Moisturizing Bathing Package
For short‑coated, sensitive‑skinned, or dry‑skinned breeds such as Pitbulls, Bulldogs, Boxers, Chihuahuas, Pugs, Beagles, and more.
This Moisturizing Bathing Package is designed for dogs with short coats or naturally sensitive skin. These breeds often struggle with dryness, itchiness, or irritation, so this package focuses on hydration, skin protection, and gentle cleansing. Use this package for breeds your groomer or guide identifies as moisturizing coat types.
