Best Waterless Dog Shampoos

A little of this formula goes a long way, even on dogs with longer hair. It may not replace baths in your home, but it will help you reduce their frequency. No toxic ingredients, and does a great job of deodorizing your dog as well.

Rosemary-derived, all natural formula. Mild, safe, and beneficial for sensitive skin. Does not contain any harsh chemicals or laureth sulfate. Does not interfere with topical flea treatments. Deodorizes; removes odor rather than masking it. Cruelty-free. Quick drying. Seems to work on longer hair. Does not stain white hair.

Spray-on Waterless Dog Shampoo

May not replace a bath, especially if the dog is very dirty, but it makes his coat shiny and gets rid of the "wet dog" smell. Some users complain the scent is stronger than they prefer.
