All pet dogs need to get regular baths to keep their coats fresh and tidy. Not only that, bathing can help remove dead skin cells, get rid of the excess skin oil, pet dander, fleas, as well as dust mites.
To achieve most if not all of these, you need to pick the right shampoo — one that is formulated specifically for your dog. You should consider the following tips whenever you go out shopping for a shampoo for your beloved furry canine friend:
- It’s worth repeating that you should not use shampoos for people. This is because such shampoos may contain chemicals that are considered strong or harmful to your furry friend. Human shampoos may cause itchiness or irritation, or it may even cause dry skin (a dog’s skin is more alkaline than human skin).
- Choose dog shampoos that have natural ingredients, especially if your dog suffers from allergy or itchiness. Many dog shampoos have honey, oatmeal, aloe vera, or tea tree oil. Ask your vet Ashburn, VA about these products.
