As a professional groomer, the choice of shampoo and the correct application technique are essential to ensure optimum care for the dogs you care for. A quality shampoo not only cleans effectively, but also maintains the coat while respecting the animal's skin. Here are the best practices to adopt.
1. Select the right shampoo for each dog
Every dog has specific needs depending on its coat type, skin sensitivity and lifestyle. It's important to have a varied range of shampoos to meet the needs of every customer:
- Gentle shampoo: Ideal for frequent washing and sensitive skin.
- Stop odour shampoo: Perfect for dogs with persistent odours, effectively neutralising unpleasant smells.
- Nourishing and regenerating shampoo : Suitable for dry or damaged coats for a revitalising effect.
2. Prepare the dog before washing
Before applying the shampoo, it's essential to brush the coat thoroughly to remove tangles and dead hairs. This will optimise the effectiveness of the product and prevent the formation of fluff after the bath.
3. Applying and massaging the shampoo
Wet the animal with lukewarm water to open the hair scales and make it easier for the product to penetrate.
Apply a suitable dose of shampoo, distributing it evenly over the body.
Massage gently using circular movements, paying particular attention to dirty areas such as the legs, belly and neck.
Leave on for a few minutes if necessary, especially for specific shampoos (anti-odour, nourishing, etc.).
4. Rinse thoroughly
A good rinse is essential to remove all shampoo residue and avoid skin irritation. Be sure to run your fingers through the coat to detect any product residue.
5. Drying and finishing
After removing excess water with a towel, use a blow dryer or a suitable dryer to dry the dog thoroughly. A good blow-dry will enhance the grooming work and prevent skin problems caused by residual moisture.
By using the right shampoos and following these steps, you can guarantee effective, comfortable grooming for your dog, while offering your customers a professional, high-quality service.
