FAQs About The Best Dog Shampoo & Conditioner
At Wild For Dogs, we're proud to offer a premium range of organic dog grooming products that are as gentle on your dog as they are on the planet. Our best-selling shampoo and conditioner duo is the most effective to care for a dog's skin that is prone to irritation and sensitivity - and is often a perfect alternative to medicated shampoo from the vet.
Can You Use Human Shampoo on Dogs?
While it might be tempting to reach for your own shampoo in a pinch, using human shampoo on dogs is not recommended. A dog’s skin has a different pH balance than ours, and using products formulated for humans can disrupt their natural barrier, leading to dryness, irritation, or even infection.
That’s why it’s essential to use a specially formulated dog shampoo for dogs - like our So Fresh So Clean Dog Shampoo, designed with natural, skin-loving ingredients to effectively cleanse without stripping or irritating the skin and coat. For the best dog shampoo experience, always choose one created specifically for canine skin that avoids harmful ingredients. This blog will give you more details on what to avoid.
Can I Use Baby Shampoo on My Dog?
Baby shampoo is often marketed as gentle, but that doesn’t mean it’s right for your pup. (We'd even debate whether most of them are very gentle at all!) While it's less harsh than typical human shampoos, it’s still not designed for the unique needs of canine skin.
Our dog shampoo and conditioner range is made with ultra-mild, organic ingredients that are far better suited for dogs - especially those with sensitive or allergy-prone skin. If you're looking for the best dog shampoo for dogs that offers both cleanliness and comfort, our natural formulas are a much safer and more effective choice than any baby shampoo.
Can You Use Dog Shampoo on Cats?
Not all dog shampoos are safe for cats, especially if they contain essential oils, medicated ingredients, or fragrances that can be toxic to felines. If you're considering using a dog shampoo or conditioner on a cat, always check the label or consult your vet first.
Our So Fresh So Clean Dog Shampoo is formulated specifically for dogs, using ingredients that nourish and support canine skin and coat health. We do not recommend using it on cats unless explicitly cleared by a veterinary professional.
What Makes Ours the Best Dog Shampoo and Conditioner?
When it comes to grooming your dog, we know you want products that do more than just clean. Our So Fresh So Clean Dog Shampoo and Super Soft Dog Conditioner are carefully crafted using high-quality, natural ingredients that soothe sensitive skin, restore shine, and support overall coat health - making them a go-to for anyone seeking the best dog shampoo and conditioner on the market.
Our dog shampoo is packed with gentle, skin-loving botanicals like Lavender Essential Oil, a natural cleanser and insect repellent, and Aloe Vera, known for its calming and hydrating properties. We also use Argan Oil and Apricot Kernel Oil, which nourish dry skin and add deep, healthy shine to the coat. Extracts like Nettle Leaf provide vital minerals and antioxidants that support healthy skin barrier function, making this one of the best dog shampoo for dogs with itchiness, irritation, or seasonal allergies.
Pair it with our Super Soft Dog Conditioner, an ultra-hydrating formula enriched with Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, and Willow Bark Extract - a gentle exfoliant with anti-inflammatory properties. Cedarwood Essential Oil gives the conditioner its warm, grounding scent while helping to naturally repel fleas and ticks. This deeply nourishing conditioner for dogs works to detangle, soften, and restore moisture, making it an essential step for dogs with longer or coarser coats.
How to Naturally Protect from Fleas and Ticks
Protecting your dog from fleas and ticks doesn’t have to mean harsh chemicals. Our approach combines the power of nature with effective formulations that can help keep pests at bay - gently and safely.
Our So Fresh So Clean Dog Shampoo is infused with Lavender Essential Oil, known for its natural insect-repelling properties, along with Aloe Vera and Nettle Leaf Extract to soothe irritated skin and support a healthy skin barrier—your dog’s first line of defence. This makes it an ideal choice for dog parents looking for a dog shampoo for dogs that does more than just clean.
Follow up with our Super Soft Dog Conditioner, which contains Cedarwood Essential Oil, a natural repellent for fleas and ticks, and Willow Bark Extract, which helps reduce inflammation and itching caused by bites or allergens. Used together, this dog shampoo and conditioner routine not only nourishes the coat but provides gentle, plant-based protection all year round.
While no product can guarantee complete prevention, using grooming products for dogs that include natural repellents as part of your regular routine is a powerful step in reducing risk - especially when combined with brushing, regular tick checks, and a clean environment.
