Our lovely Freya woof was smelling a little funky, so when I saw Scruffy Chops wanted dog owner bloggers to review their range I put up Freya’s paw as a volunteer.
Before I even opened the products up to sniff I liked the packaging. It’s those plastic bag type bottles that use a fraction of the plastic of normal bottles. The top flips open nicely, even with wet hands, and the bag-like bottle makes it easy to squeeze out a big dollop of shampoo or a delicate slowly dribbled line from head to tail if your hound prefers.
I was tempted to use the conditioner myself, smells ace. I haven’t by the way…. So no jokes please. :-p
The shampoo is “Sugar Doggy” and is £5.99 and the conditioner is called “Muddy Marvelous” which costs £6.99.
Now photoing a slippery wet dog is tricky, but even more tricky as her fur turned black when wet. Therefore my photos are a bit lame.
I love how she felt afterwards. I loved how well it rinsed out. I love that she smells like biscuits (she does!) I like how well behaved she was. Best thing in my opinion is that she feels softer and has stopped scratching… If you ever met Freya you would know that is pretty amazing. Her doggy dandruff has also reduced.
I shall be washing Freya again soon. Regular baths for this pooch from now on! It is expensive but it’s great. It’s like womens shampoo, if you pay more you can normally feel and smell the difference. I think most pet shampoos are rather Minging scents – not SC’s though.
10 out of 10!!

Disclosure – I received these scruffy chops products for free for agreeing to review on my blog.

I received a free product in return for this honest post. My opinions are not affected.
10 out of 10 to you for getting the photos! I only did before and after as it’s usually all out war trying to get Stella clean! I love that it’s so gentle on their sensitive skin too 🙂 Great review 🙂
Thanks Lisa. Freya was surprisingly good. She considered jumping out, I said no once and she stood patiently from then on. I kept sniffing her, kids were giving me funny looks… So i said “sniff her yourself” and D said “mmmm cookies” so it wasn’t just me then. Awesome first bath.
This sounds like great dog shampoo, I haven’t heard of the brand before. I assume this is something that you can get in the UK only. 🙂 I love the smell of a clean dog. My dogs usually run around the house and act frisky after bath time.
Giggling at your dogs being “frisky” and wondering if it has a different meaning your side of the pond?
I checked for you, its for sale in the US via Amazon and I’ve included a link at the end of the post for you.
