Natural dog groomingNatural grooming products for dogs.
A dog’s skin is thinner than ours and more easily stripped, so what goes into a dog shampoo matters more than how much it lathers. Every Furrytail product is made to a 99.5% Natural Origin Index (calculated per ISO 16128-2), cleansed with coconut- and sugar-derived surfactants instead of sulphates, and preserved with a probiotic radish-root ferment instead of parabens, MIT or phenoxyethanol.
The range covers the whole week, not just bath day: a gentle daily shampoo, a waterless dry foam for between baths, a paw cleaner for after walks, a plant-based tick and flea spray for before them, and a coat mist for everything in between.

Gentle Daily Shampoo →02 · Between baths
Freshen up without water
A rinse-free dry foam shampoo for the days a full bath isn’t possible - work it into the coat and towel off.
Dry Foam Shampoo →03 · Before every walk
Deter ticks and fleas, naturally
Plant-derived actives - vetiver, cypress, citronella and neem - instead of synthetic pesticides. A deterrent for tick-season walks, not a treatment for an existing infestation.

Clean paws at the door
A rinse-free foam with a built-in brush: massage each pad and between the toes, then wipe with a damp cloth.

Questions pet parents ask
What is the best natural shampoo for dogs?
Look for a shampoo that skips sulphates (SLS/SLES), parabens, MIT and phenoxyethanol, uses mild plant-derived surfactants, and lists every ingredient. Furrytail’s Gentle Daily Shampoo is made to a 99.5% Natural Origin Index, cleansed with coconut- and sugar-derived surfactants and preserved with a probiotic ferment.
How often should I bathe my dog?
Weekly or fortnightly is typical for most dogs. A gentle, sulphate-free shampoo can be used that often without stripping the coat’s natural oils; your vet can advise for your dog’s coat type, skin and activity level.
Is a natural tick and flea spray enough?
A plant-based spray like Furrytail’s Anti-Tick & Flea Spray helps deter ticks and fleas before walks in tick-active areas. It is a deterrent, not a pesticide treatment - for an established infestation, consult your vet.
Can I use these products on puppies?
Consult your vet for puppies under 12 weeks. For puppies over 12 weeks the gentle shampoos are suitable for regular use; check with your vet before using the Anti-Tick & Flea Spray on a puppy.
