How to Use Pet Wipes to Keep Your Dog and Cat Clean
How to Use Pet Wipes for Clean Dogs and Cats?
How to choose wet wipes for pets? How to choose good wet wipes for cats and dogs at home? In our daily life, we often purchase wet wipes to clean our body parts or the home environment. Wet wipes bring great convenience to our lives. With the gradual increase of pet-owning families and the development of the pet industry, cleaning products for both humans and pets have gradually become homogenized.
Can human wet wipes be used for pets? The answer is no. The main reason is that the skin thickness and pH level of humans and pets such as cats and dogs are different. Secondly, pets are more sensitive to components such as alcohol and fluorescent agents.
The skin thickness varies: The average skin thickness of cats and dogs does not exceed 1 mm. The thickness of an adult's scalp is approximately 1.476 mm, the thickness of the skin on the cheeks is about 1.533 mm, and the thickness of the skin on the nose is approximately 2.040 mm. That is to say, the skin of cats and dogs is on average much thinner than that of adults, and thus is more fragile (Yang Ting, Shi Rongying. 2021).
The pH level of the skin varies: Generally, the pH value of adult skin is stable at around 5.5, which is weakly acidic. The pH value of pet skin is between 6.8 and 7.4. Wet wipes will have their pH values as close as possible to those of different target users to minimize damage to the skin's pH level. Therefore, given that the pH values of dogs and cats are different from those of humans, pets should not use human wet wipes.
The sensitivity of ingredients varies: Due to the difference in skin thickness, dogs and cats are more sensitive. Some ingredients in human wet wipes, such as alcohol, can damage the protective film on the surface of pets' skin. Low-concentration alcohol can play a role in sterilization and disinfection. However, if wet wipes with a high alcohol concentration are used for a long time, as alcohol will take away the moisture from the skin, it is very easy to make the skin dry. Sensitive skin may have an allergic reaction to alcohol.
At present, there are various types of pet wet wipes on the market. How to choose a good and safe wet wipes?
① Component
The main component of general pet wet wipes is water, combined with some mild ingredients such as plant extracts and surfactants. It should be noted that pet wet wipes must not contain alcohol, fluorescent agents, bleach, formaldehyde or other ingredients that may cause significant irritation to the pet's skin.
②pH value
Since the pH value of a pet's skin is between 6.8 and 7.4, the pH value of the solution in pet wipes should also be as close as possible to this range to reduce damage to the pet's skin caused by the difference in acidity and alkalinity. The pH value data of wet wipes can be inquired with the brand. Generally, there will be a third-party test report.
③ Function
There are a wide variety of pet wet wipes on the market. The majority are moisturizing or wiping care wet wipes, and there are also some that emphasize sterilization functions. You can choose wet wipes that are suitable for your pet and daily needs by comparing the selling points of the product packaging.
④ Professionalism
For wet wipes with special sterilization functions, considering the addition of some sterilization ingredients, it is necessary to ask the pet whether there is any harm in licking them. Professional brand owners will have third-party test reports on oral non-toxicity, non-irritation to the skin, and sterilization rate, etc.
Recently, NovaGreen has launched a new pet care wet wipe. In terms of ingredients, pH value, functions and professionalism, it is a reliable pet wet wipe.
