Small Pet Coat Care — Shine, Softness & Skin Comfort
Tackle dull, flaky or rough coats with gentle, species-aware care for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice and chinchillas. Curated by Canine & Co for South African homes, this collection focuses on low-dust habitats, proper grooming, and balanced nutrition—the real drivers of a healthy glow.
What you’ll find
- Grooming tools: Soft slickers, rubber curries, fine combs and gentle de-shedding aids.
- Waterless clean-up: Pet-safe wipes and dry shampoos for quick tidy-ups (no routine water baths).
- Dust-bath supplies (where suitable): Chinchilla/hamster bath sand and sturdy bath houses.
- Bedding & liners: Low-dust paper/aspen options and fleece liners for clean, comfy footing.
- Nutrition & supports: Premium grass hay (herbivores), species-specific pellets and Vitamin C for guinea pigs.
- Habitat care: Unscented, pet-safe cleaners and deodorisers to keep airways and skin happy.
Pick by pet
- Rabbits & Guinea Pigs: Weekly brushing (daily for moults/longhair). Unlimited grass hay + measured pellets; Vitamin C is essential for guinea pigs. Avoid routine water baths; spot-clean only.
- Hamsters: Provide a sand bath (species-safe, unscented) 2–4× weekly; soft brush for loose fur; no full water baths.
- Rats & Mice: Balanced lab blocks/pellets; improve ventilation; add soft hammocks to reduce rubs. Clean porphyrin staining gently with saline/wipes.
- Chinchillas: Dust bath 2–4× weekly (10–15 min); keep habitat cool and dry; use pumice/wood chews to reduce stress-related overgrooming.
Simple coat-friendly routine
- Brush briefly, often: 2–4 short sessions/week; detangle from the ends; never yank mats.
- Keep it low-dust: Paper/aspen bedding; shake linens outdoors; place hay in racks off the floor.
- Stay dry & clean: High-back loo with paper/plant-based pellets; spot-clean damp areas daily.
- Feed for shine: Fibre-first diets for herbivores; species-appropriate pellets; introduce new foods slowly.
- Hydration & rest: Fresh water at all times; cozy, draft-free hides for quality sleep.
Home tweaks that help
- Fragrance-free zone: Avoid perfumed cleaners, aerosols and essential oils near habitats.
- Airflow & temperature: Bright, ventilated room out of direct sun/heaters; no drafts.
- Soft surfaces: Add fleece pads where pets rest to reduce friction on sensitive areas.
Safety notes
- No routine water baths for rabbits, guinea pigs or chinchillas—risk of chill and stress.
- Species-specific only: Avoid human shampoos/powders and dog/cat products unless vet-advised.
- Patch-test new wipes/topicals; stop if redness appears. Use round-tip scissors; never cut close to skin.
When to see an exotics vet
- Persistent dandruff, bald patches, sores, scabs or intense scratching.
- Oily coat, wet chin/drool (dental), sudden shedding, weight loss or lethargy.
- Eye/nasal discharge, noisy breathing or porphyrin staining that quickly returns.
