Large dogs live life at full scale. Bigger strides, heavier impacts, faster growth, and more weight carried through every movement. While their size is often what we love most about them, it also means their bodies experience wear and tear differently than smaller dogs. One important fact many owners don’t realize is that large-breed dogs tend to age faster on a physical level. Their bones grow quickly, their joints carry more load, and their muscles work harder to support ev

Because of this, moisture, wax, and debris can get trapped more easily. Breeds with floppy ears or long hair arou

Undercoats are one of the most important and often overlooked parts of a dog’s coat. They sit beneath the top layer and play a major role in temperature regulation, skin protection, and overall comfort. When undercoats are not properly maintained, small issues can quietly turn into bigger problems. A neglected undercoat traps loose fur, dirt, and moisture close to the skin.

For bigger dogs, the size of the tub is not a luxury or an upgrade. It is part of their health, comfort, and safety. Large dogs already carry more weight through their joints.
