Our Pets are our Family, and they deserve the best animal health care that we can provide. From veterinary medicine to the perfect Shampoo, we need to identify their needs and find the right products for their healthcare.

For a pet’s grooming, a lot of products are available in the marketing, but the product that tops the list is a Shampoo. Finding the right shampoo for your furry friends is very important, and to do so you first need to understand your pet’s needs and requirements. Shampoos vary from breed to breed. Pets with a thicker coat require more dermal care as compared to pets with a thin coat. 

A good Pet shampoo can perform wonders for your pet’s health, while the wrong one can cause dermatological problems. Pet parents should make an informed decision when it comes to choosing a dermal product for their pets.

Your pets are mischievous and they tend to get themselves dirty playing outside. Stopping them from playing should never be an option, but you should know, as pet parents, how to keep them clean while ensuring a healthy coat on them. 

Things to keep in mind before choosing a Pet Shampoo:

  • Your Pet’s Needs: Before choosing a Shampoo, you should know the needs of your pet. Whether the Shampoo is for enhancing their coat, to treat ticks & fleas, or to help in preventing fungal infections. For example, if your pet has a ticks and fleas infestation, you can go for our Clearkill Shampoo. If you’re looking for a shiny and smooth coat, you can give your pet a regular bath with our Oatem Shampoo. In cases of Fungal infection, you should opt for our Funggo Shampoo. 
  • What Your Pets do not Require: You should get your pets checked up with the veterinarians and understand what all ingredients they are suitable and allergic to, and look out for those in the Shampoo that you are choosing for them. A monthly visit to the vet is very important to identify your pet’s health. The vet can identify all the ingredients and elements that your pet is allergic to. It makes it easier to eliminate the pet products that might cause a reaction on your pets.
  • Consult Your Vets: If you’ve found a product you think is right for your pet, you should first consult with your vet to know if the product is suitable for your furry friend. For example, a Shampoo with oatmeal might suit some pets and some pets might be allergic to it. So you need to consult your vet to get a sure shot answer to that.
  • If the need demands, choose a medicated shampoo: It your pet is facing issues like fungal infections or flea infestation, you should always opt for a medicated shampoo to bring them relief from these painful dermal problems.

When it comes to pet products, you always need to be extra careful because it is harder to understand what works and what doesn’t work for them.
