Pros
4.5 star average across 452 reviews
Colloidal oatmeal and aloe vera as core ingredients
Tearless and hypoallergenic formula, made in the USA
Free of formaldehyde, parabens, alcohol, phosphates, PEG, sulfates and soap
Suitable for dogs of all ages, including puppies
Cons
Not a substitute for a vet visit if itching points to an underlying skin condition
Priced above a basic all purpose shampoo
Vanilla Ice Cream scent won't suit owners who prefer an unscented option
Colloidal oatmeal and aloe vera are common ingredients used to help soothe dry or itchy skin, and this formula pairs them with coconut-derived surfactants and vegetable glycerin for gentle cleansing. A shampoo like this can help support skin comfort day to day, but it isn't a diagnosis or cure for the underlying cause of persistent itching, which is worth checking with a vet.
