Introducing your pup to the perfect pamper

Introducing your pup to the perfect pamper

Young pups should be introduced to the washing experience to get them used to this and the warm, clean, bonding experience. Later on, when they're a bit bigger, they can happily go to a local groomer. They will not be so afraid of new interactions, smells or surrounding. It's so important for the dog and it's coat to look and feel in tip top condition. Regular grooms help the coat stay in great condition, with no matting, no skin conditions and can also help pick up on any lumps or bumps.

Keep dogs clean, fresh and looking great at all times. A good dog shampoo will NOT create a thick sudsy lather, as this is too constricting / astringent. Our Shampoos are specially formulated for dogs' and their sensitive skin. Our formula's are pH balanced and cleanse with a gentle action and extra emollients. After washing, always rinse off thoroughly with clean luke warm water. Never use cold water. Dry with a highly-absorbent towel for an easier and quicker process and try not to rub the coat as this causes matting. Keep hairdryers / blowers on cool to low settings and never point them directly in the dog's face! Shiny, clean, fresh coats every time. Healthy pets are happy pets!

Here's a few tips to give your pup a good hair day

Start with a damp coat - wet your dog all over. Apply a small amount to your hands and distribute by rubbing all over from the neck down. OR you can place approximately 25ml to 50ml of product - that's 1 to 2 full pump depressions, directly into a measuring jug (usually 1ltr size), top-up with warm water, mix well and pour slowly whilst rubbing into the dog's coat, again start from the neck down. Rub all over, adding further shampoo and water if needed - as does depend on say mud or even those happy rolling moments in say cow pats! Work into a lather distributing the product on all desired areas to be cleaned. It is advisable to use more product if the level of soiling is heavy. To achieve maximum activity, leave the shampoo on the coat / fur for at least 2 – 3 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off all the suds. As with all shampoos, take care around the eye area! Should the product get into eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean running water. Use a super absorbent towel and towel dry your dog without ruffing up the fur too much as this causes matting. Your dog is now clean and fresh and ready for a low-heat dryer.

Fragrance or Fragrance-Free? We know a shampoo that smells amazing sounds great, but many artificial fragrances can irritate your dog's skin. Hypoallergenic shampoos either skip scent completely or use natural, mild ones like lavender or chamomile. We always recommend going with unscented if your dog has a history of allergies. A light natural scent is okay, but anything too strong might be a red flag. It's better to have a clean dog that doesn't itch than one that smells like a flower but scratches all day. Our shampoos are suitable on sensitive skin and are pH balanced. Biodegradable, Vegan Friendly and Leaping Bunny Approved with Cruelty Free International.
