Give your pooch a Dog Hair Day

Katie Jenkins is the creator and owner of Dog Hair Day cruelty-free dog shampoo. Her German Shorthair Pointer, George, was the real star of the show as he was the dog you see in all their branding. George inspired Katie's passion for the brand. Her love for him led her to embark on creating a dog shampoo that suited his needs. A dog’s skin has its own pH balance – but one that is different to that of humans. Since then Katie has created a loyal client base for Dog Hair Day cruelty-free shampoo and its now stocked in several pet stores, veterinary surgeries and shops.
