If your dog has rolled in something that they shouldn't have then you'll need more than water to get rid of the smell. That's why dog shampoo is so useful - these products are totally safe to use on your dog and will leave them smelling lovely and fresh. There are lots of options when it comes to dog shampoo, so that's why we thought it would be useful to round up the best dog shampoo that you can buy in the UK. Let's get into it:

Animology Dapper Dog

The Animology range features a variety of dog shampoos, but it's the Dapper Dog shampoo that we're most impressed with - it's a deodorising and conditioning shampoo which does everything you'd want for your dog's coat, leaving it very clean and smelling lovely. This dog shampoo is suitable for all coat types and can be used on any dog aged 6 weeks and more. A 250ml bottle of this dog shampoo is only £2.99, so it's also very well-priced.

All of the dog shampoo from the team at Groomers has been created with the help of experts within the grooming industry, so it really is a top-of-the-range product - made in the UK using quality ingredient, the dog shampoo from Groomers is ideal for all types of dog coat. Both the Calming and Detangle dog shampoos from the Groomers range (pictured) are excellent, and which one you choose for your dog will obviously depend on your dog's needs. If you're just looking to clean your dog and help them relax then the Calming shampoo is perfect as it's made using lavender oil.

As well as smelling excellent, this dog shampoo is 100% vegan and PH balanced, which makes it suitable for all dogs (including puppes from 8 weeks and upwards). Amazingly, the water used to make the dog shampoo from Bugalugs actually comes from the Lake District. Learn more and buy it here - jollyes.co.uk
