A bottle of bright orange gloop arrived in the bathroom this week. Written on the clear plastic bottle in big letters was the phrase ‘Dirty Beastie’. This sort of hinted it maybe for us, or for dad.
Made by Wahl, the people that make the hair trimmers and shampoos for humans, the bottle of bubbles is highly concentrated and needs to be watered down 32:1 before use.
Our first use came earlier today after our walk in the park. The recent damp conditions had made the paths quite muddy. As we scurried this way and that, it did not take long for our legs and tummies to become quite dirty.
Concentrated bubbles
With the rain starting to pour down outside, our arrival home was a familiar event this summer, as we were whisked straight to the bathroom for a bath.
The summer this year has been not good for walks and for keeping us clean. Almost every walk has ended with a bath followed by many hours curled up as tight as possible, as we try and keep warm and dry off. Needless to say we are not very happy with this arrangement.
Bathtime
Downstairs, the hot water boiler kicks into action as mum starts to wash me down and try to remove the worst of the grime. We quite enjoy the inside rain tube, as it sprinkles warm water over our backs and under our tummies.
As the steam builds in the bathroom I start to relax and warm through. For some reason I always seem to go first, followed by Charlie.
With my coat soaked with warm water, mum prepares the bubbles. Mum drops a good sized dollop of ‘Dirty Beastie’ shampoo into a bowl before mixing it with water. This is then poured over me from my neck to my tail and lathered in.
As mum rubs and scrubs I can get chance to read the printing on the bottle which she has put on the edge of the bath:
Wahl Dirty Beastie Shampoo is based on natural ingredients and contains no harmful detergents or cleansers – so far this sounds good.
The perfectly balanced formula including extracts of Peach, Pear, Passion-Flower and Kiwi Fruit, will effectively cleanse dirty, thick or matted coats and deodorise even the smelliest creature – Smelliest creature must refer to Charlie
Designed to be powerful, yet gentle, Dirty Beastie will actively remove dirt, grease, stains and odours, rejuvenating the hair as it cleans – Maybe mum should try some as she could do with rejuvenating !
The shampoo contains beneficial natural ingredients that will promote healthy, glossy results every time – Glow in the dark maybe?
Formulated for all animal hair types including horses, dogs, cattle, goats, llama, alpaca, rabbits and ferrets, Dirty Beastie Shampoo rinses out easily, removing any ‘nasty niffs’ – Must be talking about Charlie again.
The coat will be clean, conditioned and manageable, with a fresh, lasting fragrance.
Nasty niffs, smelliest creature
Given the writing, I can only think they refer to Charlie with their descriptions, however it is now time for a good rinse and the run around the house to get dry, whilst mum has the challenge of washing the floor mop that is Charlie.
He just seems to soak up water, so this shampoo is ideal because it rinses out really well. This avoids him getting doggy dandruff and sore bits, if the bubbles are not washed away completely.
If we were asked to review, Dirty Beastie by Wahl, this product it would get a very high rating and we certainly recommend it.
Until next time
Buster and Charlie
