Tips & Tricks- Shampoo
All-Purpose Natural Enzyme Shampoo:
No Separate Conditioner Required:
- Wet hair coat thoroughly then squirt a thin line of the shampoo along the back of the pet.
- Work throughout the hair coat and into the skin with your hands. A slight lather will build.
- Work the shampoo between the pads on the feet.
- Rinse thoroughly removing all of the shampoo lather from the skin and hair coat.
- Shampoo once every 2-4 weeks.
- Follow with Epi-Pet All-Purpose Natural Treatment Spray daily or as required between shampoo baths.
A Medicated or Flea Treatment:
- Take 1-3oz (1oz for small, 2oz for medium and 3oz for large pets) of Epi-Pet All-Purpose Natural Enzyme Shampoo and heat in the microwave for 7-10 seconds.
- Apply the heated shampoo to a wet coat, work into the coat and skin and allow product to sit for 3-5 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Once towel dried, it is recommended to follow-up with Epi-Pet All-Purpose Natural Treatment Spray.
A Whitener/Brightener:
- Take 1-3oz (1oz for small, 2oz for medium & 3oz for large pets) of Epi-Pet All-Purpose Natural Enzyme Shampoo and heat in the microwave for 7-10 seconds.
- Apply the heated shampoo to a wet coat, starting with the areas that are most heavily stained and work throughout the coat and skin.
- Next use a hair dryer, on a LOW setting, for 1-3 minutes, to keep shampoo heated.
- Rinse thoroughly.
A DeSkunker:
- DO NOT APPLY WATER to the coat as this will set the skunk oil!
- Heat 4-6oz (118-177ml) of Epi-Pet All-Purpose Natural Enzyme Shampoo in the microwave for 20-25 seconds.
- Apply the heated shampoo to a DRY coat over the whole body.
- Next use a hair dryer, on a LOW setting, for 5-10 minutes to keep shampoo heated.
- When shampoo is almost dry, rinse thoroughly. When rinsing, the water will be a rust color as skunk oil is being released.
- Repeat the process again if necessary.
- Use Epi-Pet All-Purpose Natural Ear Cleaner to clean and remove skunk oil from ear canal.
- It is recommended to follow-up with Epi-Pet All-Purpose Natural Treatment Spray 1-2 times daily for 1-2 weeks to help skin recover and replace the natural oils that De-Skunking can strip from the skin and coat.
