FAQ's

Why is natural grooming important for dogs?

Natural dog grooming is important to keep the dog's coat and skin healthy. It helps prevent skin problems such as itching, flaking and skin infections. Natural care methods also minimize the risk of allergic reactions to chemical ingredients in conventional care products.

Are there natural alternatives to commercial dog shampoos?

Yes, there are natural alternatives to commercial dog shampoos. For example, you can use special plant-based dog shampoos such as our Premium Shampoo for Dogs. These natural shampoos are often gentler on the skin and can help reduce skin irritation and itching.

Which dog shampoos are the best?

Which dog shampoo is best depends on various factors such as the dog's skin type and specific needs. It should definitely be tailored to the pH value for dogs like our CrazyDogPaul grooming products.

How necessary are dog shampoos?

Dog shampoos are important for keeping your dog's coat clean and groomed so that he feels comfortable and stays healthy.

Is there a dog shampoo that vets recommend?

There is no specific recommendation here. If you are unsure, contact your trusted veterinarian. He can tell you exactly what your dog needs. For acute problems, veterinarians often recommend special medical shampoos that are tailored to the dog's specific needs, such as for itching, dandruff or skin infections. CrazyDogPaul shampoo for dogs with its 100% natural ingredients is tailored to the pH value for dogs, ensures thorough cleaning and moisturizes the fur and skin, thus preventing fur problems.

Why is a good dog shampoo important?

An important factor when choosing the right shampoo for your dog is the fact that dogs have a different skin structure and pH value than humans. Dogs have much thinner skin and less subcutaneous fat than we do, meaning they are more susceptible to skin irritations and infections. Shampoos designed for humans can cause skin irritation or even skin infections in dogs. But BE CAREFUL when choosing! Don't be blinded by beautiful packaging and advertising promises. Look at the back and read the ingredients. Many dog shampoos contain chemical additives such as preservatives, surfactants, sulfates, artificial fragrances, dyes, humectants, glycerin, artificial foaming agents or petroleum products, which are usually hidden behind abbreviations or approval numbers. This makes a dog shampoo cheap to produce and sell for, but it can cause irritation or other fur problems in sensitive dogs with sensitive dog skin. Our recommendation: Stay away from dog shampoos that list no or incomplete ingredients, chemical abbreviations or ingredients that you don't clearly understand. A visit to the vet for skin and coat problems is definitely more expensive than a cheap dog shampoo. A good dog shampoo manufacturer has nothing to hide or disguise when it comes to the ingredients.

What types of shampoo for dogs are there?

There are different types of dog shampoos, but generally they can be divided into the following categories: mild shampoo, medicated shampoo, dog shampoo for puppies, short coat shampoo, long coat shampoo or natural shampoo.

What you should consider when using shampoo for dogs


How often should I wash my dog with shampoo?

This depends on the breed and the length of the coat. For dogs with short fur, light dirt can often be easily combed out with a good dog brush. This can sometimes be a little more difficult with dogs with long fur. In general, a dog should be showered or bathed every few weeks unless it has specific needs that require more frequent cleaning (e.g. the dog tends to have dry skin or coat or the coat becomes matted easily). With real “dirty sparrows” the question is unnecessary. However, if possible, we recommend only cleaning the dirty areas, such as the dog's paws and underbelly. As a rule, warm, clear water is sufficient for this. If you use a combination product (shampoo including parasite protection), the protection should be refreshed regularly, especially in the seasons where the dog can be attacked by parasites. However, caution is advised here. Dog shampoos with chemical protection against parasites such as ticks, fleas, lice or mites, which kill the parasites when infested, usually contain neurotoxins that can also be harmful to your dog. A natural-based dog shampoo is ideal for this, as its natural ingredients ensure that your dog is not attacked by parasites in the first place. This is healthier for your dog and ensures that your dog cannot become infected with serious, communicable diseases caused by parasites. Our CrazyDogPaul shampoo for dogs was specially developed for this purpose.

Can I also use human shampoos for dogs?

It is not recommended to use human shampoo on your dogs because dogs' skin is structured differently than humans. Shampoos for humans also have a different pH level than that of dogs. Dogs' skin has a different pH than humans. Regular human shampoo has a pH of 5.0 and destroys the natural acid barrier of dog skin and can lead to dandruff, itching and hair loss.
