“All 3 pups had started itching this fall. Being in a Cavalier Spaniel group I learned about chemicals in what I thought was a good product. I’m so happy to have 4 Legger. With just 2 baths their coats are less dry looking already!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Linda K. — Cavalier Spaniel Mom

If your dog won't stop scratching, licking, or chewing — the shampoo in your bathroom might be making it worse.

Most so-called natural dog shampoo formulations are built around synthetic detergents, artificial fragrances, and preservatives that strip the skin barrier, trigger inflammation, and leave sensitive dogs caught in a cycle of itch and irritation. You switch shampoos. The problem comes back. You're not imagining it — the formula matters.

4-Legger is a genuinely natural dog shampoo — Certified to Organic Standards by the USDA National Organic Program, with third party validation that when we say all natural, we mean it. When you read the ingredient label, you'll recognize every single ingredient. No mystery compounds. No synthetic stand-ins. Nothing you have to look up.

✓ Soothes dry, itchy, irritated skin — formulated for dogs dealing with dryness, dandruff, rashes, and dermatitis. Gets to the root of the itch instead of masking it.
✓ Organic hemp oil + omega fatty acids — deeply moisturizes and restores the skin barrier from the outside in. Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that nourish without blocking pores.
✓ Lemongrass essential oil — certified organic, antimicrobial, naturally pest-deterring — a natural deterrent for fleas and other pests, with genuine antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. (Not a replacement for veterinarian-prescribed flea and tick treatment.)
✓ Zero THC — all the omega benefits, none of the concern — hemp oil delivers its full spectrum of skin-nourishing fatty acids and is safe for dogs at every life stage, from puppies to seniors.
✓ Concentrated — a little goes a long way — this isn't watered down like most commercial shampoos. A small amount stretches significantly further, making the price per bath far more economical than it looks on the shelf.
✓ Safe for puppies, seniors, and every life stage in between — no harsh actives, no age restrictions. Gentle enough for a 10-week-old pup, effective enough for a dog with a lifetime of sensitive skin.
✓ Naturally deodorizing — actually neutralizes odor, not just covers it — certified organic lemongrass essential oil is the real deal, not a synthetic fragrance approximation. It cleans at the source so the fresh scent lasts.
✓ Certified to Organic Standards by the USDA National Organic Program. Third party validation of every ingredient - from farm to bottle! 
✓ Every ingredient is readable and recognizable — no mystery compounds, no hidden fillers, no ingredient you'd need a chemistry degree to pronounce. Coconut oil. Olive oil. Lemongrass. Aloe vera. That's the list.

One technique tip: 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.

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 — 100%

Is It Organic?
Yes — Certified to USDA Organic standards

What Does It Do?
Lemongrass essential oil is genuinely multi-functional. It has documented antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for dogs with reactive or irritated skin. It acts as a natural pest deterrent — the scent is unpleasant to fleas and other insects without relying on synthetic pesticide chemistry. It also provides powerful, lasting deodorization: unlike synthetic fragrance, which merely masks odor, lemongrass essential oil actively neutralizes it. The result is a clean, fresh scent that comes from a real botanical source.

Is It Natural?
Yes — 100%

Is It Organic?
Yes — Certified to USDA Organic standards

What Does It Do?
Hemp seed oil has one of the most balanced omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratios of any plant oil, which closely mirrors what skin needs to maintain a healthy barrier. It deeply moisturizes dry, flaky, or irritated skin without blocking pores or leaving heavy residue — ideal for dogs prone to skin sensitivity. It also contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which has anti-inflammatory properties.

Zero THC — safe for dogs at every life stage.

Is It Natural?
Yes — 100%

Is It Organic?
Yes — Certified to USDA Organic standards

What Does It Do?
Aloe vera is one of the most effective natural soothing agents available. It contains polysaccharides that calm inflamed, irritated, or itchy skin on contact. It is a natural humectant and conditioner that adds moisture to the coat without heaviness, and it helps interrupt the itch-scratch cycle that leaves many sensitive-skin dogs in chronic discomfort.

