When a four-legged friend appears in the house, responsible owners have many questions about caring for the pet. What kind of food and collar is suitable for a puppy? How to properly train the animal?
After all, a dog is a family member and needs daily care. Every owner wants their pet to be healthy and in a good mood.
Also, breeders are interested in how often it is necessary to bathe the animal and what shampoo to use. There are many different opinions on this matter.
Some veterinarians believe that bathing a dog can be done without restrictions, while others consider frequent washing with shampoo harmful. How to find a golden mean and what product should be used for water procedures?
Bathing dogs with shampoo should be done as needed. It is important that hygiene cosmetics are individually selected for the pet.
But there are cases when a shower is necessary for a pet, and there is no opportunity to use a special shampoo for bathing dogs.
Animals living in urban conditions rarely return from a walk completely dirty. But if it happened, and the breeder did not have time to purchase a special dog shampoo, you can use regular shampoo or shower gel.
You can also use baby shampoo, adding a few drops of burdock oil and glycerin. It is desirable for it to have a neutral scent. Nothing bad will happen from bathing with a pet once.
But for regular care, it is necessary to purchase a special shampoo for dogs.
Human skin and dog skin have different pH balances, human cosmetic products are not suitable for animals. They will dry out the skin and lead to itching and flaking.
In pet cosmetics, the pH is lowered, thanks to which the skin remains moisturized, and the fur is effectively cleaned.
It is better to prepare in advance for a dog's bathing day and visit a pet store. People never buy the first shampoo they come across. They take into account the degree of hair greasiness, structure, and color.
In order to correctly choose a shampoo for a four-legged friend, you need to take into account its characteristics, breed, fur density, and length. Pay attention to the composition, the more preservatives and fragrances, the more dangerous the product is for dogs.
It is better to choose a shampoo with natural oils and extracts.
Dogs, like children, require love, affection, and care. Therefore, it is recommended to use cosmetics that do not irritate the eyes.
There are also shampoos for fleas and ticks, but it is not recommended to use them constantly.
Some purebred pets participate in various competitions and exhibitions. For them, there are special toning shampoos that make the color of the fur brighter.
Proper care will allow the shaggy pet to look great, be healthy, happy, and please their owners.
