Bichon Frise (detailed introduction)

　　The Bichon Frise is very cute and looks beautiful. Many people compare the Bichon to a “marshmallow” because of its shiny snow-white fur. If the Bichon’s fur turns yellow, its image will be greatly diminished. So what to do if a Bichon’s fur turns yellow? Let’s follow little editor Boqi to take a look.

　　There is a kind of yellowish fur that cannot be changed. The Bichon’s fur is white, and there may be some light yellow or other colors around the ears, but it should not be too much. Some Bichons have fur that is not white due to impure lineage or genetic problems, which cannot be changed.

　　If your dog is still a puppy, then don’t worry too much. Generally, Bichon puppies around three months old have softer fur and the fur color is not very good; after some time they will shed and grow new fur. However, it is best not to shave the fur, as shaving can damage the Bichon’s hair follicles, so do not arbitrarily decide to shave your Bichon. Puppies’ nutrition mainly comes from mother's milk; if there is no mother's milk, you can use pet-specific goat milk powder as a substitute. Having a good body from an early age helps the fur look good.

　　Sometimes the fur color impurity in Bichons may be due to a lack of certain nutrients in the body. When feeding a Bichon, pay attention to nutritional balance: more vegetables, less meat, and providing some high-protein foods such as egg yolks can help the fur become shinier. You can also feed Bichons some hair-beautifying foods such as MAG Blueberry Essence, which has antioxidant effects; it is available on Boqi Mall.

　　Besides proper food, cleanliness is key. Many Bichons eat wet food and drink water carelessly, which over time causes the fur around their mouths to turn yellow, detracting from their appearance. Solving this problem is not difficult; it depends on the owner's diligence. Simply put, after the dog eats, the owner should not only clean the feeding bowl and water container, but also rinse the fur around the dog’s mouth with clean water and then dry it with a towel. During baths, you can buy dog-specific tea tree oil shower gel; bathing thoroughly will naturally keep the fur soft and shiny.
