2 in 1 Oatmeal & Aloe Wash

How to care for coats: First, get your little mate all wet with warm water. Now apply Rufus & Coco 2in1 Oatmeal & Aloe Wash to a few different areas of the coat, and massage it in to get a really good lather going. Then simply rinse and towel, or chamois dry. Do this whenever your pet needs a wash, and use Rufus & Coco's 4in1 Pamper Spray after or between washes for a super glossy rockstar finish.

Cocomide DEA Oatmeal Extract: Oatmeal extract soothes irritated or itchy skin. It's perfect for pooches that are a little on the sensitive side!

Aloe Vera Gel: Moisturises and promotes healing, extracted from the succulent Aloe Vera Plant.

Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5): This plant-derived ingredient acts as a penetrating moisturiser. It coats the hair and seals its surface, lubricates follicles, aids de-tangling, provides volume, control and makes strands appear shiny.

Hydrolysed Wheat Protein & Wheat Starch: Helps to strengthen and hydrate hair while increasing gloss, body and lustre, reducing static and fly-aways.

Hypoallergenic Fragrance: Our specially formulated signature scent is designed by perfumerers to be free from all known allergenic fragrances, and to evoke the fresh aroma of the Australian backyard.

Q: Why is using soap in washes a bad idea? 

A: Using soap in an animal's wash will affect their skin as the acid layer of their skin will be disrupted. This can create an environment where bacteria, parasites, and viruses can breed out of control!

Unknowingly, many pet parents may repeat washing their animals because of the smell caused by a proliferation of bacteria, making the problem worse as the skin's acid layer (pH level) becomes more imbalanced. Additionally, if the shampoo makes the skin feel dry, your pet will scratch at their skin, creating abrasions for bacteria to invade. It quickly becomes a vicious cycle.

None of the Rufus & Coco washes (shampoos) contain soap. Rufus & Coco products use a natural base and formulation specifically designed to the average pH of pets. Consider that the normal range of skin pH levels for humans is 5.2 to 6.2, which means it tends to be on the acidic side, whereas the pH levels for dogs and cats range from 5.5 to 7.5, tending toward a more alkaline concentration.

Hence we never recommend using human shampoos on pets and we eliminate the soap all together in our washes. Many humans choose soap free alternatives too for the same reason!

Rufus & Coco washes also contain a hypoallergenic fresh scent.
