How to keep a white haired dog clean

Brushing your Dog

Frequently brushing your dog is a great way to keep white fur looking its best.  This loosens up any dirt before it has a chance to stain. Experts agree that when you have a white dog, a quick daily brushing is one of the best defenses against grime. We have two brushes that making daily brushing a breeze. The one that is right for you will depend on the type of coat your white dog has.The Firm Flexible Head Brush is perfect for thick, coarse, wooly, or cottony coats. The Medium Flexible Head Brush is great for medium or soft coats and fine curly, wavy or fleecy coats.

Bathe Your Dog

Many white haired dog owners believe that the key to snow white fur is frequent bathing.  However, you do not want to bathe any dog too often, so be careful not to schedule a dog bath or grooming appointment more than once per month, unless necessary.  Frequent baths can lead to problems.  Then, about once per month, use a high quality shampoo.

For white-colored dogs, we recommend our Whitening & Brightening Shampoo.This pH balanced breakthrough formula is enriched with Swiss Chamomile, Aloe Vera, Pro-Vitamin B5, and natural brighteners. Based on our proprietary Opti-Bright® technology, this whitening shampoo for dogs penetrates the hair shafts to counteract the yellowing from the sun and elements, producing a sparkling show-white coat. In addition, the nourishing and moisturizing blend of fine natural botanical extracts removes coat dullness and produces a spectacular lustrous shine.

Carefully take care of your white dog’s mouth and eye area

Be careful of bleaching techniques that can be harmful to sensitive skin.  Instead, have a few soft washcloths dedicated to this cause that you keep in a specific spot so you remember to gently clean the eyes in the morning, as well as the beard/muzzle area after meals or trips outside.
