Negative external factors lead to an intense accumulation of dust and other contaminants in their body. They begin to bathe the animal as a puppy. Longhair and small dogs are washed every fourteen days, smooth-haired and large - every thirty days. Use only detergents specifically designed for the care of dogs' hair. Shampoos for people dry the hair and skin of animals. Conditioners and shampoos have different purposes and are used separately. Washable shampoos are used when the animal is washed in water. If there is no access to water, indelible powder or spray allows you to cleanse the skin of impurities.
