Dog hair and skin Q&A

Questions and answers about dog hair and skin

The care of dogs' skin and coat (hair) is essential for their health and well-being. Each furry friend has significant differences (skin thickness, hair type, and possible allergies, among others) that are important to recognize for proper care. For this reason, we have compiled, from our social networks, various queries about real cases and questions about our healthy beauty products. Sonia Cózar, our expert dog groomer with over 17 years of experience, has shared her vast knowledge to answer your questions and recommend PSH treatments. In addition to some contributions from our team on products.

I have a chocolate brown Border Collie and I need to know if your shampoo for dark coats is suitable for her.

I recommend the Brown & Black Vibes shampoo. Suitable for sensitive skin: no dyes and with hypoallergenic perfume. Ideal for revitalizing dark coats and enhancing colors.

If a pet experiences itching after grooming, what could be the causes of the itch? What product can be used to bathe the animal and eliminate the itching?

If there is itching and no symptoms of dermatitis, I recommend first performing the Rithual Hypoallergenic treatment with shampoo and conditioner, and second, finishing with the Antipruritic Treatment spray.

If the groomer uses a basic shampoo from one brand (different from PSH) and then Yorkie Avocado or Volume as a second step, how does PSH cosmetics interact with other brands?

The active ingredients in the PSH range work 100% when used according to their instructions and independently. I am unaware of the effects that other brands may have on the skin and that may fundamentally influence the treated skin. I recommend completing the entire process with PSH solutions.

What basic shampoo and second step would you recommend for Poodles? What mask?

It depends on the finish you want. If you want to hydrate and restructure, I recommend: Aloe plus the Kera Argan nourishing treatment. If you prefer to do scissor work for a polished finish, then use Kiwi plus Extra Volume and Quina Energiser and Bioprotein.

How to treat environmental allergies? Is the Ozone pack suitable?

Yes, the Ozone pack is ideal for treating environmental allergies, because it contains natural plant extracts that counteract skin reactions.

My dog is a mix of Andalusian Rat Terrier and Terrier, with short, soft hair (on one side) and long, coarse hair (on the back). What products do you recommend for her coat care?

The Aloe Lover moisturizing treatment (with 99% pure aloe vera) may work well for her. A second option could be the Kera Argan pack, with keratin and argan oil, combined with the Aloe Lover mist.

Does the Ozone pack without the machine (PSH ozone generator) do anything? I was recommended it, bought it, and use it, but I don't know if it's having an effect or not.

Of course, everything adds up. The PSH water ozone machine optimizes the healing, germicidal, fungicidal, antibacterial, virucidal, anti-inflammatory, cleansing, and disinfecting properties of ozone. Additionally, with its use, water acquires detangling properties.

How strong is the hold of the hairspray used for show grooming of poodles? Does the spray leave a white residue?

PSH's special 021 hairspray leaves no residue, is gentle, clean, and holds results well.

I am treating an Andalusian Rat Terrier who has an allergy to Ozone products. He gets black dandruff; what is this due to?

Often, after a treatment process, the skin begins to regenerate, leading to darkening and even flaking caused by the cleaning and disinfection that is occurring from the inside out. This can be due to many factors depending on the type of "dandruff," so it may require internal supplements or attention to other causes within the organism. I would recommend you send me photographs directly for more personalized advice.

My dog scratches a lot. Her skin is clean and she doesn't have pustules, but she is exposed to the environment, which is very contaminated these days. Will Ozone Hard help her?

If she scratches a lot, we recommend combining the Antipruritic Treatment Spray with baths using the Hypoallergenic pack (shampoo + conditioner).
