How Can I Take Care of my Pet's Wrinkles?
Wrinkly dogs often come with extra needs. Their wrinkles may be cute, but they are usually more prone to skin problems, which is why it’s important to look after them.
Wrinkles can often become dirty, and moisture may build up in-between the wrinkles and skin folds. This can lead to bacterial infections and foul odours. Therefore, it’s important that wrinkly pet parents take some extra precautions when it comes to their wrinkly dogs. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with our Wrinkle range.
How Can I Clean my Pet’s Wrinkles?
Our Wrinkle Wipes are gentle, cleansing, and protecting. They remove bacterial build up, dirt and odours from in and around the wrinkles and skin folds. They are fragrance-free, making them perfect for dogs and cats with sensitive skin or allergies. Our Wrinkle Wipes come in packs of 80 and are large, making them ideal for cleaning all over the body. For smaller dogs we’ve got our Wrinkle Cleansing Wipes. These wipes are pre-soaked, biodegradable and are perfect for removing bacteria, odours and dirt from smaller skin folds and wrinkles, especially those around the face. Not only do these wipes aid in removing harmful bacteria, odours and dirt, but they can also support healing. If you don’t believe us, check out our TikTok page!
Keeping your pet clean and ensuring that you take the time to clean in-between wrinkles, skin folds and tail pockets, will ensure that your pet is kept feeling and smelling their best. Which is all that us pet pawrents really want! Right?!
For a more thorough clean the Wrinkle Shampoo is perfect. Made with a hypoallergenic fragrance, the Wrinkle shampoo is ideal for dogs and cats with sensitive skin and allergies. The shampoo can be used all over the body and around the muzzle to help remove stains, odours and bacteria from the skin and coat. For dogs and cats who aren’t a fan of traditional bathing, we’ve brought out a No-Rinse Wrinkle Shampoo for a waterless clean. The No-Rinse shampoo is fragrance-free and perfect for wrinkly skin.
Keeping the wrinkles and skin clean will help to keep your dog bacteria-free, smelling fresh and looking fantastic.
What Else Can I Do to Protect My Pet’s Wrinkles?
Keeping wrinkles, skin folds, and tail pockets clean is one of the best ways to keep them healthy. However, it’s also important to keep them dry. Ensuring moisture does not build-up in-between wrinkles, skin folds, and tail pockets will greatly reduce the chances of bacteria growing in these areas. At Bugalugs, we know this, and that’s why we have developed the Wrinkle Moisturising Cream which is fantastic at absorbing moisture and grease. Not only this, but the Moisturising Cream can create a water repellent barrier to soothe and protect wrinkles from moisture. If that wasn’t enough the moisturising cream can protect the skin under the eyes exposed to constant moisture from tearing, giving your pet a clean, clear, and irritation free coat.
In addition to this, we’ve also expertly formulated a Wrinkle Balm to provide optimal support for our wrinkly friends, whilst also helping to form a protective barrier against potential irritants. The Wrinkle Balm contains fantastic ingredients such as colloidal oatmeal, known for it’s anti-inflammatory and anti-itch benefits, and oat lipid E antioxidants including vitamin E. This balm is nourishing for the skin and coat and can be used on the nose and paws to prevent dryness and cracking. It is suitable for both cats and dogs and is fantastic on sensitive skin or on pets with allergies.
How Often Should I Groom my Wrinkly Dog?
Wrinkly dogs often require daily grooming. Daily grooming, either with Wipes or the Wrinkle Shampoo will ensure that their wrinkles are kept bacteria, odour and dirt free… because, as we know, dogs like to get themselves into the messiest of situations. Following up your daily grooming routine with the Moisturising Cream and Wrinkle Balm will help to keep your pet’s skin folds, wrinkles and tail pockets in the best condition: crack free, nourished, and protected.
