We leveraged input from our veterinarians and artificial intelligence to identify key considerations to help you find the best puppy shampoo.
We scanned thousands of customer reviews and ratings and scored each product based on its performance against each of the key considerations. We then considered how popular a product is with Chewy customers and combined that with its key consideration scores to create the list of the best puppy shampoos.
Key puppy shampoo considerations
Ingredients
It is important to consider the ingredients in puppy shampoos as they can have a big impact on your furry friend's skin and coat. Look for natural and gentle ingredients that are suitable for puppies, and avoid harsh chemicals that may cause irritation or allergic reactions.
Moisturizing properties
Puppies have delicate and sensitive skin, so it is crucial to choose a shampoo that will not strip their skin of its natural oils. Look for moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera or oatmeal to keep your puppy's skin and coat healthy and hydrated.
Scent
While a pleasant scent may be appealing to us, it is important to choose a puppy shampoo with a mild and gentle scent. Strong fragrances can be overwhelming for puppies and may cause discomfort or even respiratory issues.
Tear-free formula
Puppies are known for their curious and playful nature, which can sometimes lead to shampoo getting into their eyes. A tear-free formula will ensure that your puppy's eyes are not irritated or harmed during bath time, making the experience more enjoyable for both you and your furry friend.
