It can be hard to know which doggy shampoo will be suitable for your dog. Just like humans, dogs have different skin and hair textures meaning what works for one dog, might not necessarily work for the next. It’s important that you find a shampoo that will both clean your pooch, but also one that won’t irritate their delicate skin. To make matters even more confusing, special shampoos are also needed to remove nasty odours (especially if your furry friend likes to roll in smelly things)! To make things simpler, here’s a breakdown of both of our Pretty Pooch shampoos, both of which are perfectly safe to use on any pooch!

Gentle Touch Shampoo

Our Gentle Touch Shampoo is perfect for all dogs (as long as they’re 6 weeks old or above)! The formula, as the name suggests, is extremely gentle and designed to be perfect for sensitive skin. This makes the bathing process a lot easier, as it takes away any worry surrounding whether the doggy shampoo will irritate your pooch’s delicate skin.

It successfully neutralises odours to leave their coats super soft and fresh-smelling! It’s also baby powder fragranced so they’re sure to smell irresistible after a nice bath. You can also use it on any dog breed or coat type, so if you have more than one pooch and they’re of different breeds, you can use this shampoo to clean both!

Animal Poo Shampoo

Does your pooch like to roll in fox poo or other smelly substances? If the answer is yes, then we’re sure you’re aware of just how hard it can be to remove animal poo and even more so the lingering, nasty smell. Our Animal Poo shampoo has been specially designed to break down the proteins found in animal poo to fully remove it from your dog’s fur! The nasty smells are then replaced with a fresh, citrus fragrance – perfect for those pooches who repeatedly roll in fox poo!

This shampoo is also perfectly safe for puppies 6 weeks and older and is designed to be gentle and kind to all breeds and fur types. If you want to find out more about why your dog may be rolling in fox poo, click here.

Freshen Ups

Your dog doesn’t need to be washed as often as you may think; in fact, it’s been recommended by professionals that you only wash your pooch once every 2-3 months! Despite what many people think, your dog doesn’t get as dirty as we do. However, you can’t beat that freshly washed smell and using our Doggy Deo spray will help to keep your pooch fresh-smelling – great for using in-between washes to keep any smelly odours at bay!

How Important is it to Find the Right Shampoo for Your Pooch?

Just like us, our pups can have extremely irritated skin (to find out more about doggy skin conditions, click here). With this in mind, the dog shampoo that you choose is really important as it can either help their skin to get better, or it can start to make it much worse. By opting for a gentle shampoo, you’re not only making your furry friend smell amazing but you’re also helping to reduce any skin irritation – even if you’re pretty sure your dog doesn’t have any, it’s always better to be on the safe side!

Some dog shampoos aren’t always suitable for puppies either. Both of our shampoos are perfectly safe to use on puppies of 6 weeks and older – proving how gentle and mild the formula is!
