Read About Choosing Dog Therapy Shampoo

If your dog requires the gentlest shampoo available, then therapy shampoo is the right choice for you.

Things to consider: What is in the shampoo, shampoos that help heal various conditions, and fragrances in shampoo.

  • Super Gentle - Therapy shampoos that are pH balanced, plant-based, and sulfate free are the gentlest dog shampoos you can buy for your adult dog. In fact, most of them are even puppy safe, though you are better off using herbal therapy shampoos that are designed specifically for use on puppies.

  • Coat Loss- If your dog is suffering from coat loss, therapy shampoos are only one step in the healing process. Coat loss is often caused by inadequate nutrition in the dog's diet. Head to your nearby online dog food center and find your dog a premium dog food that is specifically designed to support a strong and healthy skin and coat. This will invariably be a dog food that contains higher dosages of essential fatty acids and naturally-occurring oils. Starting your dog on a regular program of vitamins and supplements containing these same ingredients can also go a long way towards eliminating coat loss.

  • Smelling Good - Any fragrances used in dog shampoos should come from essential oils only. All other fragrant sources are too strong for your dog's body and can be extremely harsh on her skin and coat. That's why the best choice for scented dog shampoos are those containing essential oils, like all-natural herbal therapy shampoos.
