I’m not a big fan of baths, but I agreed to give RELIQ™ Mineral Spa Shampoo for dogs a try. It is a natural shampoo, that is safe for dogs to lick, and it is tear free in the event it gets into your eyes. I have to say, Mom and I both really love this product, and we get to giveaway five prize packages!
How does this revolutionary shampoo work? The RELIQ line was created after discovering a special mineral found in volcanic regions that breaks through bonds of odor molecules and dissolves them upon contact. Combining this mineral with cutting edge “nano” technology enables the products to be extremely effective in cleaning pet’s skin and coat as well as follicle maintenance. At our house we are all about this “nano” technology as our toothpaste is based on “nano” technology which has worked great to clean our teeth!
The secret behind the entire RELIQ line is a special mineral found in volcanic regions RELIQ’s safe and tear-free formula allows essential nutrients and botanical extracts to be broken down and absorbed into the skin and coat where they moisturize, soften and condition. The shampoos are 100% chlorine, alcohol and paraben-free making them great for any dog, regardless of their skin or coat type.
The shampoo for dogs comes in five different scents, but I chose Pomegranate for my big bottle and also received sample packs of the other four scents.
- Pomegranate
- Jasmine
- Green Tea
- Lavender
- Rosemary
Mom simply chucked me in the tub, turned on the water, lathered me up, and rinsed me off. I did rather enjoy the couple minutes of massaging I got when the shampoo was on my furs. There isn’t a lot of foaming, so rinsing off is a real quick process which helps save on water!
What do we love about RELIQ Mineral Spa Shampoo for dogs?
- Both Mom and I love the fact that the scent is mild. Most shampoos leave a dog smelling like a dryer sheeet, or a green apple, or some other strong dreadful scent. This shampoo gave me a very, very slight hint of pomegranate scent, but it was not over bearing and Mom has to really stick her nose on me to smell it!
- Not a lot of bubbles. Many brands of shampoo for dogs have so much foam it is more like a bubble bath than a get the dog clean bath. We used a lot of shampoo, but foam was barely visible which we liked.
- The pump dispenser made it so easy to get the shampoo onto my furs. Mom wet me down and then just pumped the shampoo around and massaged it in. It is much easier than those squeeze bottles that get all slippery.
- After just one bath, my furs are so super soft and fluffy. The transformation is amazing!
Take a look at my “state of the furs” before my bath. Kind of a hot mess I would say!
Now check out my furs after my bath! Don’t you just want to run your fingers through my fur and snuggle with me? My fur is not only clean, you can see how much softer and fluffier it is! The RELIQ shampoo for dogs works so well, there is absolutely no need for conditioner either! One stop bathing – I love that!
Even if you area dog who is not a fan of a bath, this stuff really isn’t all that bad! Each bottle is packed with nutrients including Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5 along with Olive Oil PEG-7 for superb conditioning. Unlike other “natural” products, RELIQ’s shampoos exclude heavy and unhealthy fragrances, and come in different scents that smell fresh without overwhelming. RELIQ shampoo scent naturally goes away in three to five days, but still keeps your dog smelling fresh for up to three weeks! Cameron Fang, Founder of RELIQ says, “RELIQ’s unique Mineral Shampoos actually remove bacteria and toxins – the root source of odors and skin problems – through an absorption process that is proven effective to gently cleaning the skin and coat, as well as eliminating odors, rather than merely masking them like other formulas.”

that does sound like a great shampoo and we agree – a mild scent is important.
It’s super mild and we love that.
I always want to paws through my furs, play, and snuggle with you because you are so beautiful, Emma. You are like my big sister. It sounds like a very cool product. XOXO Sparkle
We’ve had lots of shampoos, but this is our favorite by far. Really like it a lot.
What appeals to me the most about this (besides it being free of chemicals) is less lather. I always seem to soap my guys too much, then struggle trying to wash it out.
It is super easy and fast to wash out after the dog has a bit of a shampoo massage and the scent is so nice and mild. We were really amazed.
Your furs DO look SUPERB after that Baff with this shampoo. We don’t like Baffs much… butt this one sounds like it is Better than MOST.
I really don’t like to get a bath. I love water, but not a bath. This shampoo is real nice, though and I didn’t mind it at all.
What a great day in the tub.
It was as good as a tub day can be. I’m not big on getting squeaky clean!
I think I may have heard of this shampoo before. The pomegranite scent sounds amazing, but I do like the smell of Jasmine too. Your furs do look amazing afterwards, Emma!
It is such a light scent, Mom barely notices it, which is ideal. I think the strong scent of most shampoos is one reason I dislike baths so much.
That first bath shot of Emma is wild! I don’t think I realized how hound-shaped your pups’ faces are until I saw that photo.
Mom say we look like drowned rats and not ourselves at all when we are soaking wet. We are much smaller too without all the furs!
I haven’t heard of this brand before but I love the pump idea!
It’s awesome shampoo. I think I like it better than I usually do because it barely has a scent.
We hadn’t hear of this brand either, but Mama is so interested in the fact that it removes bacteria and toxins from the skin, that she is skipping the contest and ordering it direct for poor Arty, who suffers from the itchies due to environmental allergies….to see if it will help!! Thanks for the great review, Emma!
Smileys!

That is awesome! I sure hope it helps his skin, it sounds like it will. Keep us posted!
Great review, but I think I’ll skip the water part!
Something about cats and baths…not a good mix!
This shampoo sounds great. I think it’s really cool they use that nano technology, and I also love the fact that the scent sounds very mild. I like the dogs to smell good, but not flowery. I would have chosen pomegranate scent as well!
It is really such a mild smell, Mom loves it and it doesn’t irritate me since I don’t stink like something ridiculous!
That is some gods shampoos
Lily & Edward
We are really liking this shampoo. Very different from any others we have ever used.
Emma you look GREAT post bath!! I’d really love to try some of that shampoo on Shasta?!
We are very impressed with this shampoo. We’ve used other brands in the past that we like, but this one is by far the best one we have used!
Great review, you look so cute as a wet pup! And you sure look nice and fluffy afterwards! 🙂
I love to swim, but a bath isn’t my thing. This shampoo not being so stinky helped me not mind the bath so much.
That looks like a great shampoo. I bet brown dawgs would love the pomegranate too if they got baths. 🙂
It is a real light smell, Mom can barely smell it at all.
Emma, I must say that you look fantastic after your bath! I absolutely do want to snuggle you!
This looks like great shampoo – we aren’t fans of the ones that our heavily scented either but a light pomegranate sounds very nice! Also love the pump bottle – I wish more dog shampoo’s had this as it can be tough to wrangle a wet dog and manipulate a shampoo bottle!
We never thought much about the pump part until it was time to get shampoo on me and it was a piece of cake! I even liked my bath more and I think it was because there was no real strong smell and not so many bubbles.
I might have to buy this too, I looked up the ingredients and everything is indeed all natural. I’m terribly allergic to fragrance so if I want to cuddle with my girls they have to avoid fragrance too. The fact that it doesn’t lather definitely means it’s not chalk full of chemicals and I like that too! Thanks for yet another great product introduction, you definitely look fresh as a daisy after your bath!
