Chris Christensen SmartWash 50 Cherry & Oats Shampoo for Heavily Soiled Coats, Concentrate 50:1

Chris Christensen SmartWash 50 Cherry & Oats Shampoo is a professional, super-concentrated soothing and hydrating shampoo of the highest show grade, created specifically for dogs and cats with dry, sensitive or irritated skin. This original American product offers exceptional salon economy with its 50:1 dilution ratio and is enriched with natural oat kernel extract. The shampoo penetrates gently deep into the coat to dissolve stubborn grease, dust and residues of styling products, while instantly relieving itching and dryness.

Thanks to its long-lasting, captivating wild cherry fragrance, it leaves the coat perfectly clean, glossy, silky soft and revitalised, with no artificial fillers added.

Dual action: intensive skin soothing and a luxurious show shine

Dry skin, frequent itching and flaking cause pets enormous discomfort, leading to constant scratching and damage to the hair. Ordinary deep-cleansing shampoos often contain harsh ingredients that dry out the skin even further. In contrast, the Cherry & Oats formula from the SmartWash 50 range combines uncompromising cleansing power with deep therapeutic care. The thick, creamy lather gently lifts away dirt while delivering valuable hydration to the very core of the hair follicles.

Natural oatmeal is known in veterinary medicine for its powerful anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, which quickly restore the damaged skin barrier. It eliminates static and gives the hair perfect elasticity. The captivating scent of ripe cherry is specially developed to be sweet, warm and exceptionally long-lasting, completely neutralising unpleasant organic odours. The shampoo maintains the natural texture of the coat, making it voluminous, vibrant and radiant, which makes it an ideal choice both for everyday hygiene and for preparation before prestigious shows.

Directions for Use

The product is super-concentrated and must be diluted before use.

Dilute the shampoo in a suitable mixing container at a ratio of 50 parts warm water to 1 part shampoo (for example, about 10-15 ml of shampoo per half a litre of water). Wet your dog's or cat's coat completely with lukewarm water. Apply the diluted solution evenly over the whole body and massage gently until a rich lather forms. Protect the delicate areas around the eyes, nose and inside the ears. Leave the product on the coat for 2 to 3 minutes so that the soothing oat ingredients can work deeply. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. If the coat is very heavily soiled, you can repeat the bath. For best results, follow with a suitable conditioner. The original product label must be kept entirely in its original English form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Is Cherry & Oats shampoo suitable for regular bathing of dogs with severe skin allergies? Yes, the product is excellent for dogs and cats with sensitive, irritation-prone skin, as it contains natural oatmeal that soothes the skin. However, if the animal has a proven strong allergy to perfumes or fragrances, we recommend using the SmartWash 50 Hypoallergenic version, which is completely fragrance-free. Question 2: What is the main difference between this shampoo and the others in the SmartWash 50 range? All shampoos in the SmartWash 50 range share the same cleansing power and 50:1 dilution. What is specific to Cherry & Oats is the addition of colloidal oatmeal, aimed at soothing irritated, dry and itchy skin, combined with a deep, sweet ripe cherry fragrance, while the other versions focus mainly on different fruity scents or specific functions such as deshedding. Question 3: Can the cherry fragrance cause sneezing or discomfort for my dog? No. All fragrances used in Chris Christensen cosmetics have undergone strict dermatological and veterinary testing in the USA. They are fully adapted to pets' fine and delicate sense of smell, do not cause sneezing or respiratory irritation, and provide a freshness that delights owners.

Expert Tip

When working with dogs that suffer from dry, itchy skin, sticking to the right contact time is crucial. When you apply Chris Christensen SmartWash 50 Cherry & Oats shampoo diluted 50:1, be sure to leave the rich lather on your pet's body for at least 3 minutes. This allows the colloidal oatmeal molecules to penetrate the cuticle and soothe red skin. Always rinse with lukewarm water – avoid a hot jet, as it further stimulates skin itching and dries out the hair. Dry with a professional blower at a moderate temperature. To preserve the rich cherry colour of the liquid and the activity of the oat components, store the original bottle in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
