What Shampoo do I need?

One of the most common questions asked is, I have two completely different breeds and coat types, so what one shampoo do I need? and what shampoo should I use?

Let's answer these important questions. There is no "wonder" one shampoo that does all. The word shampoo simply means a preparation to clean hair/coat. All shampoos are basically formulated to clean the coat, that is the one thing they all have in common. After that it is added key ingredients that define what the outcome/result of using that specific shampoo will do. This is why Plush Puppy has such a vast range of very specific shampoos, each provides a result-based formulation. No one shampoo can provide all the benefits to different coats, different coat situations/stages and for different breeds that we require. To achieve the best results, it is important to choose the right and best shampoo for your individual dog's coat needs. This could be as simple as retaining the condition of the coat currently, improving the condition and health or even changing the coats appearance and texture. Plush Puppy using the very latest of technology combined with using gifted specialist scientists to formulate shampoos has produced a range of different shampoos to never just clean a dog but provide you with choices to improve your dogs coat. All our shampoos are formulation to achieve and deliver results that you see, feel and benefit the coat.

The most important question you must ask yourself when selecting a shampoo is, what result do I need? This question will make your shampoo choice easier and clearer.
