White is always an attractive color, whether it is clothing, interior design or four-legged friends with white fur.

Sometimes the fur of such dogs starts to turn yellow. They try to solve the problem by changing the shampoo, frequency of bathing, etc. But experts say that it is not just a matter of hygiene.

The care of a white dog must be approached in a comprehensive manner, otherwise the shades will change from yellow to pinkish, says Vladimir Golubev, head of the Russian Cynological Federation.

Reasons

A change in the color of the fur is not always due to the fact that it is dirty. Perhaps the pet has skin problems. And to prevent this from happening, you need to carefully approach the dog's diet.

On white fur, nutritional imbalances are reflected more quickly than on dark fur.

At the same time, you need to carefully monitor the health of your eyes and ears. You can be wary if bald spots suddenly start to appear, and discharge in the eyes.

What to do

1. You definitely need to buy a special shampoo for your dog, because there is a difference in the balance of alkalinity, acidity and other indicators.

2. You need to brush your pet regularly, which will promote natural renewal of the coat and help the dog look neater.

3. To finally solve the problem, you need to seek help from a veterinarian who will select a diet and help resolve the issue of unbalanced nutrition.

In any case, if you decide to get a white dog, you need to be prepared for the fact that caring for the animal will require more time than usual.
