Just like us, some dogs have skin that reacts to the smallest things like weather changes, grooming products or even plain tap water. If your dog often scratches, licks, or has flaky skin, finding the right shampoo can make a world of difference.
Why sensitive skin needs special care
Dog skin is thinner and more delicate than human skin, which means harsh cleansers or artificial fragrances can easily cause irritation. The best shampoos for sensitive dogs are:
-
pH-balanced: gentle enough for a dog’s natural skin barrier.
-
Free from parabens and sulphates: to prevent dryness or redness.
-
Infused with soothing ingredients: such as coconut, oatmeal, aloe vera or chamomile.
The power of coconut care
Coconut is a natural moisturiser that calms dry, itchy skin while leaving coats silky and soft. Its mild scent feels fresh without being overpowering, making it perfect for pups who dislike strong fragrances. Coconut-based formulas also help detangle fur and restore natural shine.
