Hond wassen met shampoo, zachte vachtverzorging

Hondenshampoo: waarom de juiste keuze cruciaal is

De huid van uw hond heeft een andere pH-waarde dan die van mensen. Een gewone shampoo verstoort de huidbarrière, wat leidt tot jeuk, roos en een doffe vacht. Hondenshampoo is speciaal samengesteld om de natuurlijke talgproductie te respecteren en de vacht diep te reinigen zonder uit te drogen.

At Bopets you will find exclusively paraben-free and cruelty-free formulas, from hypoallergenic puppy shampoo to specialised treatments for white coats, sensitive skin and stubborn odours.

pH 7 De huid van honden is neutraal, mensenshampoo (pH 5,5) tast de huidbarrière aan
4-6× per jaar wassen volstaat, te vaak wassen verstoort de natuurlijke talglaag

Buying dog shampoo: how to choose the best shampoo for your dog

At Bopets you will find more than 160 grooming products for dogs, from dog shampoo and conditioner to detangling spray, dry shampoo, perfume and paw care. Our range includes three top brands: Biogance, Plouf and Organissime, all from the renowned French Biogance house. Whether you are looking for a shampoo for sensitive skin, a puppy shampoo, a formula for white coats or an anti-odour shampoo, all products are paraben-free, pH-neutral and not tested on animals. Also looking for care for your cat? Check out our cat shampoo.

Why use a special dog shampoo?

The pH value of dog skin (approx. 7.0-7.5) differs significantly from human skin (approx. 5.5) and cat skin (approx. 6.0). Regular shampoo or shower gel disrupts your dog's acid mantle, leading to dry skin, itching and flaking. Cat shampoo is also unsuitable, as the pH values are simply different. A good dog shampoo is pH-neutral for dogs, cleanses gently and preserves the natural sebum layer that protects the coat. Quality shampoos contain nourishing ingredients such as aloe vera, jojoba oil, oatmeal or chamomile.

How to wash your dog correctly?

Step 1: Brush the coat
Brush the coat before washing to remove tangles, loose hair and dirt. Use a slicker brush for long-haired dogs or a rubber brush for short hair. Water only makes tangles worse. For stubborn tangles, Biogance strong detangling lotion is a good preparation.
Step 2: Wet with lukewarm water
Wet the coat completely with lukewarm water. Water that is too hot irritates the skin; too cold is uncomfortable. Start at the paws and work slowly towards the back, avoiding the head initially.
Step 3: Apply diluted dog shampoo
Dilute the dog shampoo in a little water and massage it into the coat. Start at the neck and work towards the tail. Avoid eyes, ears and nose. Leave the shampoo for 2 minutes for the best result. Tip: the professional 5L bottles from Biogance are ideal for regular use and grooming salons.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly
Rinse the shampoo out completely, leftover residue causes itching and flaking. Rinse for longer rather than shorter. For long-haired dogs, you can apply Biogance Shine conditioner or Volume conditioner after rinsing.
Step 5: Dry well & finish
Pat the coat with a towel and do not let your dog outside with a wet coat in the cold. A hairdryer on low heat can help with long-haired dogs, but keep sufficient distance. Finish with Biogance Jojoba detangling spray for extra shine and easy combing.

Common mistakes when washing your dog

  • Using human shampoo: the wrong pH value (5.5 vs. 7.0) damages your dog's skin.
  • Using cat shampoo: the pH value of cat skin also differs, always use species-specific shampoo.
  • Washing too often: more than once a month removes the natural protective layer. Between baths, a Biogance Dry Shampoo or Fresh mist spray is sufficient.
  • Not rinsing properly: shampoo residue causes itching, flaking and a dull coat.
  • Not brushing out tangles first: water makes tangles worse. Use a detangling spray beforehand.

Frequently asked questions dog shampoo: natural, gentle & for every coat type

How often should I wash my dog with shampoo?
Most dogs need a bath every 4 to 8 weeks. Dogs that swim regularly or spend a lot of time outdoors may need washing more frequently. Avoid washing too often, as this can strip the natural oils from the coat.
Can I use human shampoo or cat shampoo on my dog?
No, human shampoo has the wrong pH value for dogs and can cause skin irritation. Cat shampoo may contain ingredients that are not suitable for dogs. Always use a shampoo specifically developed for dogs.
What is the best dog shampoo for a puppy?
Choose a mild, tear-free puppy shampoo without strong fragrances. Look for natural ingredients and a pH value suitable for the sensitive puppy skin.
What is the difference between Biogance, Plouf and Organissime?
Biogance is the premium line with natural ingredients and specific formulas per coat type. Plouf is the playful, affordable range for everyday use. Organissime is the organic line with certified natural ingredients.
What products do I need besides shampoo?
A conditioner for long or tangled coats, a detangling spray for daily use, and ear cleaner for floppy-eared breeds. For dogs with dry skin, a moisturising spray or oil can help.
Do you offer professional-size packaging?
Yes, several shampoos and conditioners are available in 1-litre or larger bottles. Ideal for groomers, breeders or multi-dog households.
Which dog shampoo is suitable for a dog with sensitive skin?
Choose a hypoallergenic shampoo without parabens, dyes or strong fragrances. Oatmeal-based shampoos or formulas with aloe vera are soothing for sensitive or irritated skin.
