Even many natural ingredients can be irritating, and some could even lead to long-term damage. Some dogs hate baths, making it challenging and time-consuming to get them clean. Bathing a dog too frequently can remove valuable oils from the skin and coat, causing dryness and irritation and reducing defenses against bacteria.

And since this cleanser doesn’t require any rinsing, it’s perfect if you don’t have access to water. It’s also easier to use on dogs who might not feel as comfortable putting their paws into a cleansing cup.
