Heat can be a challenge for our pets , affecting both their well-being and the health of their skin and coat . At ECOAustralis, we specialize in natural pet products that help protect them in hot weather. Today, we're sharing a practical guide to keeping your pet cool and comfortable using natural, scientifically backed ingredients.
1. Constant Hydration and Skin Care
It's essential to ensure your pet has access to fresh water and shade . Skin hydration is also crucial. Our quillaia, matico, and aloe vera shampoo is hypoallergenic and has moisturizing properties that keep skin healthy. This product not only cleans away dirt but also acts as a protective barrier that prevents transdermal water loss , thus preventing skin dryness .
2. Protection Against Heat and Infrared Radiation
The sun and infrared rays can cause skin irritation in pets. Our natural shampoo offers a layer of infrared protection that helps reflect some of the heat, keeping your pet safe and preventing overheating. This benefit is key to reducing the effects of heat on pets.
3. The Power of Native Plants: Quillay and its Natural Properties
The quillaja tree ( Quillaja saponaria) , part of Chile's sclerophyllous forest , has evolved to withstand hot, dry seasons. The bark of the quillaja tree contains natural saponins , known for their ability to foam and deep clean. Mapuche communities used this resource as a natural detergent . At #ECOAustralis and #VetPlant, we harness these properties to develop products that protect and nourish pets' skin and coat safely and effectively.
4. How to Use Our Quillay-Matico Shampoo
To get all the benefits of hypoallergenic natural shampoo :
- Wet your pet's coat completely with warm water.
- Apply an appropriate amount of shampoo, massaging to form a lather that covers the entire skin.
- Leave it on for a few minutes to allow the saponins to strengthen the skin barrier.
- Rinse with warm water and dry with a soft towel.
5. Comprehensive Benefits for a Healthy Life
The constant use of natural pet products , such as our quillay, matico and aloe vera shampoo , helps keep your pet's skin and coat in optimal condition, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable life , even in times of intense heat.
