Paul Mitchell Pet Care
Paul Mitchell Pet Care: Salon-Quality Grooming for Dogs
Yes, it really is the same Paul Mitchell. The pet care range was created by John Paul DeJoria (one of the brand's two original founders) for his own dogs, and it's built around a simple idea: dogs deserve the same standard of grooming products as humans, just properly formulated for their skin and coat. Every Paul Mitchell pet care product we stock at Revive in Codsall is genuine, sourced through authorised UK distribution, and sits at the salon-quality end of the dog grooming aisle.
Why does it matter that it comes from a hairdressing brand? Because the formulas behave the way good shampoo should. They lather properly, rinse cleanly, leave coats soft instead of straw-like, and skip the sulphates, parabens and harsh detergents that cheaper pet shampoos rely on. They're also pH balanced for canine skin (which sits higher than human skin), so you can't just swap your own shampoo onto the dog and call it a day.
What's in the Paul Mitchell Pet Care Range?
- Awapuhi Wild Ginger Shampoo: A gentle everyday wash with ginger root extract for shine and a clean, light scent.
- Tea Tree Shampoo: Cooling, deodorising and great for dogs prone to itchy skin or that classic damp-dog smell.
- Lavender Mint Shampoo: Calming for nervous dogs and ideal as a pre-groom wash before clipping or scissoring.
- Full Coat Shampoo: For double coats, long coats and breeds that need extra slip when detangling.
- Sensitive Skin Shampoo: Fragrance-free and tear-free for puppies, sensitive skin or dogs with allergies.
- Conditioner and Spray Detangler: The bit most people skip and shouldn't. Makes brushing easier and coats noticeably softer.
Designed by Hairdressers, Made for Dogs
We've worked with hair and product for the best part of two decades at Revive, and the same principles that make a good professional shampoo translate well to a good pet shampoo: clean ingredients, proper pH, no nasties, and a formula that actually does its job in one wash rather than three. Paul Mitchell pet care is cruelty-free, made in the USA, and safe to use alongside most topical flea and tick treatments (check the label of your specific treatment, but the brand is formulated with that in mind).
If you're already using the human range, you'll recognise some of the botanicals. Browse the full Paul Mitchell collection, or if you're shopping for a dog-loving friend, the Paul Mitchell gift sets make a lovely human-side pairing.
Paul Mitchell Pet Care FAQs
Can I use human Paul Mitchell shampoo on my dog?
Not really, no. Dog skin sits at a higher pH than human skin (around 6.5 to 7.5 versus 5.5 for humans), so human shampoo can dry out or irritate a dog's skin over time. The pet care range is formulated specifically for canine pH.
Is Paul Mitchell pet care cruelty-free?
Yes. Like the rest of the Paul Mitchell brand, the pet care range is never tested on animals. (Which, given it's a pet range, would be especially ironic if it were.)
Is Paul Mitchell pet shampoo safe to use with flea treatments?
The range is formulated to be compatible with most topical spot-on flea and tick treatments, meaning it shouldn't strip them off the coat. Always check the leaflet on your specific flea product, and if in doubt wait 48 hours after applying flea treatment before bathing.
Can I use it on cats or puppies?
The Sensitive Skin Shampoo is tear-free and gentle enough for puppies. Cats have different pH and grooming needs again, so we'd recommend a cat-specific formula rather than using the dog range on felines.
How often should I bathe my dog?
For most breeds, every 4 to 6 weeks is plenty. Bathing too often (even with a gentle shampoo) can strip natural oils from the coat. Use the spray detangler and a brush between baths to keep things tidy.
Are Paul Mitchell pet products vegan?
The vast majority of the pet care range is vegan and free from animal-derived ingredients. Check individual product pages for the specific formula if vegan certification is a priority.
