Troubleshooting
Product seems less effective than expected.
Ensure you are using an adequate amount of shampoo and lathering it properly into the coat. Allow the shampoo to sit on the skin and fur for a few minutes before rinsing to let the ingredients work. Persistent issues may require consultation with a veterinarian.
Dog shows signs of irritation after use.
Although formulated for sensitive skin, individual sensitivities can occur. Discontinue use immediately and rinse your dog thoroughly with plain water. Consult your veterinarian to identify the cause of irritation. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application if you have concerns.
Shampoo appears thicker or thinner than usual.
Slight variations in consistency can occur due to temperature changes. If the consistency is significantly altered or unusual, check the expiration date. Store as recommended to maintain optimal consistency.
