Coatex Aloe & Oatmeal Shampoo

Give your dog’s coat a boost with this gentle Coatex aloe & oatmeal shampoo.

How it works

Coatex aloe & oatmeal shampoo has been formulated to suit all skin types, from normal to sensitive, dry and itchy. It's free from soap so it won’t cause irritation, even if your dog’s skin is prone to flaring up at the use of products. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which promote a healthy, glossy coat and protect the skin barrier, as well as aloe and oatmeal to gently condition your dog’s fur and leave it soft.

To use, bathe your dog in comfortably tepid water and lather this shampoo into their fur, taking care to remove dead skin cells and debris from their coat as you massage it in. After a couple of minutes, thoroughly wash the product away, ensuring that your pet's eyes, ears and groin are clear of shampoo. You should always make sure your dog is completely dry before you let them go, too, to prevent infections from developing.

When to use it

If your dog’s coat is looking dull and lifeless, it might be down to an allergic reaction, fungal growth or bacterial infection. When you’re washing your dog, look out for flaky skin, patches of hair loss and red inflammation. If you think your dog is suffering from a skin complaint, contact your vet for some advice. They may recommend frequent grooming sessions and a gentle shampoo like this one to combat irritation.
