Pet Head – Puppy

Product Details

Pet Head Mucky Pup is a rinse-out puppy shampoo from the Mucky Pup grooming range. It is intended for use during a full bath and should be applied only after the coat has been thoroughly wet with warm water.

The shampoo is designed for a puppy’s developing skin and coat. It uses a milder grooming approach than a product intended for heavy adult-dog cleaning or specialised coat treatment.

This is a cosmetic grooming product rather than a medicated shampoo. Puppies with persistent itching, redness, hair loss, sores or unusual odour should be assessed by a veterinarian before routine bathing continues.

Formula & Safety

The Mucky Pup formula includes several oils and extracts selected for gentle puppy coat care. The complete ingredient declaration should always be checked on the current product packaging, particularly where a puppy has known sensitivities.

Pet Head describes its products as vegan, cruelty free, pH balanced and made without parabens, dyes or harsh surfactants. The Mucky Pup range is also described as gluten free and nut free.

Keep the shampoo away from the puppy’s eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Do not use it on open wounds or severely irritated skin. Rinse immediately with clean water if accidental eye contact occurs.

A puppy should remain warm throughout bathing and drying. Avoid bathing in a cold or draughty area, and dry the coat thoroughly after rinsing.

Directions for Use

Gently wet the puppy’s coat with warm water. Apply a suitable amount of shampoo and massage it through the fur, taking care to avoid the eyes and ears.

1. Prepare warm water, towels and the shampoo before starting.
2. Brush out loose dirt or tangles where appropriate.
3. Wet the puppy’s coat thoroughly with warm water.
4. Apply a small amount of shampoo and massage gently.
5. Avoid the face, eyes and inner ears.
6. Rinse thoroughly until no shampoo remains.
7. Towel dry or use a pet-safe blow-dryer setting.

Keep the first bath calm and brief. Use secure footing in the bath or basin so the puppy does not slip, and support the puppy throughout the process.

Do not leave the puppy unattended near water. Stop the bath if the puppy becomes distressed, chilled or unusually tired.

Close the bottle securely after use and store it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Use within 18 months after opening.
