The Chris Christensen White on White Whitening Shampoo for Dogs is Chris Christensen's whitening shampoo for dogs: an optic brightening treatment that lifts yellow tone out of a white or cream coat without bleaching it.
Key Features
- Optic brightener rather than a bleach or a dye - it corrects yellow cast instead of stripping colour out.
- Chris Christensen states it contains no bleaching agents and no softening agents.
- Works on white and cream coats, and brightens darker coats rather than changing their colour.
- Contains hydrolysed keratin protein, aloe vera and chamomile alongside the cleansing base.
- Used undiluted, straight onto the coat - unlike the SmartWash50 concentrates.
- 473 ml bottle.
- Made in the USA.
How To Use
- Use it after your usual Chris Christensen shampoo rather than instead of it.
- Apply undiluted to the wet coat and work into a full lather.
- Leave it on for 2 to 10 minutes depending on how porous and how heavily stained the coat is.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear.
Good To Know
- An optic brightener works by putting light back into the coat, not by removing pigment. It will not turn a cream coat white, and it will not lighten a dark one.
- Tear staining, saliva staining and urine staining have causes underneath them. If the staining keeps coming back, look at tear drainage, food, water and skin folds, and ask your vet - a whitening shampoo only treats what is already in the coat.
- Avoid the eyes. If any gets in, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water. For external use only.
- If your pet has sensitive skin or has reacted to a product before, test a little on a small patch first and stop using it if you see redness, itching or scurf.
- Rinse until the water runs completely clear. Shampoo left in the coat is one of the most common causes of itching after a bath.
- Dry thoroughly - skin folds, ears, armpits and between the toes. A coat left damp in UAE humidity is how hot spots and yeast get started.
- Washing too often strips the coat of the oils that protect it. Most dogs need a bath every four to eight weeks unless your vet has said otherwise.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- This is a grooming product, not a treatment. Persistent itching, scratching, hair loss, scabs, a smell or a rash point to a skin problem - fleas, allergies, mites or infection - and need a vet rather than a different shampoo.
