FAQs

1. How to use pet shampoo?

To use Episoothe shampoo, start by shaking the bottle well. Wet your pet’s coat thoroughly with warm water. Apply an adequate amount of Episoothe shampoo and create a thick lather. Let the lather remain on the coat for about 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. This process ensures that the pet shampoo effectively soothes, cleanses, and hydrates your pet's skin.

2. Do you need to use shampoo and conditioner on dogs?

Episoothe shampoo is a pet shampoo-cum-conditioner, meaning it provides both cleansing and conditioning benefits in one product. It is formulated with colloidal oatmeal to soothe and hydrate the skin, making it ideal for regular grooming and managing dry, sensitive skin in dogs and cats.

3. Can I use human shampoo on my pet?

No, you should not use human shampoo on your pet. Human shampoos are too harsh for the sensitive skin of pets and can cause irritation and dryness. Always use a pet shampoo like Episoothe shampoo that is pH-balanced and formulated to meet the unique needs of your dog’s or cat’s skin.

4. How often should I bathe my dog/cat with pet shampoo?

The frequency of bathing depends on your pet’s skin condition and activity level. For regular grooming, Episoothe shampoo can be used once a week or once a fortnight. For managing dry or sensitive skin, it can be used 2-3 times a week for about 4 weeks, then reduced to once a week, or as directed by your veterinarian.

5. Can I use dog shampoo on a cat (vice versa)?

Episoothe shampoo is suitable for both dogs and cats. However, it is essential to check the specific formulation of the pet shampoo to ensure it is appropriate for the other species. Episoothe shampoo is designed to be safe and effective for both dogs and cats, offering gentle cleansing and excellent skin hydration for all ages.

6. How often should I use pet shampoo on my pet?

For regular grooming, using Episoothe shampoo once a week or once a fortnight is sufficient. If your pet has dry or sensitive skin, you may need to bathe them 2-3 times a week initially for about 4 weeks, then reduce the frequency to once a week or follow your veterinarian’s recommendations. Regular use helps maintain healthy, moisturized skin and a clean, fresh-smelling coat.

By following these guidelines and using Virbac dog shampoo, you can ensure your pet's skin and coat remain healthy and well-maintained.
