"Our cattle dog has been battling yeast and bacterial skin infections for years. When I heard vets were starting to recommend 4-Legger Tea Tree instead of harsh chemical alternatives, I was so happy. This is exactly what she needed."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Verified Dog Parent — Cattle Dog Owner

When your dog won't stop itching — and you've tried everything — the problem usually isn't what you're putting on their skin. It's what you're NOT leaving off.

COOLING is the only natural dog shampoo and the only formula that combines organic tea tree, peppermint, and eucalyptus essential oils in a formula Certified to Organic Standards by the USDA National Organic Program — making it a true, holistic alternative to medicated dog shampoo without a single synthetic chemical.

✓ Targets yeast and bacteria at the root — organic tea tree oil is recommended by holistic veterinarians as a safe, effective alternative to harsh medicated shampoos for fungal and bacterial skin conditions.

✓ Cools and soothes instantly — peppermint essential oil reduces inflammation, calms hot spots, and brings immediate relief to red, irritated skin.

✓ Naturally deodorizing — eucalyptus lifts odor at the source while organics leave the coat clean, fresh, and residue-free.

✓ Supports skin barrier recovery — every certified organic ingredient works with your dog's natural oils, not against them.

✓ Trusted by holistic veterinarians — recommended as a safe alternative to chemical-laden medicated shampoos for fungal and bacterial skin conditions.

✓ Safe for reactive and sensitive skin — every ingredient is readable, certified organic, and free of synthetic detergents, parabens, and synthetic fragrances.

✓ Concentrated formula — a little goes a long way. Far more baths per bottle than conventional shampoos.

How to use: Because it's concentrated, this formula activates with water — add more water as you wash to build a light, effective lather. Wet your dog thoroughly before applying, work a small amount through the coat, and keep adding water as you go. More water = more lather. It's a different technique than conventional shampoos, and once you get it, you won't go back.

Not recommended for cats or puppies.

What’s Inside — And Why It Matters

Every ingredient is carefully chosen to support healthy skin.

No fillers, no shortcuts, no synthetic detergents.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Tea tree oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia tree, native to Australia. Entirely plant-derived, no synthetic substitutes.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
Recommended by holistic veterinarians as a safe, effective alternative to medicated shampoos for yeast and bacterial conditions. Deeply cleanses while reducing fungal and bacterial overgrowth. Energetically supports confidence and strength. At the concentration used in 4-Legger's formula, tea tree oil is safe for adult dogs — it is NOT recommended for puppies or cats.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Peppermint essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Mentha piperita plant. 100% natural, no synthetic reproduction of the scent or benefit.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
Natural antibacterial and antifungal. Cools hot spots and reduces inflammation on contact. Helps balance oily skin and moisturize dry, itchy patches. Also helps to tone the skin and balance sebum production. The cooling sensation you and your dog will feel immediately is real — it's the menthol in peppermint working to soothe inflamed, red skin.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Eucalyptus essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Eucalyptus globulus tree. Entirely plant-derived.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
Provides relief for bug bites and skin irritation. Naturally deodorizing and aids in the reduction of bacteria, fungi, and inflammation. Uplifting and clarifying — the fresh, clean scent of eucalyptus is recognizable and long-lasting without synthetic fragrance. Part of the tri-blend (tea tree + peppermint + eucalyptus) that gives COOLING its distinctive therapeutic profile.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Aloe juice is pressed from the inner leaf gel of the Aloe barbadensis plant. 100% natural and plant-derived.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
Soothes dryness, flakiness, and minor skin irritation on contact. Acts as a natural conditioner that adds moisture and shine to the coat without buildup. Long used as a natural healer for skin conditions from dry flaky skin to minor infections. Helps carry other active ingredients deeper into the coat and skin for enhanced effectiveness.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Vegetable glycerin is a naturally occurring compound derived from plant oils. 4-Legger sources from USA-grown, non-GMO organic corn.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards. Derived from USA-grown non-GMO organic corn.

What Does It Do?
A natural humectant that draws moisture from the air and locks it into the skin and coat. Helps give the formula a smooth consistency that spreads evenly through the coat without synthetic thickeners. Supports hydration between baths and contributes to the soft, residue-free finish after rinsing.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Coconut oil is pressed from the fruit of Cocos nucifera. Saponification is the traditional process of turning oils into a gentle, effective cleanser — no synthetic detergents needed.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
Deeply hydrating and protective. Creates a gentle moisture barrier while remaining mild enough for inflamed, irritated, or sensitive skin. As a saponified oil, it forms the cleansing base of the formula — lifting dirt and residue without stripping the skin's natural protective layer. This is why 4-Legger cleans without synthetic surfactants or detergents.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Olive oil is cold-pressed from the fruit of Olea europaea. One of the oldest and most well-documented natural skincare ingredients in the world.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
Rich in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants. Nourishes, rejuvenates, and protects the skin and coat. One of nature's oldest and most trusted skin conditioners. As a saponified oil it contributes to the gentle cleansing base, leaving the coat soft and conditioned — not stripped.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Jojoba "oil" is technically a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis. Entirely plant-derived and remarkably stable.

