The Best Natural Shampoo for Dogs

Choosing the best natural shampoo for your dogs’ skin and coat can depend on a few factors. First things first dog fur is not the same as human hair. The PH level of dog fur & skin in general ranges between 5.5 and 7.5, whereas human hair tends to be lower. This means although you may have used shampoo made for humans on your dog it’s not actually that good for their fur and skin.

Factors to Consider when choosing a dog shampoo.

The age of your dog – are they a puppy or senior?
The type of fur – short coat, long fur, or hairless dogs.
Allergies – is your dog allergic to any ingredients?

Once you’ve decided the best type of shampoo needed for your dog you can then look at the natural alternatives available.

Natural shampoo for dogs ingredients

When selecting natural ingredients suitable for dogs you need to know the chemicals that you are best avoiding. These can be:

• Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
• Paraben
• Phthalates
• Alcohol

Your dog’s shampoo should be PH balanced and contain as many natural ingredients as possible. Look for natural dog shampoos that contain mild cleansing ingredients, which are also easy to rinse out. Also, consider natural moisturising ingredients that can help with dry or itchy skin such as coconut or oatmeal.
