Often we can not bathe our fluffy pets, unnecessary water procedures remove the protective natural lubricant, which creates the sebaceous glands of the animal. But in some cases you can not do without swimming, and then you have to look for specialized shampoos for animals. Why not use a gel or other cleanser for a person? Alas, but our shampoos can cause allergies in cats, irritating the delicate skin. It is better not to risk acquiring a quality product from veterinarians. It turns out that there are many kinds of shampoos, and they are designed for certain procedures.
What are shampoos for cats?
- The most common are therapeutic antiparasitics - shampoos against fleas for cats, from lichen and antifungal shampoos. They contain various effective drugs that paralyze or kill harmful organisms. Popular are shampoos and sprays for cats on the basis of miconazole, permethrin or enilconazole. But they are not always able to completely defeat the infection. For safety, manufacturers do not dare to introduce a large concentration of active substances into the detergent preparation. For example, a well-known and inexpensive shampoo "Purity" for cats almost always helps with a small infection, when treating small kittens, but in other cases it is better to apply it as an addition to traditional treatment.
- Shampoos from coats for long-haired cats help to cope with stalling of wool, perfectly facilitating its combing.
- There is an excellent whitening shampoo for white cats, lightening wool. It is no longer a medicine, but a cosmetic remedy.
- Shampoos for cats, designed for animals with very dry hair, remove static, protect hair from sunlight, increasing reflectivity, and retain moisture inside the hair.
- Shampoos for oily hair help the normal operation of the sebaceous glands.
- There are special shampoos for cats of the Sphynx breed, whose skin is almost naked. Simple detergents in such delicate animals cause dermatitis.
The choice of cosmetic and therapeutic shampoos for cats is great, you just need to seriously choose their choice. Buy high-quality drugs that have good reviews and really help to cope with the task.
