Shampoo Review

As Rocky is not getting full baths too often and only if it's really necessary, I was not able to actually use all the shampoos yet.
However, I have smelled all the shampoos and they smell great! As I am not a big fan of herby smelling shampoos (many dog shampoos do however smell herby), I was very happy with the Fruity Shampoo range because they really do smell fruity! I also especially liked the fresh smell of the Tawny & Brown Coat Shampoo.

I think it's great that there is a huge variety of shampoos available that are each created for a different purpose. There is for example anti-itching shampoo, repairing shampoo, volumizing shampoo and insect-repellend shampoo, as well as colour enhancing shampoos for black & dark coats, grey coats, tawny & brown coats, and white coats. So there is a Dog Generation shampoo for every coat and colour.

Another thing that I really like is that this shampoo has to be diluted before using it on the pet. When using it, 1 volume of shampoo has to be mixed with either 2 or 3 volumes of water (this is instructed on the back of each shampoo!) in order to obtain a total of 3 or 4 volumes of the solution. I think this procedure makes it actually easier to put the shampoo solution onto the dogs fur rather than directly applying the shampoo.

So overrall, I think the Dog Generation shampoo ranges are great.

 

 

   

Dog Generation Jojoba Oil Detangling Conditioner

Description of the Dog Generation Jojoba Oil Detangling Conditioner: "The creamy texture of the Jojoba conditioner contains all necessary properties to take care of long hair. The formula has been especifically designed to remove static electricity and to ease the untangling process by straightening hair capsules.
Enriched with jojoba oil, it keeps the coat moisturised and reduces excesses of sebum.
Especially recommended for Yorkshire, Afghan Hound, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso …"

(Text source: www.doggeneration.com/site/en/content/jojoba-oil-detangling-conditioner)

Ingredients: Aqua / Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Behentrimonium Chloride, Methoxy PEG/PPG-7/3 Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Diazolidinyl Urea, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Parfum / Fragrance, Linalool.

Review: I think that the conditioner is great for long-coated dogs as I can see how untangling and managing the long hair can be difficult. I however think that the conditioner is not necessary for short haired dogs per se.

The Jojoba Oil Detangling Conditioner does nevertheless smell very pleasant.

Like the shampoos, the Jojoba Oil Detangling Conditioner has to be diluted using 1 volume of conditioner and 2 volumes of water in order to obtain a total of 3 volumes of the solution. Again, I really like this, as it makes it a lot easier to massage into the dogs fur.

So overall, I think it's a good product, but rather needed for long-haired dog breeds.

 

 

 

"Oh My Dog!" Cleaning Wipes

Description of the "Oh My Dog!" Cleaning Wipes:  "Start the cleaning from the outside of the ears, then continue with the coat and finish with the paws. The plum & vanilla fragrance has been specially elaborated to match with the Oh My Dog! fragrance"

(Text source: www.ohmydog.eu/en/content/c7050-cleaning-wipes-en)

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Polysorbate 20, 1.2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Methyl-2 Octynoate, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Methylisothiazolinone, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Tropolone.

Review: Over time I have become a fan of cleaning wipes. I just love how easy cleaning wipes are to use and rather than having to bath the whole dog, you can simply clean the areas that are dirty.

Even though the Oh My Dog! Cleaning Wipes can be used on the whole body, I have only used them on the ears and the paws, as those only really needed cleaning.

The smell is very pleasant even though I find it a bit strong at first. However, after the package is opened for a while the fragrance does decrease.

Overall, I think cleaning wipes are great as they are easy and quick to use without having to give a whole body bath to your dog.

 

 

   

"Oh My Dog!" Doogy Magnet Mascot

Description of the "Oh My Dog!" Doogy Magnet Mascot: "Doogy is a lucky charm that gives special powers to its owner. But beware; Bad Doogy is prowling and with him, all the unlucky spells he is capable of spinning...
Metallic box containing :
• One Doogy (Good OR Bad)
• One "Oh My Dog!" Perfume extract"
(Text source: www.ohmydog.eu/en/content/c0760-doogy-who-are-you-en)

Ingredients of the "Oh My Dog!" Perfume: Alcohol Denat. (SD Alcohol 39-C), Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, BHT.

