• between professional grooming
• after surgery, for dogs that don’t like water or getting wet
• when you don’t have access to water
• when you don’t have access to bathing accessories
• when you don’t want the clean up of water, dirt and hair that a doggy bath requires

What Might Make A Good Dry/Waterless Dog Shampoo?

Definitely consult your dog’s vet when deciding when, how often and which waterless dog shampoo to pick for your dog.

But a good waterless dog shampoo might:

• Have only natural ingredients
• Have no animal derived ingredients

• Be non toxic
• Be eco friendly and biodegradable

This way you increase the likelihood you protect your pet, other animals and the environment.

Make sure you pay attention to the directions of use and warnings on the label of the shampoo bottle.
