Melanie Newman Everyday Dog Shampoo is an Australian-made salon shampoo scented with tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils. It is formulated for drop, harsh and wired coats, and on gundog and spaniel types. It is the range Melanie Newman positions as gentle enough for frequent washing. The fragrance is a real essential oil blend rather than a light perfume — cool peppermint over earthy tea tree and eucalyptus is noticeable in a small bathroom, and some owners find it stronger than a supermarket shampoo.
Sold in 500ml, 1L and 5L, all the same formula. Browse the rest of the range in our Melanie Newman collection, or pair it with the matching Everyday Dog Conditioner.
Benefits
- Antibacterial odour control — Cuts the smell rather than covering it.
- Moisturises skin and coat — Adds moisture back instead of stripping the coat.
- Cools and soothes — The peppermint and eucalyptus leave the skin feeling cool.
- Built for frequent washing — Gentle enough to use more often than a clarifying shampoo.
Key Ingredients
Vitamin-enriched conditioning oils with essential oils of tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus. pH-balanced and free from SLS, parabens, petrochemicals and synthetic perfumes. 100% vegan and free from palm oil.
The 5L is a salon and commercial size aimed at groomers washing several dogs a day. It arrives as a heavy drum and does not include a pump - Melanie Newman sells one separately - so it is worth decanting into a smaller bottle for home use.
Dilution & How to Use
Melanie Newman does not publish a dilution ratio for this product, and none of the sizes are sold as a concentrate to be mixed down - the 5L holds the same formula as the 500ml, in a bulk salon container. Wet the coat through, work the product in from the neck back, leave it a minute on a dirty or heavily coated dog, then rinse until the water runs clear.
Care
Formulated for dogs. The essential oil blends in this range are not suitable for use on cats. Keep out of the eyes, store below 30°C out of direct sunlight, and patch test on a dog with known skin sensitivity before a full bath.
