There is a common belief that pets can be bathed using dishwashing detergent.
It is not known who launched this “duck” and when, but the myth spread at the speed of light.
Moreover, it has become so ingrained in the collective consciousness of pet owners that until recently it was believed that such a water procedure was absolutely harmless for cats and dogs.
The delusion is serious. But where did it come from, what is at its basis?
It is possible that they began to think this way after learning that rescuers often use dishwashing liquid in certain situations.
In particular, this method is used to remove oil from seal skins or bird feathers.
Now imagine what such a remedy, used in such serious cases, can do to an ordinary dog or cat?
It will dry out your pet's skin very much. And he will suffer.
Moreover, “chemicals” that get on their skin can pose a serious threat to their health.
Experts recommend using a special shampoo for animals when bathing your four-legged little brothers.
Only in the most extreme cases – very, very carefully – is it permissible to use dish soap once.
Cynologists point out that no more than a few drops are needed.
Moreover, they add, it will take at least ten minutes to wash off these drops.
