Price

Many dog owners are looking for a product that effectively cleans and moisturizes their dog’s skin and coat without breaking the bank. The price of the TropiClean Dog Shampoo is comparable to other dog shampoo brands on the market. It comes in a 20-ounce bottle, and you don’t need to use tons of product for it to completely coat your dog’s fur.

Ingredients

The ingredients list in this dog shampoo is very simple and clean. Most of the ingredients come from natural substances and include colloidal oatmeal, vitamin E, and wheat protein. It is also free from all soaps, dyes, and parabens and is 70% biotic. Unfortunately, the company does include a preservative in the recipe. Other than that, this shampoo is safe to use on all dogs except those with specific allergies.

Breed Type

It is a little surprising to some customers that this shampoo foams so well even though it doesn’t contain any soaps. This makes it perfect for all dog breeds, regardless of their fur type. Customer reviews show that people who had breeds with long hair could easily massage it through their coats. However, it might take longer to thoroughly rinse the product out of long fur.

Effectiveness

There are mixed reviews on the effectiveness of this shampoo. Some customers report that it has helped with their dog’s dandruff and itchiness. Others say that it made their dog’s skin condition worse and didn’t help to reduce shedding. Always exercise caution when using any product on your dog—they may have sensitivities or allergies to some of the ingredients despite them being mostly natural.

FAQ

  • Is the shampoo tear-free?: While all dogs react differently to this shampoo, there is no indication that the product is tear-free. Some dogs might experience eye irritation if it gets in their eyes.
  • Is this product safe for cats too?: Because of the natural ingredients list, this shampoo is safe for cats. It is advertised for use on both cats and dogs.
  • Does the shampoo kill fleas and ticks?: This product is designed to clean pets and provide relief to animals that have been bitten by fleas and ticks. It does not protect them from or kill fleas and ticks.

What the Users Say

As we’ve already discussed, there seem to be very positive reviews for the TropiClean Dog Shampoo overall. Most users are pleased with the product’s effectiveness and report that it does soothe their pet’s irritated skin. However, a few report it only irritated their dog’s skin further.

Most customers rave about the clean ingredients list and the sweet smell of the product. Despite being soap-free, it seems to lather well and is easy to rinse. It is also priced fairly compared to other similar brands on the market. Of the few complaints, the most common was that it didn’t effectively reduce shedding, although the TropiClean never claimed this to be a de-shedding shampoo.
