Dogs
You happen to be a proud owner of a smart furry dog or a cute little feline, the next thing on your mind is pet care. Of course! Whichever pet you own, you need to treat them as your kids and pamper them in the same manner. This includes just about everything, right from pet food to pet health, training etc. Now, an important aspect of pet health is to keep them clean by washing them regularly, or at least on alternate days. Also, a good hygiene is a prerequisite to keep everyone in the house, healthy. The next query is, how to wash them? Are shampoos available? The answer is yes. There are several shampoos available in the market (generally, alike for dogs and cats) which you can trust blindly and purchase, or else you could make some dry shampoo for dogs at home as well. If you have been observing your dog or cat getting irritated because of dry and itchy skin and don't want to see them scratching their bodies all the time, it's high time you buy or prepare a colloidal oatmeal shampoo, the most beneficial and effective amongst all. We do know that oats are meant to be extremely healthy when consumed, however, for many years now, they have been used in cosmetics as well.
Homemade Recipe
Ingredients
For preparing colloidal oatmeal, grind the oats to a fine powder in a blender. Take warm water and add the colloidal oatmeal powder and baking soda into it and mix well. To create lather, you could add few drops of organic soap formula. Be sure that it is fragrance free otherwise your pet might get irritated with the smell.
You might wonder, how are they beneficial? Well, colloidal oatmeal bath for dogs or cats is no different from a bath with normal oats; the former being in powdered form. Now, to use it as a shampoo, it needs to be of that consistency which is generally, achieved using addition of warm water. Baking soda is added more often to enhance the cleaning effect. What I want to emphasize here is, colloidal oatmeal shampoos are better off than the other commercial ones available in the market which are made up of artificial chemicals that can ruin the fur of your pet. Also, these have natural healing properties along with which they make the fur shiny and soft. So, what are the steps to bathe your dog or cat with colloidal oatmeal shampoos? Let's see.
