As to home grooming, you should keep an eye on fur & smell.
1. How to bathe your dog in a short amount of time
Whether you love or hate bathing your dog, it’s an absolute must-do every month. But how do we make sure they are fresh when their turn comes around? There is a right shampoo for each type of coat and skin out there! We can you offer a look at the coat-specific dog shampoos, including the following options:
- Sensitive shampoo for dogs with sensitive skin. This dog shampoo is suited for dogs with sensitive skins and other difficult conditions. It has an all-natural formula that doesn’t irritate your pup’s delicate skin, making it perfect to use every day without worry about oversensitivity or allergies developing later on down the line! Moreover, this is a perfect dog shampoo for puppies under 12 weeks.
- Medicated shampoo goes one step further and has a more aggressive formula tailored for special skin conditions. To use this type of shampoo, we strongly encourage you to consult with your veterinarian.
- Shampoo for shedding dogs. We all know how much fure can shedding dogs possess! If you have one of these furry friends, then No. 20 Royal Jelly shampoo will help reduce the amount by which they shed. It’s made with special ingredients that breakup into oils and waxes when applied onto skin; it helps remove dead cells so your pet doesn’t need as many grooming sessions (or even any!).
- Shampoo for non-shedding dogs or dogs with hair (as opposed to fur). The shampoo for these dogs has more moisturizing and nourishing ingredients. Read this article about special grooming needs of shedding dogs.
Once you select your perfect shampoo match, we recommend bathing your dog a maximum 2 times per month, not to deplete the oil and protection layer of the dogs’ skin & coat.
2. The best way to brush your dog
The best way for brushing the dog is regularity. You need to brush your dog at least every other day. Better to do short brushing sessions daily if that is possible. This is perfect bonding time & also takes less time in the span of the week, rather than long brushing periods when you are detangling a lot of knots.
Brushing is the key to bathing. Before and after a bath! Prior to bath, you would like to make sure that the coat is not tangled and there are no chunks of dirt hiding inside it. You also open hair follicles & improve the moisture & nourish receiving properties of the coat.
After the bath, you would like to detangle everything for quicker drying and stimulate blood flow
3. Tips for keeping your dog’s fur clean and healthy on the go
If there is no time for a bath, but the dog’s coat needs refreshing, you would need two things: a dog’s brush & waterless dog shampoo.
The way to use it is pretty straightforward.
- Brush dog first
- Pump out some foam of waterless dog shampoo from the package
- Apply it all over the dog’s fur
- Brush out the dog
Voila! Your dog is clean and fresh now!
4. How to deal with bad pet smells
Our first answer is to wash the dog! But if it is not possible, re-read the point about using waterless or dry dog shampoo. That should be a long-lasting and quick fix.
To prolongate the good smell of your dog, you can use dog grooming spray aka dog perfume! Apply it right after the bath!
You can also use it as an in-between bath, cause it has deodorizing properties. But beware not to use it if your dog has a bad odor, that will not be masked by perfume!
