How to keep my dog's hair white?

It is up to us how much care we exercise over our dog to keep the white of its hair on point .

Not because you have white hair, you should wash it more often.

Washing should be as usual, that is, once a month. If we wash our dog excessively, we cause problems in its skin , since it is more sensitive.

Use a brush with the right bristles for your dog's hair: thick bristles for short hair and smooth, soft bristles for long hair.

• Specific shampoo for white hair: Using a specific shampoo for white hair will provide, apart from cleaning, the necessary assets to keep the hair radiant white. These shampoos often contain blue or violet pigments to bring out the white .

• Tear ducts, beards and rusty areas: White-haired dogs oxidize these areas more easily, therefore, it is necessary that you maintain daily cleaning with wipes, special products and being constant with cleaning.

Special cares

The white hair of a dog or cat is very special , which is why it requires care to always maintain that characteristic purity of our furry's snowy hair.
