You decide to bathe them, but you know it’ll take so long.

Adding the time you’d have to chase them around to get into the tub, you’re looking at about one hour of shampooing, scrubbing, and drying.

We get it - it can be a bit frustrating. The good thing is, there’s a quick and easy fix! You can use waterless dog shampoo wipes.

But now you’re asking, “are they really good at cleaning my furry friend”?

In this article, we’ll discuss:

• The benefits of using waterless shampoo wipes.

Are shampoo wipes good for pets?

Waterless shampoo wipes are excellent at removing light dirt and grime. It’s popular among dog owners in the UAE and Gulf countries, such as Kuwait and Saudi, because they’re easy to use. There are also brands that have moisturizing and conditioning properties in addition to your pet smelling good.

5 benefits of using waterless shampoo wipes

Convenience and lower costs

We know that when it comes to your pets, you’ll always want the best for them.

We do, too!

However, spending more on fancy soaps, shampoos, and other cleaning products doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better.

Some dogs with thick fur or have double coats need more showering than other smaller breeds. Your grooming costs can run quite high, especially if you have dogs such as:

• Shiba inus.
• Chow chows.
• Siberian huskies.
• Golden retrievers.
• German shepherds.

If you just want to lightly clean your pup’s body, in this case, you don’t need to go to your vet or groomer. Shampoo wipes for dogs are more than enough for their daily needs.

When you do, you’ll spend around Dhs 200-350. On top of that, you’ll have to take time to travel to the groomer and pick them up afterward.

All of these can be avoided when you use waterless shampoo wipes in the comfort of your home.

Less stress for your pets

For some pets, going to the vet can be stressful. 

Some dogs don’t like being around people they don’t know. Some also get frightened at seeing other animals while at the vet.

If your pet gets too scared at the vet, try using dry shampoo wipes instead. 

This way, you can avoid the negative effects of stress on your furry baby, such as:

• Extreme anxiety.
• Behavioral changes.
• Delays in illness recoveries.
• Fear of handling and interactions.

This also applies to your feline friends. You can give your cat shampoo wipes to keep them clean.

We’re not saying to stop visiting your groomer altogether. They’re still an essential part of your pet’s health. However, if these visits cause severe stress on your pet, it might be better to lessen them, especially if it’s only for general bathing and cleaning.

You can spot-clean your pets

As the name suggests, spot cleaning means cleaning certain parts of your pet. These areas usually get dirty easily but don’t need heavy shampooing to clean.

Examples of these would be:

• Eyes.
• Tails.
• Paws.
• Nose.

If your fur baby needs cleaning in these areas, you can use waterless shampoo wipes, and you’re good to go.

Warning: Be extremely careful when wiping around their eyes and their noses. These parts are very sensitive for animals, and harshly wiping them may cause discomfort and stress.

They are travel-friendly

Traveling in the UAE or any country along the Gulf can get your pets a bit dusty, and having a few waterless shampoo wipes can go a long way.

Your pets won’t be bringing in sand and dust inside your vehicle after a few wipes, especially if you purchase ones that are of high quality.

Waterless shampoo wipes are also small in size, which means they can be placed inside your furry friend’s supply bag.

They can be used on pets with skin sensitivities

Some dogs may have skin issues that might make it hard for them to use traditional pet shampoos.

Waterless shampoo wipes, on the other hand, aren’t going to be as much of an irritant compared to traditional shampoos. Some brands even offer hypoallergenic formulas that care for your furry friend’s skin.
