The foam quickly lifts dirt and excess grease while instantly soothing dry, tormenting itching, disinfecting minor scrapes and relieving irritation.

First aid against itching and express cleaning without a drop of water

Skin problems caused by allergies, fleas or dermatitis cause pets severe discomfort and stress. Frequent bathing with water, however, can dry out the epidermis even further and make the condition worse. Bugalugs No Rinse Medi Fresh foam shampoo offers a safe and gentle way to keep the coat clean and the skin fully soothed and protected. Thanks to its perfectly balanced pH, it does not disturb the animal's natural protective oil layer.

The rich formula, which includes a range of natural essential oils, acts as a natural shield against bacteria and fungi. The foam is quickly absorbed into the hair, softens it and makes it easier to detangle knotted areas. Because it requires no wetting or rinsing, the product completely removes bath-time stress for both dogs and cats. With Bugalugs you give your pet professional medical care, freshness and silky softness for its coat anytime, anywhere.

Directions for use

Apply the product only to a dry coat. Directions: pump a small amount of foam directly into your palm or apply it straight onto your pet's coat. Rub it in thoroughly with your fingers or a suitable rubber grooming brush in the direction of hair growth so that the product reaches the skin itself. Gently massage irritated or dirty areas. Once the foam is evenly spread, comb or brush the coat well to remove any remaining dirt. No rinsing with water is needed. Avoid contact with the animal's eyes and ears – if this happens, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: Is this dry shampoo safe for cats, given that it contains tea tree oil? The manufacturer makes this foam for dogs and cats, and the tea tree oil in it is diluted, not used neat. Cats are more sensitive to essential oils than dogs, though, so on a cat try the foam on a small area first, wipe off any excess and don't let the cat lick the area until it is dry. For kittens and for pregnant or unwell cats, ask your vet first. If you would rather use a product without tea tree, for cats we recommend the Bugalugs probiotic no-rinse shampoo for cats. Question 2: Do I need to dry the animal with a towel or dryer after applying it? No, that is not necessary. The no-rinse formula is designed to absorb grease and dirt, then dry quickly and naturally in the air without leaving sticky or greasy marks on the coat. Simply brushing it through is enough. Question 3: Can the product completely replace a traditional bath with water? It is the perfect in-between solution for everyday hygiene, removing local dirt (for example after a walk) and soothing itching. For deep cleaning of built-up mud and heavy dirt, a periodic wash with the liquid Bugalugs Medi Fresh shampoo is recommended.

Expert tip

Bugalugs No Rinse Medi Fresh foam dry shampoo is an indispensable ally for owners of dogs prone to seasonal allergies (who constantly lick and chew their paws after a walk), as well as for owners of cats going through stress and skin irritation. Instead of stressing your pet with a bath after every outing, pump out one dose of foam and rub it locally into the paws or belly. The tea tree oil will instantly disinfect the vulnerable areas and block allergens, while the oatmeal will stop the urge to scratch. For cats that hate the feel of wet textures, apply the foam first to a soft grooming glove or brush and then brush through the coat – this way cleaning will be felt as a pleasant, calming massage.
