„The structure of a dog’s skin is largely comparable with the structure of a
human’s, and yet there are important differences. The dog’s skin contains practically no sweat glands, which means that
dogs cannot sweat, but regulate their
heat balance through “heckles”. Additional sweat glands are restricted to the
paws. These primarily serve the purpose
of territory marking.”

The hair and coat structure in dogs
A dog’s coat basically consists of a topcoat and an undercoat (downy hair). The thicker and coarser topcoat protects against dirt and moisture, while the downy hair mainly
serves to regulate heat. The particular characteristics differ
greatly depending on the breed.
We can divide our dogs into 3 main groups, with each exhibiting its own peculiarities and special requirements:
Short hair has a very short lifespan of ca. 6 - 12
weeks, sheds and is replaced with new hair .
Eg. Boxers, Viszlas, Dobermans

of the skin layers in a
dog, with sebaceous
glands, vessels, nerves
and hair follicles.
Besides the lack of sweat glands, one other significant
difference as compared to human skin lies in the pHvalue. Different mammals also have different pH-values
(cp. fig. 2).
The average pH-value of a dog’s skin ist 7.5, which is in

Particularly thick undercoat beneath the top hair.
In spring and autumn, these animals go through
a coat-shedding period lasting several weeks. Eg.

¤¤ Different dog breeds need Unité Formant Colonie (UFC)
Skin and coat care for dogs is considerably more specialised than you may think. The anatomical differences
between individual dog breeds are significant - and the
same diversity applies to skin
and coats. For example, if
you were to compare a Newfoundlander with a Chihuahua, the differences soon
become apparent.
The Newfoundlander: large
with a relatively thick skin,
a long topcoat and a dense
undercoat. The Chihuahua: small with
rather thin and sensitive skin, as well as
a fine topcoat and almost no undercoat.

winter (ice, road salt) and in summer (gravel, asphalt).
The consequences are dry, brittle and cracked pads.
With appropriate and regular care, this can be avoided
and the paws kept healthy and smooth.
