Has your dog ever gotten themselves into a mess while out and about? Well, did you know that you can give them a bath….without water!??
Isle of Dogs Waterless Dog Shampoo is a foaming shampoo that quickly soaks right into the coat. It doesn’t drip or leave your dog with a wet appearance. What it does do however, is make them smell a whole lot better, and can even remove grass stains from light coats.
