Overview
["This 64 ounce liquid shampoo is made by We Love Doodles specifically with matted, curly coats in mind, targeting breeds like Goldendoodles and Poodles that are prone to tangling. It's formulated to clean, condition, and detangle in one wash, and comes in a lavender and chamomile scent.", 'The label lists it as free of alcohol, artificial color, formaldehyde, parabens, and sulfates, with allergen-free ingredients made in the USA, which is a meaningful detail for owners bathing puppies or dogs with sensitive skin. Its half gallon size is aimed at owners who bathe frequently or have multiple doodle-coated dogs.', 'At $29.99 for 64 ounces, it works out to a reasonable cost per ounce for a detangling formula, especially compared to buying several smaller bottles. With 77 reviews at a 4.2 star average and about 100 units bought in the past month, it has a smaller but positive track record so far.']
Pros
Half gallon size offers strong value for owners who bathe often
Formulated specifically for detangling matted, curly doodle coats
Free of alcohol, artificial color, formaldehyde, parabens, and sulfates
Made in the USA with allergen-free ingredients
Suitable for puppies with sensitive skin
Cons
Smaller review count of 77 makes the track record less proven than other options
4.2 star average is on the lower end of this shampoo lineup
64 ounce bottle is bulky for owners without a doodle-coated dog or multiple pets
The sulfate-free, formaldehyde-free formulation is designed to clean and condition without stripping the natural oils that curly and doodle coats rely on to resist matting, while the lavender and chamomile scent adds a calming element during longer detangling sessions. Because it's positioned as a clean, eco-friendly formula, it leans toward gentler ingredients rather than harsher detangling chemicals.
What buyers say
With 77 reviews averaging 4.2 stars and roughly 100 units bought in the past month, this is a smaller-volume product compared to mainstream shampoos, but its focused doodle-coat positioning suggests it's finding the right niche audience.
Is this shampoo made specifically for doodle breeds?
It's marketed toward Goldendoodles, Poodles, and other doodle and matted-coat breeds, though any dog dealing with tangled or textured fur could use it.
Is this shampoo safe for puppies?
The label lists allergen-free, sulfate-free, and formaldehyde-free ingredients and mentions sensitive skin suitability for puppies, but you should still patch test or ask your vet before first use.
How big is the bottle?
It comes in a 64 ounce, or half gallon, size, which is larger than most standard dog shampoo bottles and suited to frequent bathing or multi-dog households.
