Regardless of whether you are raising a show dog or keeping a pet for the soul, maintaining hygiene and proper care of the coat and skin are integral procedures for caring for your four-legged friend.

The luxurious, shiny coat of a four-legged pet, especially a long-haired breed, is a source of special pride for the dog owner and the main indicator of its health. Grooming involves regular brushing and washing using cosmetics and detergents. A properly selected shampoo for dogs, and in addition to it, a balm, mask or spray conditioner is the basis for a beautiful, smooth coat and healthy skin without signs of flaking and dandruff.

The coat and skin of pets are individual for each breed, so you should select hygiene products for your dog based on the following factors:

The Zooshef online store offers a wide selection of dog shampoos in Moscow at the best price, which are manufactured by leading manufacturers: 8in1, Beaphar, Hartz, Herba Vitae, Veda and others. In the extensive range of products you can choose cosmetics and detergents:

· For puppies, hairless (hairless type) dogs, pets with long, short, coarse hair;

· Shampoos and conditioning sprays for shine and volume, to make combing and styling easier;

· Hypoallergenic, moisturizing, deodorizing and other products.

Cosmetics for dogs – categories

The range of cosmetics for dogs is extremely wide - the variety of jars, bottles, tubes will take even an experienced dog breeder by surprise, not to mention owners without experience. Therefore, before going to the store, you should understand the abundance of cosmetics and detergents for pets.

All cosmetics for dogs consist of 99% animal hair care products and are divided into the following categories:

• Wool cleansing products – shampoos for daily washing, soap, specialized dry shampoos , gels and sprays for quick cleaning;
• Series for hair care - balms, conditioners to facilitate combing, including conditioner sprays, oils, masks;
• Specialized medicinal products - hypoallergenic shampoos for sensitive skin, anti-dandruff shampoo for dogs, products to accelerate hair growth after shedding (haircuts), anti-flea shampoos and others;
• Tinting and coloring shampoos;
• Modeling cosmetics – balms, varnishes, gels for fixation and easier styling, and products for adding volume;
• Special anti-mat products, antistatic sprays, moisturizing shampoo for dogs and deodorizing products for dog odor.

Professional and conventional cosmetics for dogs

Cosmetics for dogs, as well as for humans, are divided into professional products and regular shampoos and conditioners. The main difference between them is the composition of the shampoo or other product, the degree of its effect on the dog’s coat and skin, plus the cost, which is higher than for conventional detergents. At the same time, conventional washing products are used only for cleanliness, as well as maintaining the health of the coat and skin. Whereas professional cosmetics for dogs are used not only for cleaning, but also for styling the coat, giving it shape, volume, shine and emphasizing the texture of the hair.

It is in professional product lines that you can find tinted or coloring gentle shampoos for dogs, which are designed specifically for the color of your pet’s coat. Thanks to special additives from plant components that do not harm the dog, such shampoos make the dark color brighter and the coat white dog even shinier and lighter.

Cosmetics from the professional series are most often purchased by owners of show dogs, but they are suitable for all animals, therefore they are often used by caring owners in everyday life, despite their higher cost

Coat type is the basis for choosing shampoos and conditioners for dogs

Regardless of belonging to a particular series, all product lines contain detergents and cosmetics, plus conditioners for dog hair, designed for a specific type of hair and skin.

Groomers, specialists in caring for the fur and skin of pets, distinguish several main types of fur, the characteristics of which should be matched to the selection of cosmetics:

• A smooth type of coat with short guard hair and undercoat, characteristic of short-haired dogs: dachshund, toy terrier, doberman, boxer, chihuahua and others.
• Wool with medium-length hair (long guard hair and short undercoat) is characteristic of German shepherds, huskies, Labradors, huskies, Samoyeds, chow-chows and ordinary dogs with a “yard” pedigree;
• Long hair (long guard hair with or without undercoat) is characteristic of collies, spaniels, Tibetan mastiffs, Newfoundlands, St. Bernards, or one of the representatives of the long-haired breed without undercoats - the Yorkshire terrier.
• Hard type of coat - this type is characterized by guard hair, similar in feel to wire, most often found in the Fox Terrier, Airedale Terrier, Giant Schnauzer, Jack Russell Terrier and others.
• Curly hair - this type of hair is characterized by an undercoat and outer hair, characterized by softness, which is the privilege of poodles, Bichon Frize, English Cocker Spaniel, distinguished by ears with wavy, but more often curly, hair.

