Which Dog Shampoo Should You Choose?
Do you want to help your pet always look clean and feel good? But you’re not sure how often you should bathe them or what kind of dog shampoo to use?
It doesn’t matter whether you own a small breed like a Chihuahua or take care of a larger animal like a Labrador. Proper hygiene is not just a matter of aesthetics but a key factor for the health of your pet’s skin and coat.
That’s why in this article, we at Probioaction.bg will help you choose the right product to avoid dryness, irritation, and allergic reactions. We’ll debunk a few myths and share veterinarians’ opinions with you.
What are the most common mistakes when choosing a dog shampoo?
We’re sure that at least once your veterinarian has told you there’s no universal answer to how often you should bathe your four-legged friend. Everything is highly individual and depends on the breed, the length and type of coat, lifestyle, and needs.
When trying to maintain the right balance between bathing frequency and natural skin protection, you’ll encounter many misconceptions such as:
Myth 1: I can wash my dog with my own shampoo.
As strange as it may sound, many owners are misled by beautiful advertisements on TV, radio, and social media. In them, celebrities without the necessary knowledge give advice on how to save money on specialized cosmetics for your four-legged friend.
The truth is that this is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Human products contain many chemicals, sulfates, and allergenic fragrances that are harmful to animals. Moreover, their formulas are designed for the human scalp and hair, which have a different pH and structure.
Dogs have much more sensitive skin, prone to irritation, especially when the wrong dog shampoo is used. It’s thinner than human skin and needs specialized products with gentle ingredients and the right pH balance. Only in this way can its natural protection remain intact.
Another difference is that coats vary significantly among breeds. Short-haired dogs need products that remove dirt and dust, while long-haired breeds require formulas that prevent tangling and make brushing easier.
That’s why human shampoos are extremely harmful to dogs and can cause various skin and health issues.
Myth 2: Pet products don’t really work.
You’d be surprised how often owners choose the cheapest options rather than those that actually care for their pet’s coat and skin. For this reason, many people think there’s no real difference between specialized and regular cosmetics.
However, by using not just a suitable but the right product, you’ll meet your dog’s specific needs. They not only clean but also nourish the coat, protect it from dryness and irritation, and can even help relieve skin problems.
Cheap alternatives usually lack balanced composition and often worsen the condition of the coat and skin.
Myth 3: I can bathe my dog with different products every day.
As we already mentioned, every animal has specific needs. Some may need a bath once a month, while others get dirty more often and need to be washed accordingly.
For example, Huskies and Shepherds have thick undercoats. That’s why the chosen product should reach deep enough to remove accumulated dirt and dead hair.
On the other hand, dogs with thinner or finer coats need products that nourish and add shine without weighing down the hair.
At the same time, if your pet has a skin condition, it’s essential to consult a veterinarian. They will not only recommend how often to bathe your dog but may also guide you to a specialized probiotic dog shampoo.
Why do we recommend our dog shampoos?
As you can see, in our online store you’ll find cleaning sprays, foams, and shampoos. What they all have in common is that they’re developed to meet the needs of animals.
Ordinary pet care cosmetics are designed to wash away dirt and refresh the coat. Although they make the hair softer and shinier, their effect usually ends there. For more sensitive animals, standard formulas aren’t gentle enough, even when intended for frequent use or irritated skin.
All probiotic dog shampoos offer a completely different approach.
What makes them different?
Our products contain spores of Class 1 probiotic bacteria that have been tested by independent certified laboratories. This guarantees not only their safety but also their effectiveness with regular use.
Their formula doesn’t just provide surface cleaning — it works on a deeper level, helping to restore the skin’s natural balance.
The bacteria in them act through the so-called “competitive exclusion” method. The probiotic bacteria occupy the “sites” on the skin and hair where harmful microorganisms and bacteria would otherwise attach and use available nutrients. This allows probiotics to thrive while harmful bacteria and fungi are left without the conditions they need to grow.
The risk of irritation, itching, and unpleasant odors decreases, while probiotics keep the coat clean and shiny. They don’t just wash — they create a protective barrier that continues to work after bathing, ensuring comfort for your pet.
And not only that – they contain NO sulfates, allergenic fragrances, soaps, parabens, or allergens.
