As pet owners, we are right to want a quality natural shampoo for our pets so whats the best shampoo for puppies Australia?. After 20 years of breeding and exhibiting my show dogs I cannot stress enough how environment, diet and topical treatments impact on a dog’s health, the cleaner all 3 are the better for optimal health and wellbeing of our pets. Unfortunately the pet industry in Australia is no where near transparent enough when it comes to ingredients in all pet products including shampoos, conditioners and grooming sprays. Botaniqa prides itself on 100% transparency of all ingredients which are 98% naturally derived and this by no means reduces the performance of our products but actually the opposite, it increases performance and results on our beloved pet’s coats. Puppy shampoo can be a confusing purchase, so many products on the market but what does my puppy need in his first shampoo? The answer is gentleness, natural ingredients, a soothing formula that will not create an allergic reaction to soft new puppy skin and coat. My recommendation for your puppy’s first shampoo is the “ Puppy My Sweet” shampoo from Botaniqa’s Beauty Line. Puppy My Sweet Shampoo is natural, pure and gentle. This innovative protective formula with oat proteins is perfectly suited for puppies and older dogs with sensitive skin. It can be used on puppies from 8 weeks of age. Botaniqa’s Puppy My Sweet shampoo is both fragrance and colourant free ensuring it is as gentle and safe as possible for your new puppy.
How to use
Dilute Puppy My Sweet shampoo with water at a 2:1 dilution ratio, wet coat, apply all over coat and work into a gentle lather, rinse well with lukewarm water.
Tips for puppies with long or wavy coats.
If you have a longer coated puppy a great conditioner option from the Botaniqa range is the Love Me Long conditioner. This conditioner will leave the coat touchable soft, salon smooth and easy to brush. For your grooming spray to help deal with tangles and knots the Botaniqa Tangle Free Spray is an excellent option, with avocado extract our Tangle Free Spray will help to create soft manageable coat to assist in the removal of tangles, mats and knots from your pet’s coat.

I have a mini long dachshund that I show. His coat is dry at the moment. A friend recommended this brand. What do you recommend I use?
Hi Mandy, I recommend a 3 step bathing method:
Basic Deep Clean Shampoo diluted at 10:1 for first shampoo every time.
Moisturising and Protection shampoo diluted at 10:1 for second shampoo.
Rinse and then condition with the Moisturising Protection Coat Mask diluted at 10:1.
Dilution method 1 part product to 10 parts water.
On show day a light mist of Magic Touch Grooming Spray, if you feel this spray is too heavy once the coat is well hydrated then just break it down with some distilled water to make it lighter on the coat.
I hope this helps