There are also exotic dog breeds that are naturally endowed with atypical and unique coats that require special care. Among them are such breeds as corded poodle, Commander (a dog with dreadlocks), and Puli. At the same time, there are many “hairless” breeds with a hairless type of hair – the Mexican Hairless Dog, the Chinese Crested and others, whose skin requires careful care, cleaning it from dirt and protecting it from drying out.

Each type of coat has its own shampoo. For pets with short hair, shampoo for smooth-haired breeds is perfect. To care for long and thick hair, not only shampoo is used, but also conditioner for long-haired dogs, which makes combing easier and prevents the formation of tangles.

If you are in doubt or do not know which shampoo and conditioner is suitable for your pet, consult with your veterinarian or go to the catalog of the Zooshef online store, in which all cosmetic products for dogs are selected by category.

Several rules for choosing cosmetics for dogs

1. In the process of choosing cosmetics, the owner of a four-legged pet should first of all understand that the use of human cosmetics when caring for a dog is unacceptable.

This is due to the fact that Ph, otherwise the acidity of the skin, of humans and dogs differs significantly. The average Ph value of human skin is 5.5, so cosmetic detergents have a more alkaline composition, which is not suitable for dogs, whose skin Ph is much higher (on average 7-8.5 depending on the breed).

Due to this, all cosmetics for dogs have a low or neutral level of acidity, which ensures not only cleanliness of the coat and moisturization of the skin, but also preserves the natural fatty (protective) layer. Using shampoo for humans, you risk drying out your pet's skin and coat, which will be the main cause of dandruff formation, loss of shine and silkiness of the hair.

2. Before buying shampoo, pay attention to the composition of the product.

All plant and animal components in the composition (natural oils, extracts, extracts, lanolin, collagen, vitamin supplements) are an absolute plus of the cosmetic product. Moreover, the higher they are in the list of ingredients, the better for your dog, and the better the quality of the shampoo, conditioner or conditioner.

As for preservatives, it is desirable that they are not present in the detergent at all, but if they are present, it should be either D-alpha tocopherol and benzoic acid, or citric acid, propolis and extracts of a variety of plants, which are absolutely harmless to your pet.

Surfactants, or fragrances, are present in shampoos, and it is best if it is laureth sulfate or TEA lauryl, while ammonium or sodium laureth sulfate are the main components included in almost 90% of detergents and deteriorate the quality of shampoo.

What definitely should not be in dog shampoos is methylparaben or propylparaben, cocamide MEA, sodium EDTA, propylene glycol. The latter component is used in “silky” shampoos, which do not contain natural plant extracts. It is due to propylene glycol that the effect of silkiness and softness is achieved, but with constant use of such shampoo, your pet faces not only deterioration in the condition of the skin and hair, but also in the functioning of the dog’s kidneys.

3. When purchasing medicated anti-flea and antifungal shampoos for dogs, all products should be used only during the treatment period.

4. Dry shampoos are the best choice of hair and skin care products for dogs that are afraid of water and don’t like bathing, but not only. This type of shampoo, available as a spray or powder in a bottle, is an ideal choice for puppies and adult dogs with weakened immune systems, for whom regular bathing can cause colds.

Dry shampoos perfectly absorb sebum, which makes the coat unsightly and matted, clean the hair well and deodorize it, and additionally acting as a conditioner, prevent the formation of tangles in long-haired dogs.

Many manufacturers offer medicated dry shampoos that are convenient in the summer for preventing the appearance of fleas and ticks. There are also specialized lines for hair restoration, which reduce hair fragility, give volume and a beautiful appearance.

The only caveat is that dry shampoo for dogs in powder form is optimal for dogs of light color and short-haired breeds. The powder is difficult to apply evenly to the fur of a long-haired pet - for them it is better to use a spray. Also, using powder for dark-colored animals will require additional rinsing.

