Secrets buying dog cosmetics
- If you have taken a small Yorkshire terrier to the house and have already bought various attributes for it (dishes, toys, a sleeping place, etc.), then the matter remains only for the dog’s grooming products. But it often happens that novice dog breeders are completely unaware of cosmetics for dogs and as a result remain disappointed with the effect obtained.
How to make the right choice and choose the right shampoo for your little pet, we will tell in this material. But first of all, we will introduce you to the principles of contamination of canine hair and how to care for it.
Process of contamination Yorkie wool
If we consider that the little Yorkshire terrier has absolutely no undercoat, then there is a faster contamination of the coat. Since the skin of the dog, which makes up as much as 15% of the total body mass of the dog, actively produces sebum (sebum). It is he who in the process of movement of the dog is smoothly distributed over the entire length of the hair, which contributes to the speedy sticking of dust and dirt to the wool. As a result, the hair structure is completely closed, preventing normal breathing and nutrition. Hence the dull and unkempt appearance of the wool from the Yorkshire terrier. Therefore, it is so important to clean dog hair with high-quality cosmetic products in time and to provide it with good nutrition.
What you should know about dog shampoo and other cosmetics?
The most primitive shampoos for dog hair are products that contain water and sodium sulfate, which is the cheapest and simplest surface-active substance (surfactant). It is the function of dissolving and washing away the dirt from the dog’s coat.
In addition, if you use cheap dog shampoo with Laureth Sulfate Sodium, then soon the dog’s coat will become brittle, tough and dull. Therefore, it is so important to use high-quality cosmetics in the care of Yorkshire terrier hair and at the same time adhere to some rules for washing dog hair.

Rules by using cosmetics
In order for the use of professional cosmetics to bring a 100% result, it is necessary to follow certain rules when washing the dog’s hair:
- Never apply pure shampoo to a dog’s coat. So you risk leaving a certain amount of money on your hair, which will make it heavier. Before applying the washing shampoo, be sure to dissolve it in a small amount of water and only after that wash the dog.
- If your pet’s coat is thin and sparse, you can purchase shampoo, which includes silicone. This tool will visually make the hair thicker and thicker.
- For damaged hair of the Yorkshire Terrier, it is better to buy shampoo, which includes protein and wax, cosmetic oils and lanolin. They will carefully fill the damaged areas of the hair and make the hair smooth and silky.
