Dry Skin in Pets

The number one reason for dry skin in pets is a cheap diet- food filled with fillers instead of good wholesome nutritious ingredients. Try to avoid corn or corn by products as the first few ingredients and your pets skin care may improve and actually be less itchy!

A good anti itch source is Doogie Soak- by Castle Baths http://www.castlebaths.com/doggiesoak.htm

Doggie Soak is made from dead sea salt- and it is amazing!

If your dog suffers from rashes and itches a lot, Doggie Soak's antiseptic properties will treat the rashes and reduce the itchiness. The lemongrass and Lavender really adds to this blend!

And guess what- Your dog won't have dry, scaly skin since the Dead Sea Salt in Doggie Soak simultaneously moisturizes as it heals the skin. Even if your dog has sensitive skin, Doggie Soak will work without any harmful effects. Again- it is amazing!

Here is how it works:

• Because Doggie Soak deep cleanses the pores of your dog's skin, it is able to rejuvenate and regenerate skin cells.
  
• Doggie Soak is also able to restore your dog's skin if it has been damaged by chemicals and grass allergies.
  
• It also treats chronic dog eczema, hot spots and psoriasis.
  
• To get the most benefit from Doggie Soak, you can add essential oils to your dog's salt bath.
  

So whether your dog has skin problems (e.g., dog eczema, hot spots or psoriasis) or you just want to maintain your dog's good skin, a Doggie Soak will do him good.

Ok- don't forget- remove the corn fed diet too! Most important:-)

Giving Persian Cat Baths and Combing

Purrinlot recommends that Persian cat baths be given monthly, or weekly for show cats. This combined with regular combing will help your Persian cat grow longer, fluffier fur. Combing of the ruff, underarms, and the spot behind the ears should be done daily. However, a complete combing is only necessary weekly. Failure to do regular Persian cat baths and combings will result in your cat having greasy hair, though it may not be readily apparent at first glance.

Before you give a Persian cat bath, you should always comb out any knots you find in the cat's fur and de-grease the cat's fur. Purrinlot recommends Goop for cat de-greasing. Goop is applied to all of the Persian cat's fur, except for the face. You then place your Persian cat in the sink (where you have good control over your cat) and use warm water to rinse the goop off.

There are a few things to keep in mind when shampooing your Persian cat. First, the shampoo you choose for your Persian cat baths should be appropriately matched to the color of your Persian cat's fur. Second, gently lather the shampoo with water as you pour it on the cat. Finally, it is critical that you thoroughly rinse the shampoo out of the cat's fur.

Shampoo Bubbles and Cancer in Pets

What creates Bubbles- chemicals, detergents, ect. These same ingredients that create bubbles in your shampoo products are the same chemical added to products to clean dirt from the garage floor.

Manufactures have created 2 things today in the shampoo and cosmetic world to brainwash the consumer.

1. the better the bubble- the better the clean &

2. the pretty smell helps it clean better.

Both are 100% false! when it comes to bubbles- the more it bubbles- the harsher the product is and the drier it will leave the skin and hair. These same harsh chemicals also cause and contribute to cancer.

Natural products without added suds can also bubble- but you will notice a huge difference in the fluffiness, creaminess and size of the bubble. most are much smaller, and have a short life span - dissipating pretty quickly.

Most of the lather you see in Natural Products are derived from Coconut Oil- the more coconut- the more bubble, still short life spanned. However, Coconut can be very drying to the skin and hair, when added as high ingredients.

At Castle Baths- we use none of the harsh detergents cancer causing ingredients in our products. However, we also use Coconut Oil limited and portioned properly with other oils. This keeps it from drying your skin and Hair out.

The first thing you will notice when using The Anna Healthy Coat Ph Shampoo- it has very low lather. You Ask why no bubbles? Is it really getting all the dirt and grease cut from the coat?

We made Healthy Coat pH Shampoo low lather like this on purpose! No chemicals to dry out your precious Persian coat fur and an easier rinse for you. Everything in the formula is designed around the Persian coat and keeping it looking and feeling the healthiest possible.

Persian Cats absorb the shampoo in their fur much like a sponge does water- causing the rinse cycle to take a very long time to get it rinsed correctly. Our Healthy Coat shampoo- is anti residual formula rinses easy and quickly:-) Now aren't you glad we are looking out for you, and your Persian Kitty:-)

Ok- real quick- let's address scent (more in another blog note later) the more scent in the product used on your pet- the more irritant to them- they don't like those's scents to cover odor- they also don't like the smell of perfumes, and smokers. They want to smell neutral or like themselves- natural.

TIP: Catnip Spray

Dilute Essential Oil of Catnip with water- shake and spray on beds and toys and watch the kitties go nuts. Well, most of them will. Catnip tends to work more so on some cats and even more so on adult males.

Recipe: 10 drops catnip spray to 10 oz of water. You can make this as strong as 1 oz of oil to 12 oz of water...so play with this and see what scent drives your kitty nuts:-)

Did you know catnip spray soothes a tummy ache for a human and makes a cat in season speak up a little louder.

At Castle Baths™, we like to grow it fresh and during the summer- pack pillows with the fresh leaves and flowers for the cats. They have a summer blast!
