FAQ +

My dog has sensitive skin. Is this shampoo suitable?

Yes. Our formulas ultra gentle and formulated specifically for dogs.

Can I use human shampoo on my dog?

No.Using a human shampoo (pH 4.8-5.8 acidic) on your dog can interrupt the dermal acid mantle making it susceptible to fungus, bacteria and yeast which can cause skin irritations and itching. A shampoo specifically formulated for dogs should have a pH of 6.8 to 7.5 (alkaline)

How often should I bath my dog?

A normal, healthy adult dog should be bathed no more than once a fortnight. Over-bathing dogs, including those with sensitive skin can strip the natural oils that protect the skin and can lead to skin irritations and itching.

•,Sensitive Dog Shampoo: Chamomile, Sweet Orange & Rosewood

Great product for all of my little seniors who have varying degrees of hair. They smell lovely and their hair feels soft and clean after a bath, and no-one suffers any reaction to using it. The bottle lasts for a lot longer than any other product I've ever purchased.

I gave this to my groomer to wash my bois, they came back so soft and shiny. No over powering smell, no nasty synthetic chemicals. I was concerned with the small bottle but the groomer has used very little. It’s good value too. Win win

Great smell!

Love the shampoo and the fab smell, only drawback is my pup’s not too keen on it (yet). I guess it’s early days as he’s only 12 weeks old and not used to getting a wash...

This is the only shampoo we have used on Bentley (Lagotto Romagnolo) who is now 5yrs . Recently we moved and changed Groomers and their shampoo created issues for Bentley , we now supply the dog including shampoo for grooming. The groomer is very impressed with all aspects of this product.

This shampoo is fantastic. If you have your own hydrobath twin tank this is the go too shampo. And with regular washing a bottle lasts ages. My dogs part malamute and hard to get right down to skin and this lathers up brilliantly. Very easy to rinse off.

Very happy with this product

I made the mistake to use a medicated shampoo too often. Wondered why my doggies are restless while I’m bathing them. So I did a bit of research and no wonder, it’s full of harmful chemicals and it was probably hurting them. I’m happy I to have come across Essential Dog Shampoo. My dogs are calm while I bath them and sitting still. The shampoo has a subtle aroma and I like the fragrance. The shampoo leaves their coat smelling good for days and it’s shiny too.

No More Itchy Doggie

After trying many shampoos trying to find one that doesn't make my Cavoodle tear herself apart afterwards I came to this. It doesn't bother her at all, she doesn't itch and she smells nice. It's a bit more than I wanted to pay but worth it in the end.

Sensitive Dog Shampoo

We have using this product on our lab who has had skin allergies and was on several medications etc, but since using this shampoo for sensitive skin combined with natural soothing and itch spray, these are now the only products we use on him. I cannot speak highly enough of these products. You can see the look of relief in our labs eyes when used on him. Also he never has that post washed dog smell that usually comes with washing a dog.
