People ask me about the grooming products I use on Beatle all the time, so I thought I'd put together a little list of my favorites. Some of them are specifically for poodle fur-type but some of them I use on Mari, too :) None of these are affiliate links, I'm just sharing because I get this question so often.

Chris Christensen’s Coral Brush

First up is Chris Christensen’s Coral Brush. I use this brush literally every single day, it has totally transformed the way I groom Beatle. I know it seems insane to spend that much money on a brush but seriously, it is magical. If you have a dog with poodle-like fur, you need this brush. If you have a dog with a different fur type, this brand has different types of brushes for different coat types. 

Butter Comb

Another Chris Christensen product— this comb is the best comb and can be used on any fur type.

CHI Detangling Spray

This detangling spray has been such a lifesaver for getting burs out of Beatle’s fur after she plays outside. It can be used on any coat type and works incredibly well to get tangles out of your dog’s fur.

White on White Shampoo

I’ve tried a LOT of whitening shampoos and this one is definitely my favorite. It cleans and whitens fur but it doesn’t bleach it, so it’s perfectly fine to use on dogs who aren’t solid white.

Blueberry Facial

This is another whitening shampoo I like a lot. The smell is absolutely amazing and lingers even after the bath but isn’t overpowering. It doesn’t whiten the coat quite as well as White on White (linked above) but it works really well as a general shampoo.

Cucumber Melon Face Wash

This is a whitening foam specifically for your dog’s face. It’s gentle and doesn’t irritate the dog’s eyes and does a great job removing any stains on their face. The first time I used it, I couldn’t believe how well it worked. 

Lavender Dog Shampoo

This product is just a good general shampoo for any dog. The lavender smell is wonderful and it always leaves my dogs soft and clean.

Everyday Isle of Dogs Conditioner

This is the only brand I use for conditioner. They have two scents— Violet & Sea Mist (linked above) and Jasmine & Vanilla. I’ve tried, and highly recommend, both. On the rare occasion that I skip using this conditioner when bathing my dogs, I notice that it’s way harder to brush their fur out after. It makes a huge difference. 

Opawz Pet Hair Dye

I have tried just about every brand of dog hair dye on the market and Opawz is, in my opinion, the absolute best. The color is vibrant and lasts longer than any of the other brands I’ve tried. They also have a line of color shampoo which you apply in the bath like any normal shampoo, let sit for a while, and it gives you a temporary pastel color. 

Dog Sunscreen Spray

This isn’t exactly a grooming product but it’s something I use a lot so I wanted to include it. This natural sunscreen is for dogs who are hairless or who get shaved pretty short in the summer. Whenever I have Beatle clipped short I always apply this before we go outside in the sun. Dogs can get sunburnt just like humans, but using this product can prevent that.
