TropiClean SPA Renew, 3.8 l is a restoring shampoo for dogs and cats from the spa range of the American brand TropiClean. It repairs damaged coats with deep nourishment and moisture from hydrolysed wheat protein, while ginger and white plum extracts leave the coat manageable, vibrant and glossy. The shampoo leaves a long-lasting fruity, floral scent. In the 3.8 l jug, the shampoo is concentrated and must be diluted 1:10 with water before use.
Ingredients
Water, white plum, hydrolysed wheat protein, vitamin E, panthenol, a mild coconut-derived cleanser, oatmeal, nectarine, ginger and white tea. Wheat protein and panthenol restore hair structure, vitamin E and oatmeal nourish and soothe the skin, and the mild coconut base cleans without drying. The manufacturer describes the shampoo as eco-friendly and pet-safe.

Diluting and bathing
Shake the jug well and mix 1 part shampoo with 10 parts water — for example, 50 ml shampoo to 500 ml water. Store the mixture in a separate pump bottle. Wet the coat, apply the solution and massage it all over, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Repeat if needed. For best results, the manufacturer recommends following with a moisturising conditioner.

Who benefits from 3.8 l
The jug is designed for groomers, breeders, shelters and owners of large dogs or several pets. Diluted 1:10, it makes about 41 litres of shampoo — enough for dozens of baths even for a big dog. If you bathe one small pet once a month, a small bottle is more practical.
Which coats it suits
The shampoo is especially useful for coats damaged by frequent washing, blow-drying, clipping, sun and winter dryness. It suits long-haired dogs — Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Maltese — and show animals that need a glossy, manageable coat. For home care between baths, see caring for your dog's coat at home. If the coat tangles badly, TropiClean Tangle Remover spray helps.
For cats
Cats are bathed less often than dogs, usually when very dirty or before a show. The shampoo suits them too, but rinse especially thoroughly, as cats lick their fur. For bathing a cat without stress, see how to bathe a cat.
Who it suits
Groomers, breeders and owners of several or large dogs, and anyone who needs restorative care for dry, damaged coats. More products are in the shampoos and conditioners section and the dog shampoo collection.
Verdict
TropiClean SPA Renew 3.8 l is a restoring shampoo concentrate with white plum, ginger, wheat protein, panthenol and vitamin E that leaves damaged coats soft and glossy. Very economical at 1:10 dilution. The downsides are the high cost of the jug, which only pays off with frequent bathing, and the strong scent.
