- Read on and discover several tricks to make the dog’s fur shine.
It is proven that the application of non-alcoholic beer to the dog’s fur at the end of the bath improves its shine because it nourishes the hair bulb and softens the root of the hair.
This process should be performed after bathing the dog and then applying the beer through a sponge, letting it act on the dermis and its fur for about 3 to 4 minutes. After this time, thoroughly clean with water. If you don’t do it right, the hair will be sticky.
It is a simple and economical method, as long as the dog is not too big and with very long hairs. For example, you shouldn’t use this trick home with an Afghan greyhound. In this case, prefer the lanolin trick.
Lanolin is a natural fat of sheep’s wool. It can be purchased from pharmacies and health food stores. There is natural lanolin and lanolin anhydrous. The first one smells of wool and the second one is deodorized.
To prepare the fluid you will apply to the dog’s fur, you should proceed as follows:
Perform a process identical to that of beer: when bathing the dog, and before rinsing it, apply the liquid throughout the body except the head. After 5 minutes, wash the dog with plenty of warm water.
Egg yolk is another totally natural product that we can use to make the dog’s fur shine. To do this, follow the process below:
It is important to know that the rest of the mixture should be thrown away, so that it never stays. As for the application, you have to do exactly the same thing you did with beer: clean the animal well after five minutes of exposure to the effects of egg yolk.
It is a very expensive product, but effective. Musk rose oil can be purchased in pharmacies, drugstores, health food stores and some supermarkets.
It is a product that is used to remove wrinkles from human skin and to thoroughly cleanse the snout and eye sockets of dogs (taking great care not to reach the eyes). We do not recommend the use of rosehip oil on all dog hairs, even if they are small.
However, for facials, it is an excellent product, as it is used little. Simply pour two or three drops into a cotton used for makeup. After spreading it throughout the area of the face, let it act uncleaned to make its effects more beneficial.
It is also good for sores, scars and skin problems. Prolonged use of this oil illuminates exposed skin and hair.
Keratin is a protein with high sulfur content. It is the basis of human and animal hair, as well as hoofs and nails. It can be found in liquid form and used as rosehip oil, but throughout the animal’s body using a makeup disc.
However, we do not recommend direct use of this product, as there are preparations and shampoos on the market that contain that element with more balanced usage ratios.
