Natural mask for dogs and cats - Animal Ayurveda Beauty & Health Herb. Created from organically grown, certified herbs used in Ayurveda, the oldest traditional healing system originating from the Indian subcontinent, recognized by the WHO. Its main goal is a holistic approach to health, where treatment focuses not only on resolving health issues but also on prevention and disease avoidance. 

The Beauty & Health Herb herbal mask for pets is a true SPA ritual, focused on a beautiful, radiant appearance of your pet as well as the health and proper functioning of the skin. Its action is based on the properties of powdered Cassia leaves (Cassia auriculata) and Neem. The mask cleanses the skin and coat of sebum, dead skin cells, and old keratin that cannot be washed away with a regular shampoo. As a result, the skin is free from all deposits - often even invisible ones - that serve as a breeding ground for bacteria, potentially causing infections, inflammation, or unpleasant odor. Skin microcirculation is improved, leading to better transport of nutrients to the hair follicles. The product promotes new hair growth, reduces breakage and shedding. Moreover, the coat becomes light and fluffy, full of volume (without excessive fluffiness) and shine, and is easy to detangle. Just a few minutes are enough to achieve excellent grooming results lasting for weeks. 

The green Beauty & Health Herb mask is suitable for all skin types in dogs and cats, including very dry, sensitive, and irritation-prone skin. It can also be used on ferrets and other small domestic animals (mammals). It is safe for pets even if licked off. It is also excellent for cleaning teeth - it helps prevent bad breath and periodontal disease.

Beauty Oil enhances and amplifies the effects of the green masks from Animal Ayurveda, together creating a true SPA ritual focused on hydration and a beautiful coat appearance. Its action is based on the properties of powdered Cassia leaves and Neem, cardamom, and sesame and cottonseed oils. Rich in generous amounts of nutrients and vitamin E, known for its rejuvenating properties. It excellently moisturizes and smooths both the hair and skin of your pet. It provides a beautiful finish to the coat, makes detangling easier, helps tame unruly strands, and eliminates static. Suitable for all skin and coat types, except for coats prone to oiliness.

The ingredients used in the mask and oil come from Indian farms specializing in the cultivation of medicinal plants, holding ECOCERT and USDA certification, confirming the safety and quality of agricultural products and their cultivation without the use of chemicals. The raw materials in Animal Ayurveda products do not contain synthetic chemical pesticides, herbicides, chemical preservatives, food irradiation, or genetically modified plants.

How to use the natural Animal Ayurveda Beauty Oil.

• Beauty Oil + Animal Ayurveda Beauty & Health Herb: this combination works great for grooming pets with long coats, e.g. Chihuahua, Dachshund, Pomeranian, and Papillon. Adding the oil to the mask provides a beautiful, smooth, and glossy finish without static. For dogs with curly coats, e.g. Poodles or Bichon Frises, the oil makes detangling easier and reduces the tendency to mat.
• Beauty Oil + Animal Ayurveda Moisture Health Herb: this combination provides a double dose of hydration, especially recommended for very dry skin and dull coats. It reduces itching and alleviates symptoms of dry dandruff caused by dryness, keratinization, and flaking of the skin. Also suitable for dogs with white coats or pets whose coat needs softening.
• Beauty Oil + Animal Ayurveda Doctor's Health Herb: although this mask is recommended especially for dogs with oily skin and coat, which do not need the addition of oil, it can be used when dealing with a combination coat. In this case, mix the Doctor's Health Herb mask with water. Apply this mixture to the oily areas of the body, and where the coat needs hydration, apply the mask mixed with the oil.

Directions for use:

• Preparing the mask: pour warm water (40-50°C) into a sealable container, then add the powdered herbs. Always add the powder to the water, not the other way around - if you add the herbs first, lumps will form and you will not be able to achieve a smooth paste. Add the appropriate amount of Beauty Oil. Seal the container tightly and shake vigorously 20-30 times until the contents are mixed. Leave for approximately 5-10 minutes to allow the ingredients to activate and the mixture to cool down. A properly prepared mask should have a pancake batter consistency. If too thin, it will run off; if too thick, it will be difficult to rinse out. For long or very dense coats, the mask should have a slightly thinner consistency to make application easier. The information provided in the table is approximate - depending on the amount of coat and hair length, decrease or increase the amount of mask prepared.

• Before application: thoroughly brush out the coat and wash the pet with a suitable shampoo. A deep-cleansing or degreasing shampoo is the optimal choice. Properly degreased skin and coat will make rinsing the mask out easier. If possible, bathe the dog in a SPA tub with a bubble bath. This will further cleanse the skin and open the pores, allowing the mask's ingredients to work more effectively. 
• Application: apply the mask to the dog's entire body, making sure to cover both the skin and coat, and do not forget the muzzle (for Pugs and other breeds with wrinkled skin, remember to work the mask into the folds). For dense coats, part the hair with your fingers to work the mask into the skin. Gently massage for approximately 1-2 minutes (if the pet has a coat prone to oiliness or unpleasant odor, leave it on for up to 10 minutes). The mask is safe for pets if swallowed, so you can also use it to clean the teeth.
• Rinsing: place the dog in a small tub or bathing bucket, then pour in warm water. Rinse off the mask, gently massaging the entire body, paying attention to the areas around the ears, under the armpits, and on the paws. Repeat the rinsing, changing the water 2 to 3 times in the bucket, until the color washes away. This method makes it easier to rinse the mask off than using a shower. Additionally, soaking the dog in a warm herbal bath allows the active ingredients of the mask to penetrate deep into the skin. You can wash the dog with shampoo afterward, but this is not necessary. Finally, apply your favorite conditioner to the coat and dry as usual.
