Understanding Your Dog's Skin and Coat Needs

Before selecting products, it’s important to understand your dog’s skin and coat type. Whether your pet has a long, silky coat, a short and smooth coat, or sensitive skin, Telltails has a product tailored for their specific needs. Knowing this can help you choose the right shampoo and conditioner, ensuring the best care for your dog.

Selecting the Right Grooming Products

Choosing the correct grooming products is crucial for effective care:

• 5 IN 1 DOG SHAMPOO COMPLETE COAT CARE:

A versatile shampoo designed to clean, condition, moisturize, detangle, and deodorize—ideal for maintaining a healthy, shiny coat.

• CONDITIONER:

Perfect for following up after any shampoo, it helps to smooth and detangle fur, making it soft and manageable.

Step-by-Step Grooming Process Using Telltails Products

1. Bathing with Shampoo:

• Wet your dog's coat with lukewarm water to open up the pores and prepare the skin for cleaning.
• Apply the 5 IN 1 DOG SHAMPOO, working up a lather to deeply cleanse the coat and skin. This shampoo not only cleans but also conditions and enhances coat health.
• Rinse thoroughly to prevent any residue that might irritate the skin or lead to dandruff.

2. Applying Conditioner:

• After shampooing, while the coat is still wet, liberally apply Telltails Conditioner. This step is crucial for dogs with longer or tangle-prone fur.
• Allow the conditioner to sit for a few minutes to deeply penetrate and nourish the fur and skin.
• Rinse thoroughly, ensuring no product remains as this could attract dirt or cause matting.

3. Addressing Specific Needs:

• If your dog has itchy skin or dandruff, incorporate specialized products like the Anti-itch combo or Dandruff combo into your routine. These products are formulated to target and alleviate discomfort, promoting skin health.

4. Finishing Touches:
   

• For daily care, especially after outdoor activities, apply Paw Balm to protect and heal your dog's paws. This keeps them soft and prevents cracking.
