Bathing Basics by John Paul Pet
John Paul has recently launched a new line called John Paul Pet.
The range had been tested on humans but formulated with a specific PH balanced for Pets.
Below are some bathing basics to help you take care of your pet as best as you can.
How wet should I get my pet
- Be sure to use a tearless shampoo on the face area to prevent eye irritation.
- Keep water out of the ears: place a cotton ball just under the ear flap.
- Use conditioner after bathing to return moisture o the skin coat.
- Rinse well, residual shampoo will attract dirt and cause flaking.
- Brush well before bathing to remove tangles, dirt, and hair.
- Place a towel on the bottom of the tub to prevent slipping.
- Pre-treat areas by applying shampoo to dry fur before bathing
- Pets do not like cold water, use tepid/warm water.
- Start at the tail and move forward, wetting and lathering the coat.
- Often cats do not like being sprayed with water. Try using a waterless shampoo.
- Blot your pet dry with a towel until damp, this may take several towels.
- If using a blow-dryer, use on NO or Low heat and brush Through
