When a conventional dog bath isn't practical, it's QuikClean waterless shampoo to the rescue!
About Waterless Shampoo
Is your dog the type that really dislikes getting a full water bath? Perhaps your pet is one of those that manage to get dirty at the most inopportune times, when you simply can't stop to give him a full bath.
No matter which category your fur ball falls into, waterless shampoo can be a great alternative to a traditional tub and shampoo bath. Let's learn a little bit more about what it is and how it works.
What is It?
Waterless shampoos are cleaning agents that come in both liquid and foam formulas. What makes them "waterless" does not pertain to the ingredients in the formula, but rather to the fact that there's no need to wet your dog's fur before applying the shampoo, or rinse the product out when you're finished. This is quite different from traditional shampoos that would leave you and your dog with a sticky mess if you used them without water. Sounds more convenient already, doesn't it?
How is It Used?
Waterless dog shampoo is very easy to use. Just follow these simple instructions, and depending on your pet's size and the amount of area you want to clean, you can have a freshly bathed dog in approximately ten minutes.
- Apply the waterless shampoo product directly to the area you want to clean. The amount you use will depend on the area you need to cover. You can start with just enough products to moisten the fur and add more shampoo as needed.
- Thoroughly massage the shampoo into the fur and scalp until it forms enough lather to break up dirt, oils and other pollutants.
- Use a cotton or paper towel to gently remove the excess moisture from the fur.
- Gently brush the dampened fur to remove debris and detangle the coat.
- Let the coat air dry or blow dry as needed.
