Washing your dog is quite an art. If this maintenance treatment is not necessarily the most regular of the year, it is advisable to use the right technique, to respect all the essential gestures without forgetting to select the right shampoo.

This complete range includes shampoos specially designed to allow you to provide quality care for your pet’s coat and skin, as well as leave-in foams to complete the routine. A major innovation in terms of dermatology for pets.

Shampoing / mousse without rinsing, which protocol to follow?

For optimal maintenance of your dog’s coat, it is recommended to alternate baths and applications of leave-in foam. The protocol validated by the experts is as follows:

– shampoo for deep cleansing of the hair and the skin, then 3 foams per week for 3 weeks without rinsing. Without forgetting, of course, regular brushing.

The recommended dosage for the application of the foam without rinsing is equivalent to a pressure per kg of weight for a dog under 6 kg, and a pressure per 2 kg for a dog weighing more than 6 kg. In practice, for a Chihuahua weighing 3 kg, for example, you will perform 3 pressures, while for a Labrador-Retriever weighing 30 kg, you will need 15 pressures/doses of foam.

Steps for Better Bathing

You can follow the following steps :

• We start by moistening it thoroughly, before applying the shampoo several times and respecting the recommended dosage. This is one pressure per 2 kg of weight.

• Next, rinse, which should be done from the neck down, leaving the injured areas last.

• Finally, the last step is obviously that of drying, which must be both complete and gentle.