Review: I think that the Doogy Magnet Mascot is cute and a fun idea as a gift.
As the Doogy is magnetic it can be attached to all sort of magnetic surfaces. It is also bendy so you can place it in different positions.
About the perfume; I have tried it on myself and it does smell very lovely. However, I personally don't like to have perfume on my dog as I love his natural sweet scent.
So overall, I think it's generally a fun little gift even though dog parfumes are not for us.
 
 
 
Overall Review

Overall I think the ChaDog Diffusion products are great. The brands Dog Generation and Oh My Dog! have a great variety of products available, and I especially like the shampoos and cleaning wipes.
The delivery was also very fast. I received my package within 4 days which I think is very quick considering it came from France.
So all in all, the products are great and delivery is super fast.

John Paul Pet Awapoochi Shampoo

The Awapoochi Shampoo has an exclusive blent of botanical extracts, with a pH level that is just right for pet's skin. No strong perfumes are used that could irritate sensitive noses!

The Awapoochi Shampoo's forumla consists of Hawaiian Awapuhi extract and John Paul Pet's unique exotic botanical blent, and was designed to reactivate the shine in pet's fur. It does NOT contain any Parabens or EDTA.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua/Eau), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide MEA, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract, Basamino PEG/PPG-41/3 Aminoethyl PG-Propyl Dimethicone/Hedychium Coronarium (White Ginger)/PEG-12 (Dimethicone), Bisamino PEG/PPG-41/3 Aminoethyl PG-Propyl Dimethicone/Algae Extract/Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract/Anthemis Noblis/Lawsonia Inermis/Henna/Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba)/Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary)/PEG-12 Dimethicone, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Choride, Citric Acid, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Oats, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum).

Directions: Massage into damp fur avoiding eyes and ears. Gently use a wet sponge or washcloth on the face. Work lather down to the tail. Rinse well with cool, clear water. Repeat for extra cleaning ordeodorizing. Towel dry, then brush and comb periodically until coat is completely dry.

Review: I think the John Paul Pet Awapoochi Shampoo is absolutely brilliant! The shampoo is adjusted to the dog's pH level and is therefore perfect for dogs. It is very easy to massage into the fur and it is very quickly washed out of the fur. Many dog shampoos keep foaming and they take really long to wash out. However, this shampoo is washed out super quickly. In addition, this shampoo smells very nice, whereby the smell vanishes quite quickly again so that the dog is not irritated. I was especially impressed about how shiny and soft the fur was straight after it was dried and washing didn't make the fur at all dull.
Even though Rocky is hardly ever bathed (unless it should be absolutely necessary which it was in this case), I think this shampoo is great and will keep using it.

John Paul Pet Ear & Eye Wipes

The pre-moistened wipes have been specifically formulated to help to remove tear stains and matter that accumulates around the ears and eyes. They are easy to use and absolutely painless for pets. Fragrance free.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua, Eau), Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Phenoxylethanol, Polysorbate 20, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Sodium Chloride, Boric Acid. 

Directions: Gently wipe the outer edge of eyes and ears. Repeat cleaning daily for best results.

Review: The John Paul Pet eye & ear wipes are very easy to use. They clean the inner surface of the ear and the eyes quite well due to being pre-moistened. I was however not able to remove Rocky's tear stains completely, but the wipes are still very suitable for the daily cleansing. I think that these wipes are quite big for small dogs, so I simply cut them in half which is very easily done.

John Paul Pet Tooth & Gum Wipes

These pre-moistened wipes are specifically formulated to help promote dental hygiene in your pet. They are painless and easy to use in order to help promote fresh breath and healthy gums.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua, Eau), Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 20, Propylene Gycol, Fragrance, Sodium Bicarbonate.

Directions: Massage wipes into and around teeth and gums. Repeat cleaning daily to help eliminate pet bad breath.

Review: I was very pleasently surprised about the John Paul Pet Tooth & Gum Wipes. After using them for a few days Rocky had a very fresh breath and didn't smell out of his mouth at all! Even though these wipes do not remove plaque or tartar, the wipes improve dental hygiene by eliminating bacteria which lead to plaque and tartar. I think these wipes are absolutely great and recommend them to everyone.
