Overview
A 9 ounce waterless powder shampoo and deodorizer for dogs, made in the USA with a talc free, plant based formula and a precision point applicator for spot treatment between baths.
This is a dry powder, not a liquid shampoo, so it works as a between-bath touch up rather than a full wash. It targets odor, itching and dandruff on dry or itchy skin without wetting the coat, and the label also lists cats as a target species.
- 9 oz precision point applicator
- Talc free plant based formula
- Anti itch and anti dandruff
- For dogs and cats
Who it's for
Suits dogs that pick up doggy odor between regular baths or that deal with dry, itchy skin. It is not a substitute for a full wet bath when a coat is visibly dirty or muddy.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No water or rinsing needed
- Talc free, plant based ingredients
- Targets odor, itch and dandruff
- Made in the USA
- Not a substitute for a wet bath
- Spot application, not a full-coat wash
Performance notes
The powder is applied directly to the coat and skin through a precision point applicator, so it can be aimed at problem spots rather than covering the whole dog. Plant based ingredients are positioned for deodorizing and anti itch use rather than deep cleaning.
