Grooming Advice
How often should I bathe my dog?
How often should I bathe my dog?
We recommend bathing your dog with Pawlysh once a week. Regular weekly washing helps keep the skin healthy, reduces irritation, and prevents buildup of dirt, allergens, and odors — especially in large and XL breeds with dense coats. Grooming appointments are usually spaced weeks apart, so an at-home weekly bath bridges the gap, keeping your dog comfortable and looking their best. Think of it like your own routine: we use creams, shampoos, and conditioners on our hair and skin daily to stay clean and hydrated — why wouldn’t we give our dogs the same care at least once a week? With gentle, vet-approved ingredients like manuka honey, oats, and aloe, Pawlysh is safe for frequent use without stripping the coat.

What’s the best way to use your conditioner?
What’s the best way to use your conditioner?
Apply to wet fur after shampooing, focusing on dry or tangled areas. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes before rinsing. It doubles as a leave-in for extra hydration on coarse coats.
Does your product help with shedding or matting?
Does your product help with shedding or matting?
Yes. Our Signature Conditioner loosens the undercoat and helps detangle long fur. Weekly brushing plus our formula means easier grooming and less hair everywhere. For best results, we also recommend using a grooming glove while shampooing and conditioning — it helps lift loose undercoat, distribute product evenly, and leaves the coat smoother and healthier.