Is It Natural?
Yes — 100%

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. Saponification is the traditional process of turning plant oils into a gentle, effective cleanser.

Is It Natural?
Yes — 100%

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.

Is It Natural?
Yes — 100%

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 and coat without clogging pores or leaving residue.

Is It Natural?
Yes — 100%. Our vegetable glycerin is derived from USA-grown, non-GMO organic corn.

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

What Does It Do?
Glycerin is a humectant — it attracts moisture from the surrounding environment and draws it into the skin, helping your dog's coat stay hydrated long after the bath. It adds a light conditioning feel without greasiness and is exceptionally gentle, making it one of the best-tolerated ingredients for sensitive or reactive skin.

Is It Natural?
Yes — 100%. Both forms of rosemary used in this formula are derived entirely from the Rosmarinus officinalis plant.

Is It Organic?
Rosemary Essential Oil: Yes — Certified to USDA Organic standards.

Rosemary Extract: Grown organically — not currently certified to USDA Organic standards. The extraction process means this ingredient does not currently carry formal certification, but we use organically grown rosemary and are transparent about the distinction.

What Does It Do?
Two forms of rosemary work together in this formula. Rosemary Essential Oil provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that support a healthy scalp and coat.

Rosemary Extract acts as a powerful natural preservative — keeping the formula fresh without synthetic preservatives, parabens, or artificial additives.

What Pet Parents Ask Most About This Shampoo

More than you'd expect. Because this is a concentrated formula, you use significantly less per bath than conventional shampoos — but the exact number of baths per bottle varies depending on your dog's size, coat density, and how much water you use during the bath.

The technique matters: wet your dog thoroughly first, then use a small amount and keep adding water as you go. The water activates the formula and extends it through the coat. Most dog owners are pleasantly surprised by how far a bottle goes.

Yes — no age restrictions. The formula is gentle enough for puppies 10 weeks and older and safe for senior dogs, including those on medication or with compromised immune systems. There are no harsh actives, synthetic fragrances, or preservatives that would make it inappropriate for any life stage. If your dog is under veterinary care for a skin condition, we always recommend checking with your vet before introducing any new grooming product.

Catch your dog (sometimes the hardest part). Shake the bottle to blend ingredients. Wet your 4-Legger with warm water from head to the end of their tail. Apply 4-Legger to the palm of
your hand and apply to your pet.

While the consistency is thin, you will find that you need only a small amount to cover your dog and that it lathers quite well!  To increase suds, use more water - not shampoo.

Gently massage 4-Legger deep into your pet's coat. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear.

A few tips if you are new to organic dog shampoo:

Your dog will likely go through a perfectly normal transition period. Don't worry - we've documented what you can expect - click here to read!  To increase the lather, use more water - not shampoo.Consider adding one of our foamer bottles to
your order!  It will help you manage the thin consistency by infusing
air into the shampoo, as well as keep you from using more than is needed
to wash your dog.  

Note:  Use care around your pet's eyes. To wash your pet's face - use a wash cloth.

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!

Yes, it is!

Hypoallergenic dog shampoo means it is unlikely to cause a skin reaction and safe to use on dog's (or their humans) who have very sensitive skin.

Check out all of our hypoallergenic formulations here.

The key difference is USDA certification.

4-Legger uses ingredients Certified to Organic Standards by the USDA National Organic Program using USDA organic approved manufacturing processes.

While their products may contain a few organic ingredients, the finished formula has not passed USDA NOP certification standards.

Additionally, many competitors in this category use synthetic detergents (like sodium lauryl sulfate or cocamidopropyl betaine) as their primary cleansing agents.

4-Legger's cleansing base is saponified organic oils — a fundamentally different, gentler approach. If the ingredient list matters to you, that distinction is worth examining closely.

