The Best Shampoo & Conditioners for Dog Baths 2020

Dogs love to dig, roll in odd smells and jump in puddles whenever they get the chance. As much as we love to watch them have fun, you don’t want them to carry any dirt or weird smells back inside with them. So its bath time to the rescue!

We have created a list of the best dog shampoos and conditioners to choose from that account for optimal skin and coat care, preserving natural oils and the occasional need for something heavy duty.

Best Dog Shampoos

There’s no one product that suits all dogs. To help make sure you find the right product for your needs, we’ve split the products we’re looking at in 4 groups:

• All natural, organic shampoos.
• Heavy duty shampoo.
• Hypoallergenic shampoo.
• Conditioners

Best All Natural, Organic Shampoos

Earthbath All Natural Shampoo is made of natural ingredients and is guaranteed cruelty free. This moisturizing shampoo with oatmeal and organic aloe is made specifically for dry, sensitive, itchy skin. The vanilla and almond extracts make for a beautifully scented dog. It’s also 100% biodegradable, paraben and phosphate-free formula. But, seriously smelly or dirty dogs may need a heavier duty shampoo than this.

Burt’s Bees Oatmeal Shampoo contains oatmeal, and honey to soothe dry skin and restore much needed moisture. There are no harsh chemicals and it is guaranteed their ingredients are solely plant-derived.

Best Heavy Duty Shampoos

Nature’s Miracle Supreme Odor Control Hypoallergenic Shampoo & Conditioner is also all natural and made of plant-derived ingredients, but is heavier hitting on serious odors. This product is formulated with no dyes or parabens and is hypoallergenic for sensitive skin!

SynergyLabs Veterinary Formula Triple Strength Dirty Dog Shampoo possesses three times the number of active cleansers of its competitors, ensuring that dirty dogs are dealt with easily and effectively. The Vitamin E, aloe vera, shea and wheat protein work to restore moisture to your dog’s coat and skin while making sure none of the natural oils are stripped away.

Best Hypoallergenic Shampoos for Sensitive Skin

Some dogs suffer with allergies and sensitive skin, especially Labs. For these pups, many standard shampoos will leave them feeling irritated and uncomfortable. These shampoos are formulated specifically for dogs with allergies:

4-Legger Certified Organic All Natural and Hypoallergenic Dog Shampoo is specially formulated for sensitive skin with an abundance of natural moisturizers that heal the skin and coat without removing natural oils. It is 100% non-toxic natural hypoallergenic. It uses plant based vegan ingredients like organic coconut oil, organic lemongrass oil, which is a natural flea block, and sooting aloe vera.

Vet’s Best Hypoallergenic Shampoo with Aloe Vera is formulated to thoroughly cleanse and re-moisturize dry skin, soothe itching and re-energize brittle coats. It won’t affect any topical flea or tick treatments you may have applied.

Best Dog Conditioners

Isle of Dogs Everyday Jasmine and Vanilla Silky Coating Conditioner not only smells great but is also gentle enough to be used regularly. This conditioner has more chemicals than the other products we have discussed, but its very effective on tangled hair and restores moisture to the coat immediately. The jasmine and vanilla fragrance is subtle and warm.

Earthbath All Natural Oatmeal and Aloe Conditioner has no artificial or synthetic ingredients. This product works on all hair types to condition, detangle and penetrate matting. The oatmeal and aloe vera moisturizes and soothes irritated, itchy and dry skin. And it’s perfect to use after a good wash with the Earthbath shampoo recommended above!

There are a ton of good and bad products out there for your furry friends bath time, but hopefully our guide will help you avoid the bad ones. If you have any other recommendations on dog shampoo or conditioner, we would love to hear from you!
