🐶 Louie is now 16 months old, and while his skin isn’t particularly sensitive, I’ve always wanted to use the best products for him. When he first came home, his coat looked dry and tangled even after baths. Despite trying several recommended grooming products, I thought maybe that was just how his coat naturally was.
But right before Louie turned one, I came across Plush Puppy’s natural shampoo — Evening Primrose Oil while looking for a better brush. It completely changed our grooming routine, and I’ve been using it consistently ever since. Here’s a closer look at why I recommend this dog shampoo.
📍 Before Using Plush Puppy Shampoo
Louie became increasingly sensitive to brushing, especially around his front legs and left rear. Those areas tangled no matter how often I combed them. I even used mist sprays while detangling, which probably caused him pain. The mist smelled nice, but poor Louie would sneeze constantly.
🛁 Bath Time Routine Before Using the Shampoo
Louie actually enjoys baths now! He didn’t at first, but frequent visits to the groomer helped him get used to it. At home, he gets excited when I start filling the tub—he’ll tap his paws on the floor and look at me as if to say, “Hurry up with the spa!”
Here’s our monthly routine:
-
Week 1: Full grooming + spa at the pet salon
-
Week 2: Spa at home
-
Week 3: Basic grooming + spa at the salon
-
Week 4: Spa at home
🧴 Since frequent bathing can be harsh on dogs, I pay close attention to the products we use. Even when using mist every day, Louie’s fur used to get dry again within a day or two. The mist I was using then was already our second one, but I’ll talk more about that in another post.
🌿 About the Shampoo: Plush Puppy Evening Primrose
I use the 500ml bottle and dilute it at a 10:1 ratio, since Louie bathes weekly.
Shelf life is 24 months from the manufacturing date.
✨ Plush Puppy is a brand focused on minimizing chemicals and using high-quality natural ingredients.
They offer different shampoos depending on your dog’s coat type. Some pet owners mix different products, but I stick to just one. Since I dilute the shampoo and use only a small amount for Louie’s quick pre-wash, Evening Primrose alone is enough. I also didn’t want to mix scents.
This shampoo includes ingredients that protect the skin and moisturize the coat, making Louie’s fur softer and shinier.
🧼 Foaming Bottle & Usage Tips
I bought a small foaming bottle from Daiso. Even diluted, the shampoo lasts for around three baths. So I may not finish the 500ml bottle before its expiration date.
Make sure the foaming bottle has the right type of nozzle!
Out of curiosity, I pumped some shampoo onto my hand. It felt smooth and had a lovely natural scent. After bath time, Louie’s coat smells so fresh that even a friend who’s sensitive to typical “dog smells” said Louie only ever smells nice.

📸 After Switching to Plush Puppy
These photos are from 1–2 weeks after we started using the shampoo.
I finally saw the shine in Louie’s coat and thought, “He can have silky hair!”
📆 1–2 Months Later
The shine never left. Louie’s fur stayed glossy.
And best of all, he never sneezes with this shampoo!
💬 Final Thoughts
Louie is now clearly a silky-haired Yorkshire Terrier.
Of course, it’s not just the shampoo. Louie gets bathed every week, which can dry out a dog’s coat. We’ve always used spa treatments, conditioner, and mist—even before we found Plush Puppy.
But I can’t say for sure that only the shampoo made the difference. I changed the shampoo, conditioner, and mist all at once. Still, what I can say for certain is this:
💖 Louie now smells amazing and feels incredibly soft.
