Biewer naturally received a fancy, thick and rich coat. In structure, it resembles a human hair. Biewer does not have an undercoat like other breeds. His hair, just like a person`s, can absorb odors, be damaged by mechanical action, dry out and break if it`s not properly cared for.
Everyday care cosmetics for Biewer should be soft-water based, contain a minimum of parabens, silicones and other chemicals that cause dry skin and hair.
In the arsenal every owner of the Biewer should have: shampoo, conditioner, moisturizing or nourishing mask, spray for everyday combing. Some owners use perfume for their pets, but this is not necessary.
The range of cosmetics for animals is very large. Before buying a new brand, it is more advisable to purchase a sample of this cosmetics in order to exclude the possibility of an allergic reaction to a particular composition of a cosmetic product.
When we hand over a puppy to a new owner, I always give a list of cosmetics that I use for my dogs and puppies. Therefore, our puppies do not have allergic reactions.
In everyday care, infrequent usage of professional cosmetics is also possible. These can be deep cleansing shampoos, bleaching and tinting shampoos. These products are often used for heavy contaminated pets. Basically, we use such cosmetics for dog shows` preparing in order to clean the wool from dirt as much as possible and give the wool a chic shine. These shampoos have a harsher formulation that can dry out the hair and make it look unnatural.
Because of over drying, hair can become brittle, puffy and more tangled. That is why these shampoos are not used often. And after the dog show, at the same day, you need to carry out a full range of restorative procedures aimed at maximum hydration.
For pets, a minimal cosmetic set will be enough to make the Biewer Terrier look beautiful and neat. Let's take care and love our Biewer and he will always be healthy and look gorgeous.
