Performance notes

As a waterless spray, this is formulated for spot cleaning, conditioning, and detangling rather than saturating and rinsing a full coat. The alcohol free, paraben free formula with lavender and chamomile is aimed at gentle, frequent use, which lines up with its role as a between-bath grooming product rather than a heavy-duty cleanser.

What buyers say

With nearly 16,940 reviews averaging 4.6 stars and around 6,000 bought in the past month, this is a high-volume, well-loved product with one of the strongest ratings across the entire shampoo lineup.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to rinse this shampoo off?

No, it's a waterless, no-rinse formula meant to be sprayed on and left in as part of a quick grooming touch-up.

Is this safe to use on cats as well as dogs?

Yes, based on the product listing it's labeled for both cats and dogs, not dogs only.

Will this help with a matted coat?

It's marketed for conditioning and detangling, which works best on light tangles during regular grooming rather than resolving heavily matted fur.
