Protecting A Show Coat

[Bonduca]

My boy is about to take part in hydro therapy for what will be the best part of 6 weeks. My biggest concern for him is his coat being damaged by the chlorine.

Has anyone had their dog in Hydro therapy and if so is there any recommendation of products I may be able to use to protect his coat?

Cheers

I swim my show dogs in a chlorinated pool twice a week, and have done so for a long time.

I always make sure that I rinse them thoroughly in fresh water immediately after the swim.

I have never had a problem with their skin or coats. They have very nice coats.

You might also try rubbing a small ammount of conditioner through the coat after rinsing (Aloveen is good, you don't have to rinse it out).