Dogs have a rather complicated relationship with washing. They are not averse to taking a natural summer shower, but, as a rule, they do not treat special baths or river bathing in the best way - not all, but the overwhelming majority. Some representatives like to roll in some fragrant puddle or even explore a nearby garbage dump, so sometimes they simply cannot do without swimming.

Every owner who cares about the health of their pet should have a special shampoo for dogs (or cats) in their first aid kit. Moreover, the brand of the latter depends on the breed of the animal, as well as on the properties of its wool and skin. Here, first of all, you need to rely on the recommendations of veterinarians and other specialists in this field: when to bathe the animal, how often, whether the dog can wash its hair with shampoo or not, etc.

Features of shampoos

So, let's try to identify the most popular and best shampoos for dogs. Reviews from owners, expert opinions, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of detergents will be discussed in our article. Let's start with the manufacturers.

Shampoo manufacturers

There are quite a lot of companies producing special detergents for animals, almost as many as there are similar brands for people. It is very easy to get confused in all this diversity, especially for an inexperienced consumer. In addition, as mentioned above, when buying, for example, dry shampoo for dogs, you need to take into account the breed and some other properties of the animal’s fur or skin.

For a good half of pets, ordinary conditioners or some kind of strengthening detergents are quite suitable. Naturally, the more natural ingredients they contain, the better. The last point plays almost the main role when choosing shampoo for dogs.

When choosing a detergent for your pet, first of all, pay attention to the following manufacturers:

It should also be noted that the shampoo is sold in a large package and with a smart dispenser, so it will last for a long time.

• not recommended for puppies (less than 3 months old);
• pronounced smell of pine;
• with rare exceptions, allergic reactions in the owner to the components of the shampoo are observed.

The basic rule, which should be followed strictly, regardless of breed, coat length and other physiological characteristics, is that a dog should never be washed with “human” shampoo. Of course, a one-time procedure will not cause any particular harm to the dog’s health, although in puppies prone to allergies, even the one-time use of the wrong detergent may cause an undesirable reaction. This is due to the different pH levels of human and animal skin, which is why shampoos for humans can greatly dry out the dog’s dermis. In addition, there are practically no synthetic components in pet cosmetics - fragrances, dyes, etc. You should avoid risky situations and immediately purchase products intended exclusively for caring for dog hair.

When choosing products presented in a pet store, you should start from the following criteria:

• your pet’s coat type – separate lines of shampoos are available for short-haired and long-haired dogs;
• breed - some manufacturers of care products specialize in specific breeds, taking into account their distinctive qualities and developmental nuances;
• presence of health problems - sometimes conventional methods of care are not enough. If you have skin dermatitis, fleas, ticks, or excessive hair loss, it is better to use medications designed specifically for the treatment of a specific pathology.

Why are professional products necessary?

If you use low-quality shampoo for dogs, in addition to slight itching and the formation of tangles on the coat, you can get eye disease and allergies. When choosing a product, consider some of the characteristics of your pet.

For example, there are different Espree brand products. Some are suitable for long-haired dogs, while others are suitable for wire-haired or smooth-haired dogs. And using Doctor Zoo, you will cure your pet of fleas. The insecticidal product is particularly effective in this area.

Even if the shampoo for dogs turns out to be unsuitable, only cosmetic problems can arise. The same Espree is unable to adversely affect health.

There will be no itching, dandruff, fleas or ringworm. Nothing but tangles in the wool. But you can get rid of the smell. And reviews from experienced dog breeders serve as proof of this.

Products from Espree, Perfect Coat, Rolf Club, Hartz, Artero, Elite, Biogroom or Doctor Zoo, etc. may seem expensive. But that's not true. Remember that the worse the dog shampoo was purchased, the more often they will need to be washed. Accordingly, to effectively cleanse paws, fur and skin, you will need a lot of money.

Almost all products (Espree, Perfect Coat, Rolf Club, Hartz, Artero, Elite, Biogroom or Doctor Zoo, etc.) meet minimum quality requirements.

Coat type plays an important role

When choosing a shampoo for dogs (long-haired, wire-haired or smooth-haired), be guided by their coat type. For example, Espree brand products for adding volume will turn a Yorkie into a tousled creature consisting of numerous tangles. They will even be in the paw area.

