FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHERE DO I START?

That’s a big question! Please read Dr. Faver’s message, “Getting Started with Iv San Bernard

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BATHE MY PET?

The skin cycle is about 21 days. So routine bathing should be done every 3-4 weeks.

HOW IS THE OZONE HYDRO-MASSAGE SPA DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SPA-BUBBLING EQUIPMENT?

Iv San Bernard’s ozone spa just doesn’t create bubbles, it creates the powerful, but safe, oxidizer known as ozone. Ozone is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral and can take weeks off your skin therapies.

WHAT’S THE BEST SHAMPOO FOR MY PET?

Our Traditional line (and Traditional Plus) are formulated for specific coat types: short, medium, and long. Each coat type has a specific need and our shampoos and conditioners were created with those needs in mind. Therefore, if your pet has normal, healthy skin and hair use: Short: Lemon; Medium: Banana; Long and cats: Green Apple; Senior: Green Tomato; Puppy: Talc

DO YOU HAVE PRODUCTS FOR ALLERGIES?

We recommend our Mineral Red line for pets with allergies and/or sensitive skin.

HOW MUCH PRODUCT DO I USE TO MY PET?

Our products are concentrated and should be diluted 1 part product to 3 parts water. Additionally, our bathing techniques were perfected in Italy and we teach to apply less for more time. Instead of washing all your shampoo and conditioner down the drain, apply it all over the pet and let it sit for 5 minutes. Click here for a usage guide based on coat type and size of the pet.

Product Volume
Due to the nature of our company, and because most of our orders are through an e-commerce option with shipping requirements, the Iv San Bernard products are filled to an appropriate amount that would allow safe shipping under air pressure, temperature, and handling changes. This can sometimes cause the bottle to look as if it had leaked some of the contents and is missing partial volume. Unless evidence of leakage is present, the visual content is correct. Iv San Bernard ships all over the world, and we must be able to bottle or package our products in a way that will ensure quality shipping.

HOW MUCH IS THE 5000ML JUG IN ENGLISH UNITS?

5000ml is about 1-1/3 gallon.

IS CONDITIONER REQUIRED?

Absolutely! Yes! Even the gentlest cleansing products remove the natural oils from your pet. In order to maintain good hydration for a healthy coat, you need to put back the oils you have removed. Our conditioners are humectants (they absorb into the skin to hydrate), and put back the natural oils that were lost. You will see the difference after just one bath!

DURING WHAT STAGE OF BATHING DO I USE THE OZONE HYDRO-MASSAGE SPA?

During the shampoo/cleansing phase and only with Iv San Bernard products.

WHAT KIND OF TUB DO I USE THE OZONE HYDRO-MASSAGE MACHINE IN?

Iv San Bernard sells a beautiful stainless steel tub for your salon, however, you can use a Rubber Maid tub, as long as you can fit enough water and the pet, inside (don’t forget to create a drain).

DO YOU HAVE MEDICATED SHAMPOOS?

We have natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic shampoos that do not contain alcohol.

MY DOG HAS BEEN SPRAYED BY A SKUNK! WHAT DO I DO?

ARE IV SAN BERNARD PRODUCTS SAFE IF THEY GET INTO MOUTH/EYES?

Yes. However they are not meant for humans and may be detrimental if used continuously for that purpose.
