What the label does not say

Hatchwells don't give a guide amount to use or a follow-up step like brushing it out on the information supplied — it's described as a dry-cleaning powder rather than a wash, with the practical detail left to you or a groomer's own routine. Being chalk, expect a pale residue if it's overapplied to a dark coat.

Why we chose it

It's a genuinely old-fashioned answer to a problem that hasn't changed — some dogs just won't tolerate a bath, and this gets a coat looking better without one. Groomers using the same tub for hand stripping is a decent sign it does what it says.

— 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 dog that dreads bath time doesn't stop needing to look presentable in between, which is where a dry powder rather than water and shampoo earns its place in the grooming kit.

Hatchwells' Chalk Powder is exactly what it says: chalk, used to dry-clean an animal's coat and bring up its shine without any water involved. It's meant for use between full baths, or on animals that dislike being bathed altogether, and groomers use the same powder when hand stripping a coat.

Dry-cleaning powder — no water needed

Who it's for: owners of dogs that dislike bathing, or anyone wanting to freshen a coat's shine between full baths without reaching for water.
