On which dogs need this
This is aimed squarely at breeds with skin folds, tear stains or tail pockets — it isn't a general-purpose cream, and Bugalugs give no schedule beyond 'can be used daily', so there's no fixed frequency to follow if your dog's skin looks fine without it.
Why we chose it
Wrinkled breeds get skin problems that straight-coated dogs never have to think about, and very little is stocked specifically for that gap. A cream built around corn starch to absorb moisture, rather than just fragrance the fold, is doing an actual job rather than papering over the smell.
— Matt, founder
Size guide & how to measure
Pet coats and jumpers are sized mainly by back length, with chest girth as a second check. Back length matters most for coverage.
How to measure
- Back length: measure along the spine from the base of the neck (collar area) to the base of the tail.
- Chest: measure around the widest part of the ribcage, behind the front legs.
- If the two measurements suggest different sizes, choose by back length and allow for the chest.
| Size | Typical back length | Typical chest |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 20–25 cm | 30–40 cm |
| S | 25–32 cm | 38–50 cm |
| M | 32–40 cm | 48–62 cm |
| L | 40–50 cm | 60–76 cm |
| XL | 50–60 cm | 74–92 cm |
Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description
A wrinkle that never fully dries between cleanings is doing more damage than the mess sitting in it — trapped moisture is what actually causes sore, smelly skin underneath a fold, not the dirt itself.
This cream is built around modified corn starch, to absorb moisture and grease, alongside oat kernel flour and oil, grape seed oil and a long list of stabilising and conditioning agents. Bugalugs' method is to clean the wrinkle first — they sell a separate Wrinkle Wipe for that — then apply a large pea-sized amount, working it liberally into the skin itself rather than just the fur, and wipe away any excess. It's meant to be used as part of a daily routine. It's a 75g tub.

Who it's for: owners of a wrinkly, flat-faced or folded-tail breed dealing with sore or smelly skin folds, tear stains or tail pockets, wanting a daily routine rather than a once-a-problem fix.
