Soothe. Calm. Restore.

A luxurious, gentle blend for delicate, sensitive skins to restore, calm and soothe, from pups to seniors, including smooth and hairless coat and breed types and mature skins.

Specifically formulated using only the finest quality plant-based ingredients, free of harsh chemicals, it gently cleanses the coat without irritating or stripping the natural oils.

Balm Mint and Chamomile combine for their known mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties to gently clean and moisturise. Rosemary nourishes and helps make the hair look fuller, making it ideal for patchy coats. Oat, full of nutrients, such as omega 3 and 6, provides gentle, soothing nutrients for the skin. Blending Sunflower rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals with Linseed loaded with omega 3 fatty acids is known to be deeply moisturising and coat conditioning.

Harnessing the proven power of New Zealand’s ‘liquid gold,’ Manuka Honey to feed, protect and renew dogs’ skin, and as a natural humectant, it draws in moisture for lustre and high-shine. With New Zealand bioactive botanicals Kiwi, Flax and Pohutakawa, rich in vital minerals and antioxidants to deeply condition, nourish and moisturise the skin and coat.

Infused with added vitamin B5 and E for optimal coat health and shine.

This gentle expertly crafted blend is calming and especially formulated for sensitive, delicate skin and coat leaving it feeling silky, soft while promoting healthy lustre and natural shine.

Delicately fragranced with our natural signature Scent No.3.

Cat friendly.

The exquisite Scent No.3 is a soothing, elegant delight to the olfactory senses of floral-savory and green top notes, with lingering notes of gorgeous Magnolia and Rose, blending the woody-sweet aroma of Cedarwood Virginia and fresh Coriander. The lasting impressions of creamy-soft Vanilla and warm-woody Sandalwood are gentle and delicate. This enchanting, soft fragrance will leave your dog with a calming, comforting and lavish feeling.

Perfectly balanced and carefully crafted for the sensitivity of a dog’s sense of smell – fragrant but not overwhelming, leaving a beautiful aroma appropriate for dogs. Certified 100% Natural fragrance.

Soothing shampoo

I have only used the product for a very short time. I do have a client who seems to hide under the couch after her groom. However, after using your soothing shampoo and conditioner for her last groom, this behaviour ceased. So far so good and it seems to be a good product.
