As pet parents, we want nothing but the best for our animals — and that includes keeping their coat healthy, shiny, and free of irritation. While it may be tempting to use just any shampoo (or even your own), choosing the right dog shampoo is crucial for your pup’s overall health and well-being. Here’s why — and how to choose the best option for your four-legged friend.
Dogs Have Different Skin Than Humans
First things first: your dog’s skin is not the same as yours. In fact, dogs have more sensitive skin with a different pH balance than humans. Human shampoos — even baby shampoos — can throw off this balance, leading to dryness, itchiness, or even allergic reactions.
That’s why it’s important to always use a shampoo formulated specifically for dogs.
Targeted Solutions for Common Dog Issues
Just like us, dogs can suffer from a variety of skin and coat issues — from dryness and dandruff to allergies and fleas. The right shampoo can soothe, heal, and even prevent many of these problems.
On The GLW Shop, we carry a curated selection of dog shampoos made with gentle, effective ingredients. Whether your pup needs a deep clean, itch relief, or a boost of hydration, there’s a formula for every need.
Here are a few favorites from the shop:
1- Dedcool Pet Shampoo 01 “Taunt”: What are the odds that your dog uses a fancier shampoo than you? Cleanse and condition your pups with our tear-free formula that treats their skin and coat real nice. No sulfates or parabens. Nontoxic + vegan.
2- Dedcool Pet Fragrance 01 “Taunt”: The better question is, why *wouldn’t* you want dog perfume? A gentle no-rinse refresher to deodorize + restore their coat in-between baths. Nontoxic + vegan.
3- Koala Eco Natural Dog Wash: Mud. Irresistible for dogs, not so great for indoors. When a thorough clean is the only solution, Koala Eco’s Natural Dog Wash will restore gloss and freshness to your pet’s coat without harming sensitive skin or stripping out natural oils. This is a nourishing, plant-based, hypoallergenic formula that combines the woody, herbal scent of sweet marjoram with the lemon-lavender aroma of rosalina: two of nature’s most effective yet gentle anti-inflammatory and antioxidant botanicals. Specially formulated to combat muddy paws and the pong of wet fur, this product has never been tested on animals
Natural Ingredients Make a Big Difference
Just like with our own self-care routines, natural ingredients can be game-changers for pets. Many of the dog shampoos we offer at The GLW Shop are made with ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, and essential oils to cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural oils.
Choosing a natural, gentle formula not only keeps your dog’s coat looking fabulous but also ensures they’re not absorbing any harmful chemicals through their skin.
Your dog isn’t just a pet — they’re family. Taking the extra step to use a high-quality, dog-safe shampoo shows love and care in a very real (and very fluffy) way.
