Curly Coat Detangling Shampoo

£15.95

A specialised detangling shampoo for curly and wavy coats — the doodles, Bichons, Maltese, Poodles, and their cousins.

Curly coats need different oils to behave well; macadamia and cotton seed oils mimic natural sebum closely, redistributing through corkscrew structures gently and evenly. Argan oil, hydrolyzed silk, and keratin strengthen the strand against breakage. The detangling action works during the wash and last after.

What this means for you. A bath that ends with a coat that combs out, instead of one that resists every stroke. Less crying — yours and theirs.

What this means for your pet. No more tugging through tangles. A coat that finally feels right. Less of the post-bath restlessness that comes from being uncomfortable in your own fur.

pH balanced. Sulphate-free. Paraben-free. Vet-recommended. Pet-approved Frutastic Mango fragrance.

For curly, wavy, and double coats. Pair with the Detangling Spray for best results. A little goes a long way — can be diluted up to 1:5 with water if you'd like it to last longer.

For the doodles and their cousins.

Comb your pet first, to remove excess hair and dirt. Wet coat with tepid water and apply shampoo. Lather and rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact with eyes and ears..

Suitable for curly and wavy coats, such as Poodles, Doodles, Lagotto Romagnolo, Bichon Frisé, Old English Sheepdog, etc.

Why choosing the right product matters?

Choosing the right shampoo for your dog’s coat type is essential to maintain both the health of their skin and the condition of their coat, while also making your life easier. Different coats—whether double, single, curly, or short—have unique needs in terms of hydration, cleansing, and protection. Using the wrong shampoo can lead to dryness, irritation, or ineffective cleaning, excess shedding, or unfixable tangles, while the right formula helps preserve natural oils, reduce shedding, enhance texture, and keep the coat looking its best.

Ultimately, a tailored shampoo supports your dog’s comfort, appearance, and overall well-being.

I used this shampoo on my cockerpoo who gets terribly matted. Anyone with one of the doodle breeds will know the constant fight to keep their very specific kind of hair mat free. Usually getting her wet just makes her mat more no matter what shampoo I use, but after using this I was able to brush her out really smoothly and she looks the most silky smooth she's ever looked! She also smells really nice, which is a definite bonus, although, to be honest, the detangling effect works so well I think I would have kept using it even if I didn't like the scent!It did take a fair bit of the shampoo to get a decent lather, but it eventually lathered up well. The pump bottle is great because wrestling a wriggling dog in a wet bathroom while trying to manage not to spill an open bottle is next to impossible.I like that the shampoo is pH balanced, sulfate and paraben free and cruelty free, and that the way it eases the tangles makes grooming less uncomfortable for my dog. It may not be one of the cheapest shampoos I've tried at £15.95 fot 350 ml (price at time of review) but I consider it worth it. I don't think I would pay this much normally for a dog shampoo, but for a problem coat like a cockerpoo's, that I've tried multiple things for and never been able to keep nice before, I absolutely will!

Smells divine

Smells gorgeous and great detangling formula, especially for my cockapoos long wavy coat. Both came out super soft and fluffy. Very happy with this shampoo as some tend to flare up my dogs sensitive skin, this however has been good with no sign of irritation. Effectively deep cleans the coat leaving beautifully clean and tangle free fur.

Smells lovely, does the job

Ordered this to try as my dog has a fine wavy coat that gets knots/matts very easilyI do try to keep on top with brushing but anything that helps reduce tangles is a bonusThis shampoo smells lovely and lathers well, does not irritate and my dog doesnt seem to mind the scent (he doesnt like anything too 'perfumed')So far so good, I have used this twice and been impressed that his coat has fewer tugs and little knots - his ears are still the biggest problem area but it will take more than a detangle shampoo to stop knots thereOverall very pleased, his fur is lovely and soft and it cleans well without irritation

Detangle

Excellent for my Cockapoo

Brilliant!

I love this dog shampoo.I have a labradoodle. His fur is quite wirey on his back but curly on his head and legs and this shampoo is brilliant for both. His back was left silky smooth and his head and legs were so much easier to brush afterwards.The smell is lovely and the fact that it’s gentle on skin is a bonus as my dog suffers from allergies.The smell lasts for quite sometime after washing and you don’t need to use too much shampoo per bath so the bottle should last quite some time.Absolutely love this and would recommend
