Properly washing your dog using professional cosmetics is a key process that will promote not only the beauty and health of the coat, but also the dog's overall well-being. Every step is carefully thought out, from shampoo dilution to multi-phase washing, to ensure maximum effectiveness of all products used.
Short-haired breeds : In general, they need bathing less often, once every 2 months is enough.
Breeds with long or thick hair: They require more frequent washing, usually twice a month, especially if they have a tendency to tangle or matt their fur.
Dogs with skin problems: If the dog has problems such as allergies, itching or dandruff, the vet will recommend special shampoos and more frequent baths (for example, once a week).
Active dogs: If your dog spends a lot of time outdoors, in mud or water, it may need to be washed more often, as needed, but always taking into account the condition of the skin.

1. Selection and preparation of cosmetics
At the beginning, it is important to choose the right professional cosmetics that match the type of coat and the needs of the specific dog. Professional shampoos are often concentrated and require dilution, which allows you to control their strength and at the same time prolongs their life. Correct dilution is essential, as concentrated shampoo could irritate the skin. It is usually diluted in the ratio indicated by the manufacturer, for example 1:10 or 1:20, which means one part shampoo to ten or twenty parts water.
2. First wash – removing dirt
The first application of shampoo is mainly used to remove surface dirt, excess oil and dust from the coat. Prepare a diluted shampoo, wet the dog's coat with lukewarm water and apply the shampoo evenly. During the first wash, it is important to massage the entire surface of the body, including hard-to-reach areas such as the paws, belly or neck. This step prepares the coat for a thorough cleaning and paves the way for a deep cleaning.
Thorough rinsing is key, as shampoo left on can cause skin irritation. The coat should be completely free of shampoo, which takes a few minutes, but it is important to make sure the water remains clear.
3. Second wash – deep cleaning and care
The second wash is the main treatment. Here, the shampoo is applied to a clean coat, making it more effective. Apply the diluted shampoo again and gently massage it into the coat. This step ensures a deep clean and supplies the coat with nutrients that are absorbed into the skin and promote its health. The second wash takes longer and involves slow, thorough rinsing to allow the shampoo to reach its maximum effect.
Rinse your dog's coat thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any shampoo residue. Using a conditioner or mask at this stage can help to moisturize and shine the coat, as well as protect the delicate hairs from breakage.
4. Final rinse and drying
The final step is to rinse thoroughly and then dry. Use lukewarm water to rinse the coat completely free of shampoo and conditioner, and continue until the water runs clear. Proper drying – gently towel drying and then blow-drying on a low setting – will ensure that the coat remains clean, fluffy and healthy.
This multi-phase process will ensure the cleanliness, health and beauty of your dog's coat and provide him with a pleasant experience. With the use of professional cosmetics and the right technique, washing can be not only effective, but also a caring ritual that your dog will accept with peace and comfort.
