Dry shampoo or waterless shampoo for dogs cleans dogs’ coats without getting them wet, and soaks up oil and dirt, leaving the coat clean smelling. Dogs that don’t like to get bathed will love this dry shampoo. Tammy Siert, award-winning professional dog groomer and Global Educator for grooming company Andis, tells Dogster that dry and waterless shampoos are a great way for a quick clean up on your pet. However, that doesn’t mean your dog doesn’t ever need a wet bath.
Both dry and waterless dog shampoo can be used on any breed or coat type, says Tammy. She gives this tip: If you have a breed that has a lot of coat, make sure to brush the coat after applying.