Is It Organic?
Yes – Certified to USDA Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
A natural cleanser and excellent moisturizer. Jojoba's fatty acids closely mimic the skin's own natural oils, helping to rejuvenate and restore dry, flaky skin without clogging pores or leaving residue. Its similarity to sebum means it absorbs readily and leaves the coat feeling naturally conditioned rather than coated.

Is It Natural?
Yes – Rosemary extract is derived from the leaves of Salvia rosmarinus (formerly Rosmarinus officinalis). Entirely plant-derived.

Is It Organic?
Yes. USDA Certified to Organic standards.

What Does It Do?
A powerful natural antioxidant that preserves the formula's freshness without synthetic preservatives or parabens. Also provides anti-inflammatory benefits for the skin. No parabens, no synthetic preservatives — just rosemary doing what it has done for centuries: protecting, preserving, and soothing.

What Pet Parents Ask Most About This Shampoo

Because it's concentrated, a little goes a long way — you'll use far less per bath than conventional shampoos. Wet your dog thoroughly, apply a small amount, and add water as you work it through the coat. The 16oz bottle typically outlasts several bottles of a standard shampoo.

The 1-gallon size is the best value for multi-dog households or frequent bathers.

Many pet parents choose this formula specifically for dogs dealing with yeast, fungal, or bacterial skin conditions. Tea tree oil is well-known for its natural antifungal and antibacterial properties, and peppermint cools inflamed skin on contact. It's a popular holistic alternative to medicated dog shampoo. Results vary by dog and severity — if your dog has a diagnosed skin condition, consult your vet before switching products.

No.

Tea tree and peppermint are potent essential oils and are should not be used on puppies under 12 weeks of age.

This formula is designed for adult dogs only. If you have a puppy, we have some great puppy shampoo recommendations for you.

You must be new to a true organic dog shampoo.

The trick is adding more water — not more shampoo. This concentrated formula activates with water. The more saturated your dog's coat, the better the lather. Wet thoroughly before applying, then keep adding water as you massage it through the coat. Most people who struggle with lather are simply not using enough water — once you adjust the technique, you'll get a great result every time.

Start by thoroughly wetting your dog’s coat with warm water. Apply a small amount of shampoo and gently massage it into the coat, working from head to tail while avoiding the eyes.

Because this is a concentrated, natural formula without synthetic thickeners, it has a thinner consistency than conventional shampoos. For best results, add more water—not more shampoo—to help create a light, effective lather. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed.

For an even easier application and richer foam, you can dilute the shampoo in a 4-Legger Foamer Bottle. This helps distribute the shampoo more evenly, reduces product use, and makes bath time quicker and more enjoyable for both you and your dog.

The simple answer is all the bad stuff you find in traditional dog shampoo!

4-Legger is committed to clean ingredients so you won't find any synthetic chemicals in our dog shampoo!

Check out our deep dive ingredient blog or read about our commitment to you to learn more about the ingredients you'll never find in any 4-Legger product!

Medicated shampoos use pharmaceutical actives like chlorhexidine or miconazole — which work but can be harsh on the skin barrier with regular use.

This formula uses certified organic tea tree and peppermint to address the same concerns naturally, without synthetic drugs, sulfates, or artificial preservatives.

We get this question a lot. So much so that we wrote an article about it. You can find it here.

Bottom Line: At the dilution levels used in this formula, organic tea tree oil is safe for adult dogs and is recommended by holistic vets for dogs with skin sensitivities.

The key word is dilution — pure (undiluted) tea tree oil is toxic to dogs and cats (and quite frankly not safe for humans either). Our formula uses a carefully measured concentration of certified organic tea tree oil, not the concentrated raw oil. Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to your dog's skin. We also carefully select our tea tree so it is the highest quality.

Very oily - had to wash dog 3 times. Wouldn’t buy again

Best Shampoo

This is hands down the best shampoo I’ve ever used. My dog was having issues with his skin.. always itching. This has helped him significantly. The smell is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it.

When I heard vets were recommending this over the chemical shampoos......

