Short-Haired Dog Grooming Essentials 🐾
Short-Haired Dogs Also Need Some TLC! 🐶
Short-haired dogs might seem easy to groom, but their sleek coats can come with their own set of challenges. From shedding and dry, itchy skin to irritation caused by pollen, grass and dust, breeds like French Bulldogs, Beagles, Pugs and Dachshunds still need a thoughtful grooming routine.
The good news? You don't need an extensive routine to keep your buddy's skin and coat looking and feeling their best. With the right products for their individual needs, grooming can be simple, effective and enjoyable ✨
Keep Shedding Under Control 🐶
Short fur doesn't mean less shedding. In fact, some short-haired breeds can leave surprisingly large amounts of hair around your home!
Regular brushing helps remove loose and dead hair before it ends up on your furniture. For dogs that shed heavily or seasonally, Shed Control Shampoo with Aloe & Lemongrass is a great addition to their grooming routine. Enriched with Aloe Vera and Pro-Vitamin B5, it helps cleanse and condition the coat while supporting your shedding-control routine. Follow up with our Shed Control Deodorising Spray with Aloe & Lemongrass to help keep loose hair manageable between washes 🫧
Soothe Dry & Itchy Skin 💦
Because short coats provide less protection between your dog's skin and the outside environment, some short-haired dogs can be prone to dry, flaky or itchy skin.
For gentle everyday care, our Oatmeal Shampoo is a great choice when your dog's skin needs some extra soothing attention as it contains colloidal oatmeal, a highly moisturising ingredient. If you're looking for cleansing and conditioning in one step, our 2in1 Coconut Shampoo & Conditioner helps leave the coat soft and conditioned ☁️
For dogs needing targeted itch-relief care, our Itch Relief Milk & Honey Shampoo provides a gentle, soothing cleanse that's ideal for adding a little extra TLC to bath time.
All of our Shampoos, Colognes and Deodorising Sprays contain Aloe Vera & Pro-Vitamin B5 to help care for and condition your dog's skin and coat.
Help Calm Environmental Irritation 🌳
Grass, pollen and dust are part of everyday life for dogs, but short fur doesn't provide much of a barrier between these environmental irritants and your dog's skin.
If your buddy comes back from walks feeling itchy or their skin looks irritated, our Antiseptic Itchy Skin Relief Spray is a handy addition to your grooming routine. It's designed for targeted care and can help soothe skin affected by everyday environmental irritants without requiring a full bath.
If your dog's skin is persistently red, sore, inflamed or itchy, speak to your vet. Grooming products aren't a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
Keep Skin Clean & Free From Build-Up 🧼
Dead hair, dirt and debris can collect around the skin and hair follicles. Keeping your dog's coat clean is therefore an important part of maintaining good grooming hygiene.
For dogs needing extra cleansing care, our Medi Fresh Shampoo makes a great addition to their routine.
For more targeted cleansing needs, our Chlorhexidine Shampoo provides antibacterial and antifungal care. Read more about our Chlorhexidine range HERE.
Freshen Up Between Baths 🫧
For quick clean-ups or targeted areas, our 2in1 Conditioning Waterless Dry Dog Shampoo helps refresh and condition the coat, while our Deodorising Sprays help keep everyday odours at bay. We recommend our Milk & Honey Deodorising Spray & Oatmeal Deodorising Spray!
Ears Need Care Too! 👂
Grooming isn't just about the coat. Ears can collect dirt and debris too, so regular ear care should be part of your buddy's overall hygiene routine.
Our Dog Ear Cleanser makes it easy to add ear care to your grooming routine and help keep those often forgotten areas clean and fresh.
For more targeted antibacterial and antifungal care, we recommend our Antiseptic Ear Drops.
Don't Forget Paw & Nose Care 🐾
Paws and noses can also benefit from a little extra care. Our Paw & Nose Balms help moisturise and protect dry, rough areas, making them a simple addition to your buddy's grooming routine.