Add 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.

Lemongrass essential oil is a documented natural pest deterrent — it contains compounds (particularly citral and geraniol) that fleas and other insects find repellent. It is not a pesticide.

Think of it as a complementary layer: the certified organic lemongrass essential oil provides a naturally deterrent scent that many dog owners find reduces pest activity between baths, without relying on synthetic chemical pesticides on your dog's skin.

No. Our organic hemp oil does not contain any THC.

Lovely light fresh scent NO ONE objects too!

I originally got a little carried away searching for a 'guy' scent for my boy. The 4 products I tried out, everyone BUT me complained about the scent. Then I got to thinking about how sensitive a dog's nose is. All 3 pups had started itching this fall. Being in a Cavalier Spaniel group - ( Raising Your Pets Naturally with Tonya Wilhelm ) I learned about chemicals in what I thought was a good product. I'm so happy to have 4 Legger. With just 2 baths (double sudsing) their coats are less dry looking already! If your new to natural products DO SCROLL down and read about the products and USING them!
Lots of great info here as well. Now to work on introducing them to the tooth powder!
Thank you 4 Legger for safe alternatives to take care of our furby's!

Amazing Clean toxic free products

I treat Humans, Dogs and cats in my wellness center for over 16 years. I use and recommend only the absolute best products. One of the biggest issues is chemical ingredients in products and these are linked to cancers and other neurological issues. I am excited to use and recommend 4-legger to all. Also, my dogs love it!!!

Soft fur and great scent

Helped my puppy with her itchy skin and left her with soft, moisturized and lightly scented fur. I recommend a foaming pump for the shampoo. I will be buying this and the conditioner again once we’re out.

The customer service is fantastic!

I purchased a shampoo bottle and it was broken, not leaking or anything just broken. usually I would just leave it and use a another 4-Legger cap but my Dad threw it out not knowing. Not knowing what to do I just contacted the customer service and they sent me a new cap, no cost provided. 2 years we have used 4-Legger "Moisturize Organic Hemp Dog Shampoo with Lemongrass" and it smells good and her coat is really shiny. 10/10 ☺️

Love the scent, got him clean

I’ve only used the shampoo once. But it got my dirty St Poodle clean and he smelled good. He’s black so he often looks dusty after he is dry. He stayed looking nicer longer. I’m hopeful after a few more washes his skin won’t be so dry and he will look even blacker.

Fabulous

This is my second bottle of Hemp & Lemongrass. It suds like crazy & feels so luxurious & nourishing on my boys coat. I want to just keep scrubbing it in! Rinses so quick & clean.
Also placed the order on a Thursday & Saturday went for a wet MUDDY hike. I was bummed that I had not placed the order sooner because he really need a bath. Got home & found my shampoo sitting on the front porch!
Off to the dog wash with my 125lb beast & awesome shampoo!

Gentle, non-irritating, moisturizing shampoo! Fantastic!

It’s a second or third 4-legger shampoo we’re using. This one is a winner! One of my pups has a tendency to have a bit dry skin especially after he gets bathed-not with this shampoo. It truly is moisturizing and gentle. Additionally both of my pups are allergic and sensitive, again this shampoo doesn’t cause any irritation. With many other shampoos seemed to be itchy a couple days after getting bather with this shampoo no itchiness and no scratching at all. It smells delightful and it’s all natural! Love it! Be aware that it’s pretty thin and doesn’t lather much. The whole “just add more water” doesn’t work. I still made it work without using too much shampoo so I’m satisfied. With previous 4-legged shampoos I used their former bottle but I threw that bottle away as it didn’t seem to foam the product much and it would clog up all the time. Also, I’ve learned that with 4-legged shampoos it’s important to rinse your pup much longer than you think is necessary as if not rinsed long enough my black pup would have a slight white residue (harmless and would go away after a couple of days). Even with all that I love this shampoo and I’m very satisfied with this 5-star product. Thank you 4-Legger!

