• Apply and lather: Pour a small amount into your hands and work it evenly through your dog’s coat from neck to tail.
• Let it sit: Leave the lather on your dog’s coat for about five to ten minutes so it can do its job.

• Dry and brush: Pat your dog dry with a clean towel, then brush gently to keep the coat smooth and shiny.
• Avoid eyes and mouth: Be careful not to let the shampoo come in contact with your dog’s eyes, nose, or mouth.
