You askin’ ’bout that blue dog shampoo, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, that stuff, it ain’t all the same. My old eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I seen a thing or two ’bout washin’ dogs in my time. You gotta be careful, that’s the first thing.
Dogs, they got all kinds of fur, some got that short, slick hair, some got that long, fluffy stuff that gets tangled up faster than a ball of yarn in a basket of kittens. And their skin? Some dogs got skin that’s tougher than an old boot, but some, bless their hearts, their skin is sensitive, like a newborn babe’s. So you can’t just go slappin’ any old soap on ’em. You gotta pick the right kind. That’s where the blue dog shampoo comes in, I reckon. There are many different kinds, so it is important to pick the right one.
Now, this blue dog shampoo, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it. They say it’s good for somethin’. Maybe it’s for that itchy skin, or maybe it helps with that greasy fur. Some dogs, they get that oily coat, makes ’em look all slicked down like they been swimmin’ in a tub of lard. Ain’t nobody wants a greasy dog trackin’ dirt all over the house. They also have all kind of things, such as that itchy skin, or some other stuff. They need special shampoo.
- Some blue dog shampoo is for the itchin’.
- Some is for that greasy fur.
- Some is for when they got that flaky skin, like dandruff.
When you are going to buy this kind of shampoo, you need to read what is on the bottle. You do not want to buy some stuff that has something bad in it. Some of those things they put in there, they ain’t good for nothin’. They can make your dog’s skin all red and sore. Like ammonium laureth sulfate, that is bad, bad stuff. And make sure that bottle is closed tight. You don’t want that stuff leaking all over the place, makin’ a mess of your shelf.
You gotta watch out for them chemicals, though. Some of ’em, they can make a dog sicker than a hound dog that’s been eatin’ green persimmons. If a dog starts throwin’ up or actin’ all puny, you best get ’em to the vet quick. They say them medicated shampoos can do that sometimes. They can even mess with their blood pressure, whatever that is.
But how often do you use that blue dog shampoo? Well, you don’t wanna be washin’ your dog every day. No sir, that ain’t good for ’em. They say once a month is good enough, maybe two or three times if they get real dirty. You wash ’em too much, you’ll dry out their skin, make it all itchy and flaky.
There’s all kinds of this blue dog shampoo, though. I seen some that say they make the dog’s fur all white and shiny, like a fresh-washed sheet. But I don’t know ’bout that. Seems like you gotta ask the vet ’bout that kind, make sure it’s okay for your dog. Not all dogs is the same, you know.
So, this blue dog shampoo, it ain’t just one thing. It’s a whole bunch of things. You gotta figure out what your dog needs. Some people said this Selsun Blue is good for dogs. But I don’t know. It seems that different dogs have different problems. They may need different shampoo.
Some folks, they swear by that Earthbath stuff. I heard it’s made from all-natural ingredients, whatever that means. And there’s another one, Burt’s Bees, I think they call it. Supposed to be gentle on the skin, good for them sensitive dogs. The best one is the one that works best for your dog, I reckon. They will not be sick or feel bad. That is what matters.
You can ask your vet, that’s what they’re there for. They can tell you what kind of blue dog shampoo is best for your dog, and they can tell you how to use it, too.
- You can ask your vet what shampoo is the best.
- The vet can tell you how to use that shampoo.
- The vet can tell you if that shampoo is good for your dog.
Just remember, a clean dog is a happy dog, most of the time. But don’t go overboard with that washin’. And pick the right kind of blue dog shampoo, one that’s good for your dog’s fur and skin. And watch out for them chemicals! If you are not sure about something, go ask the vet. That’s all I got to say ’bout that.
