All dogs skin is sensitive. Sure some are more robust, but if your dog is particularly difficult to bath because you worry about irritation, then Vets have come up with a formula that have solved this problem for many dog owners.

It is so sensitive it will actually relieve a lot of dry skin and itchiness issues that occur in many canines.

It even softens dry skin and has a nice scent. Safe for puppies and fine if it gets in and around the eyes, this is a good all round dog shampoo.

Best Dog Shampoo - What to look for?

Natural Ingredients

Firstly, you want a shampoo that has as many natural ingredients as possible. Dogs hair or fur can be very sensitive and the less chemicals and nasties that can be in contact with it, the better. Natural ingredients are always priorities in dog grooming.

Sensitive

You want a shampoo that is as soft as possible on your dog to not cause any irritation. It is perfectly normal for your dog to shake itself a lot and even itch a little as it comes to terms with what has just happened (not all dogs are a fan of bathing!).

Some shampoos are tailored especially for dogs with sensitive skin, and some even come in a waterless no rinse formula if your dog is particularly averse to getting wet.

Scent

Also, you want a shampoo that cleans, but also smells nice. Undoubtedly your dog with have that faint dog smell still underlying, but there is no harm in finding one that also smells fresh.

Conclusion

We like any shampoo that is sensitive because all dogs can use it, and if you can find one that is cruelty free then all the better. Some of the brands have specialist shampoos for white dogs as well as dogs that need a particularly gentle bathing experience.

All of the above should be kind to your dog's skin, as well as your wallet.
