How to choose a cat shampoo?

We know that they are very clean furry ones, who spend a good part of their time cleaning. But the truth is that if they are in very poor health they can stop cleaning, which would only make the situation worse since a cat that feels dirty can lose the will to live. Up to that point, personal hygiene (or feline, rather 🙂) is important for our friend.

But how do you choose a cat shampoo? How do you find one that really takes care of your skin and hair without causing you any allergies? 

The answer to those questions could be easy: go to a pet store to buy a shampoo specifically for cats. But sometimes it is not so simple. Especially when we have just found an abandoned cat, we often think of bathing it using our shampoo, without thinking that we could damage its skin in this way.

And it is that the pH of the skin of cats is different from ours; in fact, it is slightly acidic, whereas that of humans is rather alkaline. Only with this, we will have to find a specific shampoo. The question is, ¿Cuál?

There are for hair of all types (long or short), and with or without conditioner. To avoid allergies, I recommend that you get a natural shampoo, for example, from Aloe vera. In this way, you will ensure that your friend's skin will be very well cared for. Of course, if you can not get it, you can always choose to choose the type of shampoo according to the type of hair that your furry has.

And if he is sick, can he bathe? Not. You will only bathe if you have diarrhea and are really dirty, and only the parts of your body that are dirty, with gauze moistened in water. But if it is clean, the only thing that will be done is to clean their hair with a dry shampoo, which are powders that degrease your hair and do not need rinsing.

By the way, remember that you cannot bathe your cat very often, at most once a month and as long as he makes it clear 🙂. Anyway, here You have a series of tips to try to get your feline used to the water.
