Pamper your Pooch with our new Doggy Styling pet care!

Washing your dog is an important part of dog ownership. Regular grooming helps your dog feel good, look good and even assist in keeping them healthy, and we all want a healthy and happy hound, right?

The Somerset Toiletry Company is proud to introduce a new luxury pet care collection, Doggy Styling. This new range contains 4 products suitable for all breeds of dogs and puppies from 6 weeks old.

Even though it’s essential to keep your dog clean, it’s also important that you do not over wash them. Washing your dogs coats too often can lead to problems for your pooches including dry and flaky skin, interfering with worming and flea treatments and skin disorders. 

It is recommended that you wash your dog once every four weeks (although this is very dependent on whether your dog often goes on muddy walks)!

Our Top Tips when Washing your Dog

Even if your dog is well behaved, bathing them is often harder than you think, however it is an important part of caring for your pet. We wanted to share our top tips to make this experience as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible!

1. Brush them before washing

It’s best to brush your dog’s fur before bathing them. This will remove any loose fur and ensure any mats or tangled are brushed out as this is a lot trickier when their coat is wet.

2. Find the perfect location

Washing your dog can be quite a strenuous task but choosing a convenient location can make a big difference. Using somewhere that is easy to get your dog in and out of will make the experience a lot less stressful and help ensure your dog doesn’t panic.

3. Avoid your dogs face

When washing your dog, it’s important to avoid getting soap or water in their ears, eyes and mouth to avoid any infections or burning. We recommend using a jug or hand held shower head. To wash your dogs face, you can use a flannel afterwards.

Benefits of using our Dog Shampoo

In addition to having a clean woofer, there are many other benefits of washing for them and even for you.

1. Removes dirt and odour

Bathing your dog in our dog shampoo will leave them smelling great as well as keeping their coats in tip-top condition. Choose between four fragrances: Aloe Vera, Tutti Frutti, Baby Powder and Olive & Walnut.

3. Reduces Shedding

Are you getting tired of constantly vacuuming your dog’s hair from your home? Washing your dog, followed by giving them a quick brush will help remove any loose hairs and decrease the shedding.

4. Helps with allergies (yours and theirs)

Washing your dog often, will help remove any allergens, bacteria and dirt trapped in their coat. The more you bathe your dog, the longer theirs and your allergens will be kept at bay.
