Collection: Wash & Care

Washing and care are essential

It is important to wash and care for your dog, because firstly it cleans it of dirt and bacteria. This helps to keep the dog healthy. However, it is also important because the hair itself needs washing and care as well as nourishment. It is therefore necessary to bathe the dog once in a while. The frequency of this is according to need, as it varies from breed to breed and not least, from coat to coat.

Every dog and coat has special needs and potential challenges, and there is no one product within washing and care that can do it all – they each do something different. However, it is important that you use products that are developed for dogs, as those for humans, for example, often contain perfume and have a pH value suitable for humans – not dogs. That is also why we have a whole world of products within washing and care in the form of both shampoo, conditioner and other care and styling products. All made for dogs.

Before you can get started

Find out what type of coat your dog has, and what it needs in terms of washing and care. The minimum you need to purchase is shampoo plus conditioner, but if there are several products in the series, it can be a great advantage to include them in the wash, as products from the same series work best together.
At GroomUs, the selection of hair products consists of the brands Ashley Craig, Tauro Pro Line and SO POSH. The owner of the world-famous Ashley Craig, also called AC, is Ruthi Ashley Stern, who has carefully developed mild and gentle products for washing and caring for animals. AC has two variants of its series, each aimed at the type of coat the dog has. The quality has been revolutionary, and the series is also hypoallergenic and paraben and sulfate-free, which is why it is used all over the world for washing and caring.

As the sole distributor of SO POSH in Denmark, we are also pleased to be able to offer this quality brand, which is also for washing and caring for dogs. A lot of time has also been spent on the development of the products, to create the best washing and care for dogs - which can be quickly seen and felt. The products are safe to use for care, both for two- and four-legged friends, and gentle on the environment. Therefore, SO POSH also deserves to become part of our exclusive selection of care products.

Last but not least, you will need something to dry off with, and you will also be happy to invest in bath accessories, such as wash mitts, sponges, mixing bowls, etc. Possibly also a grooming gown or apron if you often have to wash and groom your dog.

During washing

If you have a puppy that needs to get used to being bathed or just one that doesn't like it, practice with short washes so that it becomes comfortable and used to being bathed and groomed with various items. The main rule is to always keep a close eye on the dog's well-being during the entire process of washing and grooming.

When washing your dog, use lukewarm water before rinsing the entire body, but avoid the ears and eyes, as this can be uncomfortable for the dog – use a wet cloth instead. Then massage the care products well into the fur, after which the entire process is completed according to their instructions.

Drying and care after washing

Depending on the temperature, location and plans after your dog has been bathed, you can consider which way you want to dry them. There are several options in the form of chamois leather, towel, drying blanket and/or blower.

After drying, you can move on to the next part of washing and care, which is grooming and styling. You will find everything within styling products with us. The options are many, but we try to guide with a description and explanation for each item, but if you need help or guidance, you are welcome to contact us.
