CsV Coat Care

hi, avoid bathing wolfdog with shampoos. My wolfdog loves to swim in water and she can swim also in winter due to her good coat. So to help shedding, just let your dog swim in a clean (= not smelling, but it can be muddy, just normal water in nature) and that is enough, it helps the coat to loosen the dead hair.

What helped me when my dog was very smelly was bathing her not with shampoo but with female hygiene soap (with low pH below 5.0 if possible) - it helped the smell a lot but didn't take out the oils, as I didn't need to use much of it.

My dog was last time bathed with shampoo a year ago. A day before yesterday I had a not so rare possibility to take my shoes off, step into a little stream, take my dog together and wash the cow's shit out of her coat

(I had to walk many km's from the place we were at the moment to my home - by feet and through all the city

) About three hours after washing cow's shit out of Brukne's coat in stream, a man in a street, interested in that beautiful creature was huging her and very surprised, she has no smell at all

The most important part of the wolfdog's coat care is... vacum cleaning your home about every other day and shaking the sheets well before putting them into the washing mashine
