Kin+Kind - Itchy Pet Rosemary & Peppermint Shampoo
Description
TL;DR: Kin+Kind Itchy Pet Rosemary & Peppermint Shampoo is a plant-based dog shampoo formulated to soothe itchy, irritated skin with cooling peppermint and rosemary. It's a good fit for dogs prone to scratching, dryness, or general skin sensitivity.
This shampoo pairs rosemary and peppermint to leave coats fresh while supporting calm, comfortable skin between baths. The lather rinses clean and leaves a light herbal scent rather than heavy fragrance.
What makes this shampoo different?
Unlike a basic 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, this formula focuses specifically on dogs that scratch, lick, or rub due to itch-prone skin. Rosemary and peppermint are the lead botanicals, giving it a cooling finish on the coat.
Key features
- Rosemary and peppermint botanicals for a cooling, refreshing rinse
- Targeted at dogs with itchy or sensitive skin

Who is it for?
This is a shampoo for adult dogs that scratch more than they should, have dry-feeling skin, or just need a gentler bath routine. If you've been comparing options like shampoo and conditioner bars or a shampoo & conditioner tea tree formula, this rosemary and peppermint version is a milder alternative that still tackles itch.
How do you use it?
Wet your dog's coat thoroughly with warm water, then work a small amount of shampoo through the fur down to the skin. Let it sit for one to two minutes so the botanicals can do their work, then rinse fully until the water runs clear. Avoid the eyes, and follow with a conditioner if your dog's coat tends to tangle.
How often can you use it?
For most dogs, bathing every two to four weeks is enough to manage itch without drying out the skin. Dogs with very active outdoor lifestyles may need it more often, while indoor dogs can usually go longer between baths.
