insect bites
  • after bathing to strengthen the skin barrier
  • in winter to prevent tension and dehydration

A few minutes of daily application is enough to soothe the skin in the long term and visibly improve the coat.

Natural care that works – moisture, repair, coconut

All emmi-pet coat care products are based on natural ingredients and are free of silicones, parabens, and aggressive surfactants.

  • Moisture:
    Provides intensive care, ideal for dry, sensitive, or older dogs. Contains aloe vera and plant-based oils to soothe the skin.
  • Repair:
    Cares for, regenerates, and protects stressed skin. Especially helpful for itching, mild redness, or dull coat.
  • Coconut:
    Provides shine, softness, and a natural protective film. The scent is pleasantly mild and is well tolerated even by sensitive dogs.

These variations can also be combined perfectly, depending on the weather, activity, or coat condition of your dog.

Application tips for gentle care with effect

Grooming shouldn't become a chore for your dog, but rather a moment of closeness and relaxation. With a few simple steps, the routine becomes a soothing ritual that's good for their coat, skin, and soul.

  • Start with calm: Choose a time when your dog is relaxed—after a walk or in the evening when he's winding down. This way, he'll associate grooming with comfort.
  • Less is more: A spray or a drop of oil is usually sufficient. Too much product can weigh down the coat or leave residue.
  • Massage gently: Take the opportunity to indulge in a little massage. It stimulates circulation, relaxes muscles, and strengthens the bond between you.
  • Regularity counts: Two to three applications per week are enough to achieve visible results – what matters is consistency, not duration.
  • After brushing: Grooming products work best when the coat is clean and untangled. This allows for optimal absorption of the valuable ingredients.

Tip: If desired, combine the Skin Care Set 2.0 with the matching Coat Care Spray. This way, you can care for the skin from the inside and out, with noticeable results and soothing lightness.

Because care becomes a connection

Grooming is far more than just a routine. It's a silent dialogue between you and your dog . Every gentle touch shows your dog that you're there, that you care, and builds trust on a level that doesn't require words. The gentle ultrasonic vibrations of the Skin Care Set 2.0 , in particular, have an almost meditative effect : Many dogs visibly relax, breathe more calmly, lie down, and fully enjoy this moment.

Regular grooming not only gives your dog shine and softness , but also brings peace and balance to your daily life. Dogs who are sensitive to cold, dry air, or stress especially benefit from this little daily break – a ritual that benefits both body and soul.
