Do you want the best care for your Sphynx cat?
We show you the 3 steps you must follow to achieve it
1. BATHING
- Bathing is essential to maintain our cat's hygiene, eliminate bad odors, and remove excess grease.
- Conditioner will restore skin hydration and prevent the body from over-secreting oil.
- When we cannot bathe or our cat rejects water, we can perform a dry cleaning with damp cleaning gloves.
Shampoo
Artero 4cats Shampoo is highly respectful of the skin and coat. Suitable for all coat types.
Conditioner
Super-moisturizing conditioner Artero Mascarilla 4Cats Vital for caring for the coat of all types of cats.
Hygiene Gloves
The Artero Plis Plas 4CATS gloves, ideal for daily use and disposal to maintain pet cleanliness.
2. HYGIENE
- Ear hygiene is fundamental. Removing earwax (cerumen) and keeping the ear canals clean and ventilated will prevent possible infections and itching.
- The buildup of eye discharge (sleep/gunk) and dirt in the nose is common; cleaning these areas with finger cots (wipes) almost daily will be essential.
- Having a breath freshener for cats with bad breath can help with coexistence.
Dips Finger Cots for Ears
For proper ear hygiene, we will use Dips Finger Cots for Ears. These remove earwax (cerumen) and dirt from the external ear area.
Dips Finger Cots for Eyes
To remove tear stains and other secretions from the ocular area, we will use Dips 4CATS Finger Cots.
Bad Breath Spray
The Artero X-Mint will help us prevent bad breath in our pet, also protecting their teeth.
Ear Cleaner
The Artero Oto is the gel we will use to clean our cat's ear canals; it is easy to apply and removes excess wax and dirt.
Repair Cream
We will use Artero Dfender to cover, moisturize, and heal different dry areas on our pet, such as the paw pads or nose.
What is the Sphynx Cat Like?
- Origin: Canada.
- Characteristics: Hairless (though may have a fine layer of fuzz), wrinkled skin.
- Personality: Very affectionate, needs warmth in winter and frequent cleaning.
Although it has no visible hair, the Sphynx requires a more demanding hygiene routine than other breeds. Its skin produces more oil (grease), which can cause dirt and bad odor if not controlled.
Frequent cleaning is recommended with alcohol-free wipes or baths with specific gentle cleansing gels for hairless skin.
Furthermore, it may require light moisturizers to prevent dryness.
