can this be used on a dog if they don't have dry or itchy skin to keep the coat in good condition and help prevent mats?

We do use this on our dogs dry coat to keep it soft. Works wonderfully. You probably wouldn't have to apply it daily.

I would say you could definitely do it. My dog had extremely dry irritated skin. I would apply every night with my bare hands ,. Her skin cleared up greatly & it never harmed my hands. I hope this is helpful.

Absolutely, it is just like a conditioner for the coat as well it makes it soft, shiny amd manageable. A little bit goes a long way. You can use as a leave in or rinse out. Your dog will love it, And so will you!!

Absolutely! This leave in moisturizer helps keep the coat in great condition year round. It can definitely prevent mats from occurring.

It depends on your dog. My breed is supposed to have a somewhat harsh, stand off coat, so I do not use conditioner on it. I have not had any problems with this shampoo drying out either his coat or his skin.

Absolutely! I actually only use it on my dog when she is dry and it gets out tons of fur. I have a lab mix and it seems to get out different parts of her coat than the furminator does...its fabulous and she loves the way it feels! Make sure you use it outside though...because the hair goes flying!

~I know its good for skin and coat in general. Essential Fatty Oils will over some months bring health to the skin. So your dog should feel more comfortable with less dry skin, and healthier coat. This is a good product, very large amount & will last a long time. Its important for dogs, cats, and humans to have Essential Fatty Oils in their diet anyway. XO I also give my dog Coconut Oil (extra virgin)... I give my dog coconut oil, a spoonful daily on food, and I also rub it on her skin. If your dog as problem areas of skin, or dry areas, or rashes, the coconut oil will soothe it. Very healthy for them to take BOTH these oils daily. I give them to my cats too !

Yes, it's so soft it won't hurt your dogs skin. I use these frequently dry and our dogs love them. Just be careful they don't end up as toys! But again, just fine to use dry. If your dog has a heavy undercoat however like say an Akita these wouldn't be strong enough tp pull it out and you will still need a rake or serrated grooming tool. But that aside these work quite well at getting loose and sheddin fur out. Hope this helps!

If the dog doesnt dig or claw much and you have a pillowcase over it that he cant get the mat out of, it prob be okay...but if he can get it out of the case or chews, I would not recommend..the gel may be poisonous...

One of my dogs has skin allergies, so I like to use conditioner to give him extra help for his skin. I suggest you try just using the shampoo. If you feel like your pet needs extra help after doing so, then purchase the conditioner.

I would use a gentle soap/shampoo on a dog. This would dry out skin and not to be used on certain parts of the body

I don't think so. We have an anxious dog and he still is anxious in the coat. We do really like the coat though for keeping him warm. He will leave it on too.

This works best on dogs that have a double coat. It was designed to remove shedding undercoat and is great for that. So it really depends on what your dog's coat is like. Poodles have wiry outer coat and a dense cottony under coat, so this would probably work.

The Chilly Mat works by the gel creating a lower temperature than your dog's body temperature, making it feel cool to them. It can also be placed in the refrigerator or freezer for a short time before your dog is going to use it. However, some dogs are sensitive to that much of a temperature change and may not like it super cold.

I cannot say for sure, but the ingredients are more mild without all of the common additives that would cause skin sensitivity issues. If the dog has long hair, I would probably not recommend it unless you have something else to help with detangling.

It won't cure a skin condition, but it helps a healthy dog maintain good skin and coat. I see slightly less fur balls around the house, but again it's not really an anti-shedding treatment either.

I only use this product to keep Cats and Dogs from scratching on objects. I think this is a question best suited to be answered by a Veterinarian. If a pet is insists on scratching a certain spot it may call for a cortisone cream that would heal the underlined problem and stop the irritation that is causing the irritation in the first place.

Don't know about warmth....................but it definately protects the pads, and keeps them smooth and soft........prevents dried and caloused paws, thereby eliminating cracks. I have an Akida who likes to walk. Pads were dry and cracked before I started using mushers wax. Helps when walking on salt covered sidewalks.

No , not at all , my dogs skin and fur are amazing I'd check a food allergy. Stop using it , then check. My dogs coats are flat out gorgeous. Also any topical tick and flea med can affect skin. Flea collars - other animals.......

I really can't answer that because I don't have a dog. However, I believe it could keep out fleas too. Probably best to call/write the manufacturer.
