Overview
["This 16 ounce liquid shampoo from We Love Doodles is formulated specifically as a facial wash to remove tear stains and brighten or whiten the coat around the eyes, rather than serving as an all-over body shampoo. It's labeled tearless, which matters given how close to the eyes this product is meant to be used.", "The formula is concentrated at a 16:1 ratio, meaning it's meant to be diluted before use, which stretches the value of the bottle considerably compared to a ready-to-use shampoo. It also carries cleansing, conditioning, deodorizing, and detangling benefits, with allergen-free, artificial-color-free, paraben-free, phosphate-free, preservative-free, and sulfate-free ingredients, and it's labeled safe for cats, dogs, and small animals, not just dogs.", "At $13.97 for a concentrated 16 ounce bottle, it's a reasonable price given the dilution ratio stretches the product much further than the bottle size suggests. With 189 reviews at a 4.4 star average and about 300 units bought in the past month, it has a solid, if niche, following among owners specifically targeting tear stains."]
Pros
Formulated specifically to remove tear stains and brighten the coat
Tearless formula designed for safe use near the eyes
16:1 concentration stretches the bottle much further than the size suggests
Free of artificial color, parabens, phosphates, preservatives, and sulfates
Safe for cats, dogs, and small animals
Cons
Facial-only focus means it's not meant to replace a full-body shampoo
Concentrated formula requires proper dilution, which adds a step compared to ready-to-use shampoos
189 reviews is a smaller sample than some of the higher-volume shampoos in this category
The 16:1 concentration means the active brightening and cleansing agents are formulated to be strong enough to work when diluted, which is standard for facial and tear-stain products since they need to be gentle enough for repeated use close to the eyes while still being effective against staining. Being tearless and free of sulfates and phosphates supports that same goal of keeping the formula mild for facial application.
What buyers say
With 189 reviews averaging 4.4 stars and roughly 300 units bought in the past month, this facial shampoo has built a solid reputation within its specific niche of tear-stain removal rather than competing as an everyday full-body wash.
Yes, it's labeled as tearless and is specifically formulated as a facial wash for the area around the eyes, though you should still avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves as a general precaution.
Do I need to dilute this shampoo before use?
Yes, it's a 16:1 concentrated formula, meaning it's meant to be diluted with water before application, which also makes the bottle last considerably longer than a ready-to-use shampoo.
Can this be used on animals other than dogs?
Yes, the label lists it as safe for cats, dogs, and small animals, so it can be used across different pets in the same household.
