Overview
Clean Start is a clarifying shampoo for dogs that strips product buildup, wax, oil and dirt from the coat using a pro vitamin formula. It comes in a 16 ounce, silicone free and alcohol free liquid.
This is a reset shampoo meant for clearing out old styling product or grime rather than a daily wash, so it fits best before a full groom or when a coat needs stripping back to a clean base.

- Silicone free and alcohol free
- Pro vitamin formula
- Fresh scent
Who it's for
Dogs with visible product buildup from styling sprays or conditioners, and groomers prepping a coat before other treatments. Not meant as a daily shampoo.
Strengths and trade-offs

Performance notes
The pro vitamin formula is designed to clean without stripping the coat's own condition, and being silicone and alcohol free it should not leave its own residue behind on top of what it removes.
