Advice on Shampoo and Grooming
- Before shampooing give your pet a thorough brushing to remove all those loose hairs, this then improves the effectiveness of the shampoo.
- When grooming ensure you choose the right brush suitable for your pet. For pets with thick coats always brush against the growth.
- Ensure your pet's eyes and ears are protected from shampoo/water getting in. Thoroughly soak your pet with luke warm water and apply shampoo, working from the neck to the tail, massage into the hair and skin. Leave the shampoo to penetrate the coat for about 5 minutes or see bottle label instructions.
- After rinsing, towel dry, brush and keep pets nice and warm until hair is completely dry. Take care with hairdryers as you can easily burn the skin.
