This dog shampoo brush keeps the shampoo on the brush instead of running off your dog’s back: it is a small square bath brush made of soft silicone, with a chamber on top that holds shampoo while you scrub. It is made for bathing dogs, and cats who put up with a bath.
Shampoo on your hands, not on your dog
Your dog is wet, unhappy and halfway out of the tub. You pour shampoo on their back, it runs straight down their side, and you try to work it in with one hand while the other holds on. The bottle is slippery, the lather is thin, and most of it ends up on you.
Bare hands and a bottle waste the shampoo
Shampoo poured from the bottle runs off before you can work it in. A cloth soaks it up before it gets anywhere useful. And stopping to pour more every minute gives your dog one more chance to leave.
How the dog shampoo brush works
Open the lid on top and pour shampoo into the chamber, then close it. Slip your hand under the strap across the top, wet your dog, and scrub with the short silicone bristles underneath; the shampoo in the chamber lathers up as you brush. The brush is 8.5 × 8 × 5.5 cm (3.3 × 3.1 × 2.2 in), small enough to hold in one hand, and the strap goes over the back of your hand. Rinse it after the bath. More pet care gear is in pet accessories.
What it does well
- A shampoo dispenser brush for dogs. The shampoo rides in the brush, so you reach for the bottle less often mid-bath.
- A dog bath brush with a hand strap. A strap across the top goes over the back of your hand.
- A soft silicone pet bath brush. The bristles are short and soft silicone, not wire or hard plastic.
- Small and easy to grip. At 8.5 × 8 cm (3.3 × 3.1 in) it fits in a palm.
- A dog bath scrubber with a lid. The chamber closes with its own lid between fills.

Who it suits — and who it doesn’t
It suits anyone who bathes a dog at home and wants the shampoo where the scrubbing is, and cat owners whose cats tolerate a bath. It is a bath brush, not a de-shedding tool: it is for washing, not for pulling out undercoat. The bristles are short and their length isn’t given, so on a long or thick double coat they may not reach the skin.
Questions people ask
How do you use a dog shampoo brush?
Fill the chamber with shampoo and close the lid, wet your dog, slip your hand under the strap and scrub in circles. Refill the chamber if you run out partway through a big dog.
Will the shampoo leak out?
It can; leaking is the most common complaint about brushes of this kind. Close the lid fully after filling.
Can I use it as a cat bath brush?
Yes, for a cat who tolerates a bath; the supplier sells it for dogs and cats. Use a shampoo made for cats.
How do I clean it?
Rinse the bristles and the chamber under running water after each bath and let it dry.
Worth knowing before you order
The supplier doesn’t give the chamber’s capacity, so on a big or very hairy dog expect to refill it during the bath. Brushes of this kind can leak shampoo, so close the lid firmly and empty it before storing it. The three options are the same square brush in different colors.
Bath day comes around again
The next muddy walk is never far off, and bath day comes with it. Keep it with the shampoo, so it is at hand for the next one.
