Ark Naturals Don't Worry Don't Rinse Me Waterless Dog & Cat Shampoo, 18-oz bottle

We adopted a stray who was spayed right before we took her home. This meant we couldn't let her get wet for at least 2 weeks, but she was very filthy and smelly so I started researching waterless dog shampoo. I chose this Ark Naturals product because it seemed to have good value for the size of the product and quality of the ingredients. Before it arrived, however, our poor dog suddenly fell ill and ended up laying in some of her, uh, fluids before we rushed her to a veterinary hospital. She's recovering from acute kidney damage now (and is doing very well!) while also being VERY stinky after all she's been through. As soon as my Chewy package arrived I pulled this product out and started applying We adopted a stray who was spayed right before we took her home.

As soon as my Chewy package arrived I pulled this product out and started applying it on her. The first thing that struck me was how much I disliked the smell of the product itself once it interacted with my dog's odors. She smelled like she had just been sprayed down with medical grade antiseptic. However it's less noticeable once you rub it in, and certainly better than how she smelled before! After I sprayed some scented leave-in conditioner it was covered up pretty much completely. She smells better and better the more she airs out. The bottom line is I would highly recommend this product for an emergency cleanse, but don't depend on it to impart a pleasant scent. Use just enough so that all fur and skin makes contact with the foam. If your dog looks like it just came in from the rain you've gone too far and it will be very difficult to rub in/spread through the fur. It gave her coat some shine and I would have left it like that if she hadn't been struggling with flaky skin since we adopted her--hence the need for conditioner. … more

This works great!! I have two labs that love the dog park and then after a hard day of play want to lay on our couch and bed. We use this waterless shampoo and they smell amazing. It's crazy how well it works. Definitely will buy to keep my pups smelling great.

This product made it so easy to clean up my pup from rolling around in who knows what out in the yard...She's over 60 lbs, doesn't like the tub so when the weather outside doesn't allow for a quick rinse with the hose..which she also hates this is great! She smells great and her coat is shinny and clean!

Works really well. Thank you for all your great products and fast and prompt service. Saves going to the store and that's a plus.

I was hoping for a clean subtle scent with the natural ingredients listed, but this smells like a synthetic fragrance. The scent is so strong, very disappointing.

We bathe our cats once a week. Since using this our cats coats of fur just shine. Bathing them once a week with this really helps with my allergies.

Not sticky. Great for spot cleaning areas that don't require a full bath

Works well for getting dirt and mud off when you can’t give a bath.

no more stinky dog! my 90lb girl is terrified of bathes.. now i don't have to worry... thanks ARK NATURALS....

We use this for a bed-ridden dog. It smells great and cleans well. Doesn't leave any sticky film.
