Showing your Peruvian guinea pig can be exciting and fun. It can also be stressful as there are a lot of steps to take to prepare for a show. One of the first things you need to do is bathe your Peruvian guinea pig. If you’re unsure what shampoo to use, talk to your vet about which products work best for your particular cavy. It’s recommended that you bathe your cavy one week before the show if he has short hair and up to two weeks before the show if he has long hair. Some experts recommend a dip for your cavy as well to prevent lice or lice eggs from developing in the coat. Consult your veterinary clinic Atlanta, GA if you are going to dip your cavy. Next, make sure your cavy’s nails are trimmed. De-greasing the grease glands located on the rump of your cavy is also recommended.
