Ideally, you should use a shampoo that is formulated specifically for pets. Human shampoo is not necessarily harmful to your pets, however, there are products that could have ingredients or fragrances that might be a source of your pet’s skin irritation. Choose a shampoo that is specially created for your pet’s species, because there are ingredients that have the potential to be harmful if used on a different species. It is always a good idea to speak with your veterinarian to ensure that the shampoo you select fulfills the needs of your pet.
And since soaps and shampoos can be a source of irritation, check with your veterinarian for an eye lubricant, a sterile one, that you can use when bathing your pet to protect their eyes from the shampoo. You could also try using a showerhead or a sprayer that has a length of hose that will allow you control over the flow of the water when you rinse your pet. Try not to shampoo their head altogether. Try using a washcloth, wet it, and then gently remove debris or dirt from your pet’s face. Take care to protect their ears as well. Use a cotton ball, place one in each of your pet’s ears until you have finished bathing your pet.
Any sign of skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should prompt a visit to your vet clinic Lewisville, TX. Visit their site to learn more about their services.