Our cattle dog has been battling yeast and bacterial skin/ ear infections for a couple of years. She has had her share of recommendations like Hexachloradine, borax and bleach....not kidding. So when I heard vets were starting to recommend the 4 Legger Tea Tree instead, I was so happy. Having heard tea tree and dogs don't mix well, I was glad to understand why, in this case, it's a great combination. Thanks, 4 Legger.

Excellent Great Product Great Company

I have been using 4-Legger products for many years. I am always pleased with the results. Our new dog is battling yeast I believe so I ordered the Cooling Shampoo. We bathed her the second time today this week and hope to see results, as in a lot less itching. I always recommend 4-Legger products as I've used most of them over the years with my last 3 dogs and shampoo'd area rugs as well with the Aloe Shampoo. Tooth powder and paw pad balm are most effective. Unfortunately my new dog has been so badly abused it will take a long time to brush her teeth. Getting the paw balm on is a fight with her as well. My last dog loved all the grooming attention and her pads being moisturized so I know it works great just this dog hasn't gotten the memo yet! I highly recommend the larger foaming bottle as it is much sturdier than the smaller size.

Love it!

Got it with the foam bottle. SO far so great!

Best Shampoo

Best and Safest Shampoo on the Market

This is the only shampoo I will use on my dogs. I even take it to the groomer when she is going to give them a bath. Safe ingredients, soothing and gentle.

Cooling Dog Shampoo and Restore Vinegar Rinse

These two products were the answer to our problems with our pup’s yeast infection, along with Yeasty Beasty. We were on our fourth month of trying to heal her when I discovered these products. They are soothing, healing and smell so nice. I was so happy to find something with no harsh chemicals. She is a much happier dog. I’m so grateful for these products! Thank you!

Calmed my dog

Idk why but my dog was so calm after I washed her with your shampoo the 1st time. She practically fell asleep while I was blow drying her. I think she really prefers it to the chemical shampoo I was using before.

Not what I expected...

I love your Lemon grass shampoo and how the smell just lingers and lasts more than a day. Cuddling with Gracie is great!
This winter we moved and Gracie seemed to develop some adverse skin issues so I thought the cooling shampoo would help with her itching and the smell since she stays inside. I thought with ALL the great essential oils, she'd stay smelling heavenly. I have only used it once, and not very happy with it. It is VERY strong smelling and didn't last a day. Am going to try again today along with the apple cider rinse and leave on longer hoping for a better experience. Wish a hint of lemongrass could have been added for fragrance! Anyway, I may end up sending back and choosing a more pleasant scent!

Products are helping my dogs skin!

My dog Kandi has Sebaceous Adenitis & Mucocutaneous Lupus.
She has to be bathed at least 1x/ week.
I was using the shampoos the derm vet recommended (& they have helped Kandi greatly) but I wanted to use a natural product on my girls skin.
I started using 4Legger Cooling shampoo & Restore vinegar on Sept.27,2023.She has had 4 baths using 4Legger & there is definitely improvement!
The products smell wonderful & my house smells great after Kandi gets a bath!
(The first 2 pix are Sept 26 & the second 2 pix are today)

My favorite so far

I bought both the orange/hemp shampoo and this one. Out of the two I like the smell of this one and it doesn't dry out my scotch collie's coat like the orange one does. It leaves his coat bright and fluffy. They both do lather as long as your dog is very wet...but require you to use more than the earthbath shampoo I was using before. I basically have to drizzle a stream of shampoo on both sides and down each leg to work up a good lather so I am going through it pretty fast. I started out not using enough. That is my main issue with the shampoo is that it is pretty expensive and doesn't go far if you have a long-haired, double-coated breed of dog. Pictures are of him still damp and then blown out.

Thank you Melissa!!

Yogi has suffered from excessively itchy skin and she is continuously scratching up to the point where she becomes exhausted from it. After speaking with Melissa, she highly recommended we give the cooling shampoo a try and although it didn’t completely stop her from scratching every now and then, we immediately saw the amount of scratching drop significantly after just 1 bath. It was a bit weird at first to see her actually rest for once but definitely happy to have given her some relief. We are happy with not only the product but with the customer service provided by Melissa. Thank you so much!!

great for yeast infections

despite allergy food testing and diet change my senior dog continues to have occasional yeasty feet. this shampoo really helps. love all their shampoos... great ingredients!

We love this stuff!

My itchy Vizslas and mix breed Big Dog were in need of an excellent shampoo which could be used frequently to clean their dirty doggy selves after a good roll in our pasture. I’m highly sensitive to allergens as well as to dry skin, and so are they.

