How do I use the shampoo? | FAQ

Using shampoo correctly is just as important as choosing the right product.

The shampoos available on DIXY'S are concentrated and must be diluted before use. The recommended dilution is up to 1:30, meaning 1 part shampoo to 30 parts water.

To dilute the product correctly, you can use a mixing bottle, a clean container, or a measuring jug. Pour in lukewarm water first, then add the shampoo, close the container, and gently shake to mix.

What does 1:30 mean in practice?

Small dog → 10 ml shampoo + 300 ml water
Medium dog → 20–30 ml shampoo + 600–900 ml water
Large dog → 40 ml shampoo + 1200 ml water

If needed, for example in the case of long, dense, or very dirty coats, you can increase the quantity while maintaining the same ratio.

Proper procedure

Prepare the diluted shampoo before starting
Thoroughly wet the coat with lukewarm water
Apply the diluted shampoo gradually, distributing it evenly
Massage gently with your hands, without scrubbing harshly
Leave it on for the recommended time, if indicated
Rinse thoroughly until all residue is removed

A well-formulated shampoo should cleanse while supporting the natural structure of the coat, without altering its balance over time.

Proper dilution

Improves product distribution
Prevents build-up
Makes washing gentler
Helps with more effective rinsing

The goal is not to wash more, but to wash better, respecting your dog's coat and skin.

An important aspect to consider

If a shampoo does not require dilution, it often means it is already largely composed of water. This results in using a greater quantity at each wash, without necessarily achieving better cleansing.

Similarly, it's important to observe how much foam the shampoo produces:
