Dry Dog Shampoo | Made in the USA

Dry dog shampoo is a waterless grooming solution designed to cleanse your dog's coat without the need for traditional bathing. It typically comes in powder or foam form and contains ingredients that absorb oil and reduce smells. You can simply apply and massage it into your dog's fur, followed by brushing or wiping away the residue.

Yes, dry dog shampoo is generally safe for your dog's skin and coat when used as directed. However, it's important to choose a high-quality product specifically formulated for dogs, as human shampoo or certain ingredients may cause irritation. Powder options tend to be safer. Look for organic certified products that clearly detail ingredients. Avoid products that mask ingredients with descriptions such as “natural fragrances,” “proprietary blend…,” “mild cleansing agents,” or “moisturizing agents.” Such ingredient group descriptions are intended to mask very toxic substances such as phthalates.  Always, read product labels and consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns.

The frequency of using dry dog shampoo depends on your dog's lifestyle, coat type, and personal preferences. It's generally safe to use once or twice a week or as needed for touch-ups.

When used as directed, dry dog shampoo is generally safe. However, some dogs may be sensitive to certain ingredients. Also, some dry shampoos such as those in foam are often made with propellants, like butane which are harmful for your dog.

Always read and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Dry dog shampoo formulated for puppies can be used as a gentle alternative to traditional bathing.

To apply dry dog shampoo, gently massage the powder into your dog's coat, targeting areas that need cleaning. Use your hands, a brush, or a towel to distribute the product evenly. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, and then brush or wipe away the residue. Follow the specific instructions provided by the product manufacturer for best results.