This Persnickety Dog Mom requires a product which lathers efficiently, rinses out easily, and leaves a fresh, clean, natural scent. AND, which reduces that endless scratching.

BOOM. Highly recommended by a friend in Cambodia, we turned to 4-Legger to try both the cedar and the peppermint dog shampoos. While we like both, I find that the peppermint version suds up and then rinses out readily; much more so than similar products tried over 30 years of Dog Ownership and Rescue.

The dogs don’t find the scent objectionable, I find it very pleasant, itching is DEFINITELY reduced, and bathtimes are greatly speeded up because this product rinses out of borth wire and long hair coats so easily.

Terrific product, so much so that I now use it on my own hair, too!

Love this organic dog shampoo!!

This shampoo smells so nice and I love that it's organic. Our Great Dane is part of our family so I want safe products for her. She was very interested in the smell of this shampoo. She is one fresh pup after her bath! Love this item and definitely going to recommend to my fellow dog moms!

Very oily - had to wash dog 3 times. Wouldn’t buy again

Peppermint cooling shampoo

Melissa and team this product is phenomenal- our lab has severe skin conditions- this product really helps to reduce skin irritation- love all your products- they smell wonderful
Thank you for the dedication!

Tea Tree and Peppermint Shampoo

I found the 4-Legger website in my research to help my 5 yr Westie who has suffered from allergies, bacterial and yeast issues for the last 2 years. We took him to the vet regularly and did numerous rounds of; Apoquel, Simplicef, Ketoconazole, Cytopoint shots, prescription dog food and weekly antimicrobial/anti-fungal bathes that left his skin scaly, inflamed itchy and dry. He was still miserable. I transitioned him off prescription food, and onto a freeze dried food of good quality for ‘dogs with sensitive digestive issues’ using unique proteins and ingredients.
That was a big game changer for him. As he was getting better on his new food , it took awhile to soothe his inflamed skin to a healthy state; and that’s when I found 4-Legger and Melissa. I had a lot of questions. Melissa with 4-Legger called me and answered them all! I ordered the Yeast Bundle (Cooling Dog Shampoo-Peppermint/Tea Tree and Restore Conditioner/Apple Cider Vinegar). I’ve had this some weeks now. I’m still doing 1 bath a week because it’s still allergy season here in the Midwest. His skin looks hydrated and healthy. Skin pigmentation is back to normal, no more chewing and scratching at itchy skin. I’m thankful to find this company, these products, and to be able go talk to Melissa who answered every single question I asked her!
Tip: Order the foam pump for the shampoo and the sprayer for the conditioner to save on amount of product you use! Thank, Ginger

Rocky B is a Happy Dog!

Hi! Melissa, this recommendation of the Tee Tree shampoo for our foster-fail Rocky B has given our senior boy a new lease on life living it free from itching and making his fur and skin soft and rejuvenated. Along with the apple cider vinegar rinse Rocky B is now a Happy, Happy Dog. The difference in his demeanor is amazing. Thank you again Melissa and all at 4-Legger for your dedication and devotion to our fur-family companions; creating quality, safe and healthy products. :-)

Love This Shampoo!

My cocker spaniels have been on a medicated shampoo for yeast infections. I wanted to try something natural. This shampoo is great! I bought the Tea Tree and Peppermint Shampoo. It lathers up great (which is often unusual for natural shampoos), helps with the itching and has a nice smell! This will be the shampoo I will always use now. Thanks for a great natural product.

Not Sure Yet

Have used this shampoo along with the cider vinegar rinse and not seeing any positive results yet. It does have a very nice smell though.

Great dog shampoo and foam pump

I've tried this shampoo on my 14 year old papillon, who is literally allergic to shampoo and soap. This organic shampoo is the real deal. He had no reaction to it at all. Usually within 2 days after his bath, he would itch non stop. I would have to put him on a steroid to stop the itch.

The soap leaves his coat clean and soft. There is a fragrance, but it is a natural fragrance, nothing added. The former works really well. I am very pleased with the results.

Tea tree shampoo and foam pump

I am in love. I didn’t know this existed. Absolutely love the foamer. I usually shampoo twice and the first time my other shampoo would barely lather but this lathers the first shampoo and the second shampoo. It spreads extreme well. I loved it so much I used it on myself too. I bought another foamer for my shower. I am a hairdresser and have a salon in the house. My dog used to be the “comfort pet” but with all the hairsprays/ etc I have been keeping him out of there to see if it would help his skin issues. We are seeing a holistic vet and she recommended this product. I can’t say enough about it and I usually don’t take time to do reviews but I want to encourage small business and great products. We have a voice. Thank you so much. Who knows, I may switch to it in the salon.😀
