PetNat Dermacton Shampoo Bar 100g
An effective but gentle shampoo to complement the Dermacton Range for itchy dogs. This fantastic shampoo contains the same advanced anti itch formula of high quality essential oils & herbal extracts as the Dermacton Cream and Dermacton Spray, to soothe dogs with itchy and irritated skin.
Helps dogs with known skin irritations, dry skin, or dogs that just seem to be itching for no obvious reason!
The Dermacton Shampoo is perfect on its own for milder skin issues. However, if you have a dog with more of a problem then PetNat recommend using alongside their Dermacton Spray or Dermacton Cream for the best results.
If using the Dermacton Shampoo alone, it is perfect if your dog has problem with any of the below:
- Itchy Skin
- Dry, flaky skin
- To deodorise the coat
- Mild yeast overgrowth
- Clearing the coat of possible allergens such as pollen
If you are using the Dermacton Shampoo alongside either the Dermacton Cream or Dermacton Spray it will also help with:
- Thickened dry Skin
- Spots of hot red skin
- Sore or broken skin – Caused by licking, itching & scratching
This product is designed for all breeds of dogs with a skin problem or just simply wanting to use a high quality natural shampoo.
It has been particularly successful for specific breeds renowned for suffering with problems with their skin, including Pomeranians, Bulldogs, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Poodles, Shar Pei, Terriers, Bichon Frise, Westies.

How To Use Dermacton Shampoo Bar for Itchy Dogs
This shampoo bar is very quick & easy to use simply:
Following a successful patch test:
- Wet both your dog’s coat & the shampoo bar
- Gently rub the Dermacton Shampoo bar over the coat – It will create a lather with minimal effort
- Massage into all areas of the coat & skin, adding a little more water if necessary.
- Leave for up to 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to do their magic, then rinse well
The Dermacton Shampoo bar is mild enough to be used as often as required, although generally PetNat would advise that you bath your dog only once or twice a week.
Why is this shampoo in a bar as opposed to a liquid?
When developing this shampoo, after testing multiple formulations, the bar format was by far the winner for being high foaming (even in hard water areas), easy to use and long lasting, which makes it very economical and effective. Plus, it is also kinder to the environment by using less packaging. The bar format also ensures that the shampoo is easily distributed across the whole coat without having concentrated areas of liquid shampoo, which as well as saving money, makes it easier to rinse out. Please note- each shampoo bar is handmade, so don’t worry if it isn’t perfectly uniform, each bar has been carefully weighed.
Which dogs will benefit from this shampoo?
Any dogs who suffer from skin irritations, doggy odour or who are sensitive to harsh shampoos will benefit from this shampoo. Alternatively, anyone who simply wants to use a more natural shampoo without harsh chemical detergents and preservatives.
How gentle is this shampoo?
It is very gentle and mild, and conditions the skin and coat. Great care has been taken to source the gentlest surfactants whilst maintaining the highest performance and foaming properties. The ingredients are all naturally derived, and the shampoo is both soap free and SLS, SLES free.
How should I use it to get the best results?
For best results use it once or twice a week. Ensure that you leave the shampoo on the coat for at least 5 minutes to ensure the ingredients get to work. If your dog has a difficult skin problem, to get the best results, we recommend that you use the shampoo in conjunction with the other products from our Dermacton range. Allow the Dermacton Shampoo to dry completely between uses by storing in a dry environment.
Are there any precautions using this shampoo?
As with all shampoos, try to avoid getting any in your dog’s eyes. In the event of accidental contact, rinse with plenty of water.
What is the shelf life of this product?
The shelf life of this product is 12 months from the date of purchase when stored in a cool place.
Could my dog be allergic to the shampoo?
Whilst this is hypoallergenic, unfortunately, it is possible for animals to be sensitive to any ingredient natural or not, so it is always recommended that you do a double patch test before first use.
Can it be used on other pets?
No, sorry. This product has been developed specifically for using on dogs. Unfortunately it is not suitable for using on other animals.
