Burt’s Bees Care Plus+ Leave-In Conditioner

Bottle size: 12 ounces
Scent: Avocado

The same care that has gone into Burt’s Bees products for people since 1984 goes into its products for pets. The Burt’s Bees Care Plus+ Avocado & Olive Oil Leave-In Conditioner takes out the stress of brushing your dog’s unruly coat. It detangles matted hair while nourishing the skin.

The conditioner contains no sulfates, colorants, or fragrances and uses natural ingredients that are pH balanced for dogs. Hair will be left shiny and soft. The biggest issue with this product is the scent. Dog owners don’t like it and say that it makes “wet dog smell” even worse. Also, if too much of the conditioner is used, it can leave a greasy texture on the coat. Pros

  • Natural ingredients
  • Detangles coats

    • Cons

  • Unpleasant scent
  • Can leave a greasy residue behind

    • John Paul Pet Oatmeal Conditioning Spray

    Bottle size: 8 ounces
    Scent: Almond

    John Paul Pet Oatmeal Conditioning Spray uses a botanical formula to soothe skin and condition coats. It’s made with 13 ingredients, including aloe, panthenol, and chamomile, that combat itchy, dry skin. It contains no parabens and is cruelty free. These products are made by John Paul Mitchell, which makes a line of hair care products for people. Its animal products are tested on humans before being pH balanced and deemed safe for pets.

    The oatmeal in this spray nourishes the skin and keeps it moisturized. It also soothes irritated skin and makes long-haired coats easier to brush. This is a good option for dogs with sensitive skin and those that need help managing their coats. It leaves hair soft and shiny, with a light scent of almond.

    The spray nozzle is difficult to work and sometimes sprays in a circle rather than a straight line. This could be a defect from the manufacturer, but it’s been noted by several dog owners. Pros

  • Tested on humans first
  • Nourishes and soothes irritated skin
  • Pleasant almond scent

    • Cons

  • Nozzle may not work properly

    • FAQ

    Is leave in conditioner good for dogs?

    Leave-in conditioners can help relieve dogs of dry, itchy skin. They can restore moisture, help remove dead hair, and detangle coats, which is great for long-haired breeds. Even if your dog has a short coat, they can still benefit from the nourishing properties of leave-in conditioners.