When choosing shampoo for dogs, be guided by the breed standard and description. Also read reviews from experienced owners or contact breeders. The video will demonstrate a line of shampoos for long-haired pets.

Remember that if you start softening the coat of wire-haired breeds by purchasing a suitable dog shampoo from the Espree, Perfect Coat, Rolf Club, Hartz, Artero, Elite, Biogroom or Doctor Zoo brands, then it will become dirty and tangled faster. Especially in the paw area.

Many different brands go on sale. These are Espree, and Perfect Coat, and Rolf Club, and Hartz, and Artero, and Elite, and Biogroom, and Doctor Zoo. You can buy an insecticidal shampoo or a product containing chlorhexidine or tar.

When there are problems

If you need to get rid of ticks or lichen, improve the quality of the coat, giving it shine, or remove itching in the paw area, the choice of products becomes complicated.

Owners want instant results. It seems to them that after the first procedure there should be no lichen, ticks or fleas and dandruff on the skin. The whitening effect should also appear from the very first minutes. But all you can quickly achieve is to get rid of the dog smell.

You will get an immediate effect with the help of aggressive components. Naturally, if necessary, then a whitening effect will appear, and the coat will begin to shine, and you will be able to get rid of ringworm and mites. But the protective layer will be lost. Accordingly, you will have to wash your pet more often. And if you managed to get rid of the itching and dog smell, they will appear again.

Products such as Doctor Zoo, Hartz, Elite, Rolf Club and Perfect Coat are not magic wands. They need time. And if you want to rid your pet of itching, ringworm, mites, dandruff and fleas, and not just the dog smell, you won’t be able to get it perfect on the first try.

Camouflage products

The same Hartz, Rolf Club and Perfect Coat will save you when emergency preparation for an exhibition is needed. But this is a disguise. And after the exhibition, the pet will need to be thoroughly bathed, using a mild shampoo for short-haired pets, long-haired or wire-haired.

Aggressive professional products cannot be used often, as the wool will deteriorate. Especially in the paw area. And even more so, you should not use such shampoo for puppies.

Choosing the optimal product

Keratin proteins or mink oil will help you cope with dry, matted hair with many tangles. Shampoo containing chlorhexidine will help get rid of itching.

If you require a hypoallergenic product for puppies and dogs, it is best to consult a veterinarian. Experimenting in this situation is not recommended. Only a doctor can determine the hypoallergenic composition.

Different manufacturers (Hartz, Rolf Club and Perfect Coat) add different components to their hypoallergenic shampoo. And in some situations the same component is called differently.

Using dry product

Dry shampoo for dogs is a brilliant invention. It is suitable for small puppies, pregnant and sick pets. Great as a paw or odor remover. However, constant use can damage the wool.

Dry shampoo is mainly suitable for short-haired dogs. In winter, he can help out if you need to clean the fur of an enclosure pet. But it will be impossible to wash a Caucasian living in a booth in sub-zero temperatures.

It is best to use dry shampoo for white dogs. Dark fur often leaves stains. It is best to use products that contain natural ingredients.

Hair and skin treatment

Medicinal shampoo (for example, insecticidal or containing chlorhexidine and tar), as well as professional products, are very popular. With it you can get rid of fleas, ticks, dandruff, and lichen. Yes, and he can help out from the smell of a dog.

Getting rid of fleas

Anti-flea and dandruff shampoo contains herbal or chemical components. The latter are more effective as they help get rid of fleas faster.

It is not possible to completely get rid of lichen and mites using shampoos. To do this, you need to use medications. Shampoo for puppies will act as a preventative. Especially with chlorhexidine in the composition.

With the help of such products you can cope with various skin diseases. First of all, products with chlorhexidine help get rid of itching in the paws, dandruff and odor.

In some situations, insecticidal shampoo not only does not get rid of lichen and mites, but also complicates the situation. Therefore, in such situations, it is better to consult a doctor.

Treatment for dandruff

In some situations, a product containing chlorhexidine for dandruff and itching has only a cosmetic effect. With its help you can get rid of dead skin flakes and excess sebum. A tar product also copes well with this.

To completely remove traces of dandruff and get rid of itching, you need to change your diet. If this does not help, contact your veterinarian as it may be a fungal infection. It usually occurs in the paw area.
