Which Shampoo Should I Use?

One of the most common questions we are always asked is ‘Which shampoos is best for my pet?’

All shampoos are formulated to clean, that is the one thing they all have in common. After that, it is the added key ingredients that define what the outcome or result of using that specific shampoo will be.

This is why Plush Puppy has such a vast range of very specific shampoos, each providing a result-based formulation. No one all-round shampoo can provide all the benefits to different coats, fur or feathers. Different situations, stages and breeds will also impact your decision.

To achieve the best results, it is important to choose the right and best shampoos for your individual pets needs. This could be as simple as retaining the current condition, improving the condition and health or even changing the appearance and texture. It is important to note at this stage too that you can combine shampoos to obtain multiple results in just 1 wash.

All our shampoos are formulated to achieve and deliver results that you see and feel. 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.
