Dog Itching his skin

As pet parents, we know how heartbreaking it is to see our pets constantly scratching, itching, or dealing with dry, irritated skin. You try product after product, hoping to find something that actually  works—but nothing seems to bring real, lasting relief.

What if we told you there’s a natural, time-tested remedy that’s been around for centuries? One that not only soothes your pet’s skin but also supports a healthier coat and overall well-being. Enter: Ayurvedic oil massage.

Yes, this ancient Indian practice isn’t just for humans. Dogs and cats can benefit just as much from the healing power of traditional Ayurvedic oils. At Maw & Paw, we’ve modernized this age-old ritual into India’s first FDA-certified Ayurvedic Skin & Coat Massage Oil for Pets.

Backed by centuries of Ayurvedic wisdom, our oil is designed to calm irritated skin, reduce shedding, and restore your pet’s natural shine—all with ingredients you can trust.

Let’s take a closer look at how this simple ritual can make a big difference in your pet’s life.

1. Why Is Your Pet Itching So Much?

Before we dive into the benefits of oil massage, let’s understand the problem. Many dogs and cats suffer from skin issues due to dry weather, allergies, poor diet, or harsh grooming products. Common signs include:

  • Constant scratching or licking
  • Dry, flaky skin
  • Redness or irritation
  • Excessive shedding
  • Dull, lifeless coat
  • Skin infections, rashes and dermatitis

If any of this sounds familiar, your pet’s skin barrier might need some extra love—and that’s where Ayurvedic oil massage comes in.

2. Why Dogs & Cats Need Oil Massage: More Than Just Pampering

Oil massage isn't just a feel-good ritual—it has powerful therapeutic benefits for pets. When applied regularly, warm oil relaxes your pet’s muscles, reduces anxiety, and improves blood circulation.

Massaging also helps stimulate natural oil production, which is essential for maintaining a soft, shiny, and healthy coat. Dogs and cats that suffer from itching, stress, or restlessness often become noticeably calmer after a gentle, warm oil massage.

For pets that get anxious during grooming or don’t enjoy baths, massage time becomes a soothing bonding activity between you and your furry baby.

3. Skin and Coat Issues That Oil Massage Can Help Solve

Skin and coat issues can affect your dog’s comfort, mood, and overall health and wellbeing. Regularly massaging your dog or cat with an ayurvedic massage oil helps:

  • Lock in moisture to prevent dryness and flakiness making the coat soft and nourished.
  • Soothe irritated, itchy pet skin
  • Reduce shedding and promote a healthy, shiny coat
  • Enables healing from rashes or mild infections

4. How to Give Your Dog an Ayurvedic Oil Massage at Home

Giving your dog an oil massage is simple here’s how to do it:

  1. Pick a calm time: After meals or walks when your dog is relaxed.
  2. Warm the oil slightly: Lukewarm oil feels comforting and absorbs better.
  3. Apply gently: Use your fingers to massage the oil into the skin in slow, circular motions.
  4. Focus on problem areas: Pay attention to dry patches, elbows, paws, and belly.
  5. Let it soak: Leave it on for 30–45 minutes for full absorption.
  6. Rinse or wipe if needed: You can towel off excess oil or give a bath with a mild, chemical-free shampoo after a few hours.

    A weekly massage is ideal, and you’ll start noticing improvements in your dog’s coat and comfort level within 2-3weeks.
