Product says "rinse" but reviews suggest people don't. Don't want to leave chemicals on my pup. What do people do?

I wish I could help you, but I had to take my dog to have his mats cut. He was too far gone to use this stuff.

I actually saturate my lhasa's coat, towel dry and then brush through it with my fingers as i blow dry her coat. as her coat gets dryer, i switch to the wire brush and taking out knots is super easy. When I'm done, her fur is super soft and knot free. I love this product

Wow, I didn't know that it said to rinse! (I'm at work so I don't have my bottle handy). I have used it frequently, but have never rinsed. I haven't seen any ill effects. My dog has no skin conditions, hasn't had any undesirable build-up or anything else. So, my experience doesn't suggest the need for a rinse. This spray smells great and his fur feels great. I really like this product.

I don't rinse it off and have never seen any irritation - I treat it as a leave-in spray and don't use very much at all.

No the product absolutely does NOT say to rinse it out. It plainly states the following: "Best results are achieved while using this product on a clean coat. Bathe pet using your choice of TropiClean Shampoos. Rinse thoroughly. Apply Tangle Remover liberally and massage into saturated coat. Dry the coat completely. Brush or comb out tangles." There is nothing in the directions that tells the user to rinse this product out. It simply states to rinse whatever shampoo you have used out before using this product at bath time. I don't know why people don't read the directions carefully on products and then make posts to confuse people. This is a really good product and it also plainly states "Can be used without bathing pet".

I leave it on my pup. He's not a cat & therefore not going to lick it off. I think of it like a "leave in conditioner" and it smells great too!

I spray it on brush it through dry them, I do not rinse it out, if you rinse it out it has no effect, I trust the tropiclean products I've used them for years, there is no harsh chemicals in these products and that's why I use them, my customers love the product as well

This does not make sense- it says on the description a shampoo and then on the bottle says leave in no rinse de-matt spray-- which is it???I wonder if it is a shampoo like stated and people are leaving it on their dogs?--please advise

Yep == of course you would have wiped clean - as best you can -- I had a sick dog and weathered poop and puke, always cleaning up, and following up with damp cloth etc... this stuff works great --- even days after if I could not attend to it ASAP after cleaning. the only product better is the one the chem dry specialists have, and that is not available to us. Follow directions and you will be please, I hope, as I am. good luck and still hug your dog.

I know that you have probably already dealt with this but the cover can be removed, but it is REALLY hard. I would use diluted laundry soap and water with a scrub brush and then "rinse" it with a cloth with water until all the soap residue is gone, then dry it with a dry cloth, and spray it with an enzyme spray like Biokleen BacOut. It is safe for kids and pets, and will eat up any lingering bacteria and smells. It has a weird limey-scent, but it dissipates after it dries.

Works well. If you still notice a smell you can try a different cleaner. Like vinegar in just the hot water if you still smell 'dog'. :-) Seems like it takes the smell out of ours - we're a two dog family:-)

Please check with your vet before giving it. Just because something is safe for human consumption doesn't mean it's safe for your pet.

Deanokat is correct that the label says to soak thoroughly before washing (I usually find that works) and unfortunately the manufacturer is closed until Jan 3rd (877-880-8855=8 in 1 Pet Products or the site www.ilovenatursmiracle.com). I would soak it and not use the actual product in the washer. Great question by the way! Ruth

The package says "care should be used when making applications to avoid household pets, particularly fish and reptiles." I have a dog and I just make sure he's not around until it dries.

I don't know about cleaning anything with the product. I am using it with other ingredients as a controversial pain reliever. And, I am not at liberty to discuss it any further than letting you know that I am using it. Very sorry. Thanks.

No. Do NOT use any soap on a dog's face! Only use doggie or baby wipes please.

regular wipes mayhave certain chemicals that may be harmful to animals. You would have to read the fine lines to seeif they were safe for puppies

I don't know. My dog is a bichon/poodle mix. I use it after the Earthbath shampoo - squeeze out water after rinsing - then put conditioner in my hands and rub into his hair...I let it sit for awhile and massage him -- he loves it (altho he hates his bath)....then rinse off....towel dry...wrap him in a big hot towel...His reward for putting up with the bath. I brush him before the bath so he really doesn't need much more after that.

My dog was facing a cleaning like yours. I have an older dog that doesn't tolerate being put under well. I purchased Oratene in the summer and by late fall when we had a well dog check up, the doctor said we could hold on the dental. I've continued to use Oratene in all her dog water bowls and it just keeps getting better. I also supplement with greenies...but this stuff works.

I washed the crate. Sprayed it with Nature's Miracle and then washed it again with Dawn and water. Rinsed it and the smell did go away. My dog loves the crate and sleeps in it at night. I have two and carry one in the car constantly. When I visit etc. I use it for my peace of mind. Lorraine

Not to humans. It doesn't smell at all after a few minutes, but the dogs do not like the smell or the taste. It worked very well with my puppies.

My vet advises to massage into coat, leave on 5 minutes, rinse and repeat the same again. Towel dry and apply enzymatic rinse to damp coat and leave on.

I wash it in the laundry room sink. Discard any poop with poop bag. I rinse mat with watm water to remove excess urine. Then plug the sink and fill 2" with hot water and add laundry detergent. Any cheappy brand. Let soak while I do a chore. Rinse off thoroughly. Hold on side to let excess water drip(rolled up). Then lay grass side up on top of rag on top of washing machine to air dry. I have a few grass pieces to alternate. The dogs dont do their business on a wet pad. I put wee wee pads under grass to hasten clean up time. The grass keeps it consistent with outdoor pottying.

A conditioner....I use it on my white bichon/poodle after shampooing....leaves his hair soft and smells great. Massage into hair and wait a few minutes -- then be sure to rinse it ALL off.
