A question for the golden maze. Perhaps this is the first time you've thought about whether it actually gets diluted at all. And in what proportion? Read on.
Professional products are concentrated
In the article Why not to buy shampoo at a pet store , we showed you what harmful substances you can find in those classic commercial shampoos and how to learn to think about dog cosmetics labels. Professional salons usually work with high-quality, proven brands, which you can also find in our e-shop. They contain mainly natural ingredients, in high concentrations.
90% of professional cosmetics can get into your eyes and ears and it won't do anything, you don't have to worry.
You will see the difference immediately.
But there is another dimension to it. Diluted shampoo gets deeper into the coat, and dilution also helps to better distribute the active ingredients. So it has an even better effect when washing your dog than a cheap version from the store that you didn't dilute and just applied half a bottle to your dog. After washing your dog with a diluted quality product, you will immediately notice the difference in shiny and soft coat , which is really nourished in depth.
How to dilute correctly?
A lot depends on the specific shampoo and the dog's needs, but it is generally recommended to dilute the product in a ratio of 1:3 (1 part shampoo, 3 parts water, mix in a bowl, ideally with warm water) or 1:5 - the recommended dilution is usually written on the professional packaging. Then apply to wet fur, gradually massage in. Rub in, rub with your fingers, leave for about 5-10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly. Because the shampoo is so concentrated, it can cause dandruff on the skin on the back without dilution.
We rely on a 3-step approach to washing your dog:
1. Wash your dog thoroughly with a cleansing shampoo. 2. Wash your dog thoroughly with a nourishing shampoo. 3. Apply a conditioner or nourishing mask. Only then comb and dry your dog.
When you think, you save.
And the cherry on top: Buying a quality professional shampoo will actually save you money, because if you dilute it properly, you won't use as much from the bottle and it will last you longer than cheaper options that you'll need for 2 baths without diluting. And let's face it - if you buy shampoo from a pet store and apply it directly to the fur, it's like liquid soap in a gooey form... And it takes a lot of work and a lot of product before you manage to lather it all over your furry friend's fur. It's annoying and the dog doesn't like it either. And what if you have more than one dog?!!