Good product for my Poodle!

I love the fact that the product is organic and does a great job of cleaning my dirty white dog. She has allergies that causes itchy skin and I need all the help I can get! I just started using it and like it so far, bought the foamer bottle to make it easier to use the shampoo and that works great, I also use the conditioner! I like the smell too, not strong at all, so it's a winner for me. **Most Shampoos and Conditioners that are for Itchy shin make you sit there for five to ten minutes with a wet dog before you can rinse it off. You don't have to wait with this product and that is wonderful! Thanks

It's Already Pre-Rated

(Subject to edit) USDA Certified Organic Hypoallergenic 4-Legger shampoo I used to buy when it first came out and I didn't like it and that was 9 years ago. Then I bought 4-Legger Hypoallergenic Moisture with Lemon Grass, and I don't like to return anything because of the hassles as this is like soapy water just a waste of time and money. Nothing organic really works except what most veterinarians prescribes or suggests which are toxic. I only used it once but I will use it right now with warm water. Of it's supposed to lessen or diminish anything itchy related then not advised.

Always in reach!

I have a Cocker Spaniel kept year round with a show coat. I only use products from 4 Legger to groom him. I constantly get complements on his coat and have recommended many of the shampoos and other products from 4 Legger. BEST and SAFEST products and I trust their commitment to our fur babies.

My doggie is SO soft

My little Min Pin - Chihuahua mix gets pet dander really bad & I was looking for a product for her. She doesn’t like baths, so I didn’t know which shampoo to order first. I am in love with the Lemongrass. She came out so soft. I have not seen any dander on her. She has not been scratching either. This is a wonderful product. It smells good too. It was delivered so quickly. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. I will recommend to everyone.

I’ve been bow WOWED,

My mini Dachshund has has a problem with dandruff this Winter. I’ve used some stinky medicated shampoos and he still had tons of dandruff. I’ve used this 4 Legger with Lemongrass JUST ONCE, and the problem is well on its way to being solved. He has very little dandruff showing, even after brushing.. I can’t wait to try the Happy Camper
shampoo this Summer to help repel pests . I’m sold and I’m throwing the other shampoos away.. We also now have a brand new mini Dachshund puppy and these are the only shampoos I will be using.

Sparky -

I love the previous products and I love the new products! Only thing was one of my bottles was dented but everything else was great !

Thank you Sparky! We love being part of your healthy bath routine! About that bottle....it’s not uncommon for that to happen, and for a very good reason! We use a heat-induction seal that pulls any remaining air out of the bottle so that your shampoo will not be exposed to natural elements like air and water which cause it to break down faster. We want your shampoo to be as fresh as possible until you open it! Sometimes the sealer may pull a bit much and the suction can cause the bottle to have what looks like a dent. But when you remove the seal and open it up, the bottle should resume it’s normal shape. Doesn’t happen often, but the reason is for your benefit. Hope that helps!

Best shampoo!

I have been using 4legger for years, I came upon this brand because I was looking for organic shampoos for Bruno’s skin sensitivity. I had tried countless of different brands and nothing would work, they would irritate him more and make his coat very dull. I’m so happy I found 4Legger, his coat is as shiny as it can be and his skin is allergy free, I wouldn’t trade them for anything! And not only did they help with his skin issues but they also have a great long lasting smell.

Absolutely AMAZING!

I was really excited to try this product and was absolutely blown away at the results. My dog's coat was unbelievably soft and still is almost 2 weeks later! With the other wash I was using on her, her coat wouldn't look as shiny or feel as soft just a few days after being bathed. I am never going back! I love that all the ingredients safe for my girl and I love how good she smells! The lemongrass scent is great and isn't overpowering once diluted with water. Since it is concentrated, it is strong in the bottle. A little bit goes a long way, especially with using the foamer bottle! We are both happy customers!
