Kin+Kind - Outdoor Shield Lavender Shampoo
Description
TL;DR: Kin+Kind Outdoor Shield Lavender Shampoo is a plant-based dog shampoo and conditioner formulated with lavender, eucalyptus, and cedarwood essential oils to cleanse the coat while helping repel fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. It's sulfate- and paraben-free, hypoallergenic, and safe for weekly use — a fit for dogs who spend time outdoors.
Made by Kin+Kind, this outdoor-defence shampoo uses essential oils instead of harsh chemicals to keep your dog clean and less appealing to biting insects. The lavender, cedarwood, and eucalyptus blend leaves a fresh herbal scent after rinsing.

Who is it for?
This shampoo is a fit for dogs who hike, camp, or spend extended time in grass and wooded areas where fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes are a concern. The hypoallergenic, plant-based formula also suits puppies and owners who prefer a sulfate- and paraben-free grooming routine.
Feeding & use
Wet your dog's coat thoroughly, then work the shampoo in from neck to tail, avoiding the eyes. Lather, let sit briefly so the essential oils can coat the fur, then rinse completely with clean water. Safe for weekly use; follow with a conditioner if your dog has a long or double coat.
