Which shampoo is right for my dog or cat?
Answer three questions to see the shampoos and conditioners that manufacturers recommend for that coat. The results update instantly.
How to choose a shampoo
Who it is for. For cats, use only products that the manufacturer explicitly states are suitable for cats. When you choose “Cat”, we show only those.
Coat type. We show the products for which the manufacturer lists the chosen coat type, plus those for all coat types. If you are not sure, choose “Don't know”.
Dilution. Most professional shampoos are concentrates. “10:1” means 10 parts water to 1 part shampoo, so 1 litre of concentrate makes 11 litres of ready-to-use solution. On every product we show how much ready solution the bottle makes and how much a litre of it costs.
Frequently asked questions
What does a 10:1 dilution mean?
10 parts water to 1 part shampoo. A 1-litre bottle makes 11 litres of ready-to-use solution, and a 4-litre bottle makes 44 litres. Always follow the dilution the manufacturer gives on the label.
Can I bathe a cat with dog shampoo?
Only use products that the manufacturer explicitly says are suitable for cats. When you choose “Cat” in the finder, we only show such products.
How do I tell what coat type my dog has?
A short coat lies close to the body, while a long coat falls freely. A double coat has a soft undercoat beneath a harsher outer coat (huskies and shepherd dogs, for example). A wire (harsh) coat is typical of many terriers, and a curly coat of poodles and the bichon frise. If you're not sure, choose “I don't know” or message us on Viber.
Shampoo or conditioner – do I need both?
Shampoo cleans, and conditioner goes on afterwards to make brushing easier. Many brands make a shampoo and conditioner in the same range – in the finder, switch to “Conditioners & masks” with the same answers.
