The Bob & Scottie Grooming Bar Collection is made in the Netherlands, pH-balanced at 6.5, and free of sulfates and parabens.
Most dog shampoos on the market are not actually made for dogs. They are simple adaptations of human formulas. Cheap, foamy, and not at all suited to what a dog's skin needs. At Bob & Scottie we turned it around: we started with the dog's skin and built the shampoo bar around it.
Why pH 6.5 makes a difference
A dog's skin has a pH between 6.5 and 7.5, more neutral than human skin at around 5.5. That difference may seem small, but it is not. A shampoo made for humans is too acidic for a dog's skin, even baby shampoo. If you use it anyway, you disrupt the skin's natural protective layer. The result: dryness, itching, irritation and a higher risk of infections.
Our Grooming Bar Collection is therefore pH-balanced at 6.5. Precisely tailored to what dog skin needs to stay healthy and balanced, wash after wash.
Sulfates and parabens
Sulfates are the cleansing agents that create the thick, creamy lather many shampoos advertise. Effective against dirt, but equally effective against the natural oils that protect your dog's skin and coat. In dogs with sensitive skin, you often see it straight away: dryness, tight skin and irritation.
Parabens are added as preservatives, purely to extend shelf life. They do nothing for your dog's skin and can cause problems for reactive skin. Our bars are made without parabens, sulfates, silicones or other fillers that simply do not belong.
Concentrated and zero waste
A shampoo bar is a pure formula, without water as a filler and without a plastic bottle. That makes it more concentrated, and therefore more economical, than a regular bottle of shampoo. No plastic thrown away after the last wash, no unnecessary transport weight from water. Just a bar that is used until nothing is left.
Vegan
Every Bob & Scottie bar is 100% vegan: no animal ingredients, no animal testing. A choice that fits how we think about care.
Made in the Netherlands
The entire Grooming Bar Collection is developed and produced in the Netherlands. That means short lines, strict control over every ingredient, and a product we stand behind.
The result
A shampoo bar tailored to your dog's skin rather than yours. No harsh cleansing, no unnecessary chemicals, no waste. Just a clean, healthy coat and a dog that visibly feels good.
