What Johnson's have not published

There is no ingredient list, no dilution ratio and no pH figure for this shampoo anywhere in what Johnson's have supplied, and "hypo-allergen" is not a term a product has to be tested against before it can go on a bottle. That matters more here than on an ordinary shampoo, because the whole reason someone reaches for this one is that they are trying to work out what their dog reacts to. A dog whose skin is already broken, weeping or smelly needs a vet rather than a different wash.

Why we chose it

Five litres is the size you buy once you already know a shampoo agrees with your dog, not the size you experiment with. Per wash it undercuts every other container this formula comes in, which is the whole reason we stock the big bottle instead of the small one. It is heavy, so it is worth ordering before the last one runs dry rather than after.

Specifications

Brand: Johnson's

Full description

Sensitive skin turns washing a dog into a process of elimination. You try one shampoo, the scratching carries on or gets worse, you try another, and after a year there are five part-used bottles under the sink and no clear idea which of them was the problem. The useful moment is not finding a formula that suits — it is the moment after that, when you stop guessing and start buying properly.

This is the 5 litre bottle from Johnson's professional shampoo range, and it is the size that follows the guessing rather than starting it. Johnson's describe it as an extra-mild formula intended for dogs with sensitive skin, meant to leave the coat clean and fresh and to help avoid skin problems. That one sentence is the entirety of what has been published to us about it.

Who it's for: groomers, breeders and multi-dog households who already know this formula suits the dogs they wash, and want the container that costs least per bath rather than the one that fits on a bathroom shelf.

Common questions

What does hypo-allergen actually mean on this bottle?

Johnson's use it to describe an extra-mild formula intended for dogs with sensitive skin. There is no standard a pet shampoo has to pass before that word can be printed on it, and Johnson's publish no ingredient list here, so read it as a statement of what the formula is aiming at rather than a tested claim.

Is it suitable for cats?

The description supplied to us names dogs with sensitive skin and nothing else. Nothing about cats has been supplied, so we would not assume it covers them.

How much is in the bottle, and does it need diluting?

It is a 5LTR bottle. No dilution ratio has been published to us, so treat it as ready to use unless the bottle in your hands says otherwise.

Will it stop my dog itching?

No such claim has been supplied. Johnson's say it is meant to leave the coat clean and fresh and to help avoid skin problems. It is a shampoo rather than a medicine, and persistent scratching, bald patches or sore skin are a vet's job.
