A CHANGE OF COSMETICS THAT TURNS OUT TO BE COMPLICATED?

You have just switched to Special One and.....

oh surprise, two days after the first bath... the coat seems to be suffering; it is starting to tangle and felt.....

This happens to us occasionally—fortunately, quite rarely—but almost always after using certain other cosmetic brands.... And yes, there is no coincidence....

An attempt at an explanation: the "dark side" of certain products (and the price you paid for these products does not guarantee that this does not concern your animals)

Imagine that every morning, you have coffee to wake yourself up (Oh, oh! I’ve just found several of you!). Every single morning. Without exception.

It’s definitely the coffee! It wakes you up, and if you drink it black, it may even have antioxidant properties!

But.

Imagine that one morning, when your alarm clock didn’t go off, you don’t have time to drink your coffee (and no time to make a quick stop at Tim Hortons either)! I can practically guarantee that you’ll be tired, impatient, irritable… grumpy?

Why? Because you and your body have developed a dependence on it. It’s proven: you develop a dependence on caffeine and its “instant wake-up” effects.

Maybe not everyone… But some people will unfortunately have to admit that this is a genuine fact.

It’s the same principle for your animal’s skin and coat. If, after every bath and every spritz of detangling spray that you conscientiously apply several times a week, they end up covered in a protective layer of silicone—going so far as to forget what wind, cold, sun, and all other external aggressions are like—they develop a kind of laziness, a protective dependence. Without it, the skin-and-coat duo no longer knows how to self-regulate, manage its porosity, or control its moisture level. You have just understood why the coat now seems to be suffering.... it is demanding its dose of protective coating, its dose of silicone.

Two solutions are available to you... either, for convenience, you return to your previous brand (and yes... this will immediately relieve the skin and coat), or you decide to take a step forward in the quality of your grooming and in your cosmetic choices.
