Iv San Bernard Green Apple Shampoo | Long & Curly Coat Dogs | Moisturising & Detangling

Long and curly coats — doodles, poodles, lhasa apso, havanese, and similar breeds — present a specific challenge during bathing: the coat traps knots, retains residue, and is prone to dryness when washed with the wrong formula. A shampoo that strips without restoring leads to a coat that is harder to brush out, quicker to mat, and duller after every wash.

The Iv San Bernard Green Apple Shampoo is formulated specifically for long-coated dogs and cats. It cleanses thoroughly while moisturising and restoring the coat structure, leaving the hair soft, manageable, and with a natural shine. Its gentle detangling action allows knots to be worked out during the bath without causing skin irritation — making the post-bath brushing stage noticeably easier.

What it does:

✔ Moisturises and restores coat structure — reduces dryness and brittleness in long and curly coats
✔ Gentle detangling during the wash — reduces resistance when brushing out after bathing
✔ Leaves coat soft and shiny without heaviness or residue
✔ Suitable for sensitive skin — formulated to minimise the risk of skin reactions
✔ Over 90% biodegradable formula — professionally developed in Italy by Iv San Bernard
✔ Economical dilution ratio — 1 part shampoo to 3 parts water; one bottle covers multiple baths

How to Use

Dilute 1 part shampoo to 3 parts water. Wet the coat thoroughly with lukewarm water. Work the diluted shampoo gently into the coat for approximately 3 minutes, ensuring it reaches the skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. For best results, follow immediately with the Iv San Bernard Mela Verde Conditioner Plus to further soften the coat and ease detangling.

Why We Selected It

The Iv San Bernard Traditional Line is one of the most widely used professional grooming ranges in European salons. The Green Apple Shampoo sits within their coat-type-specific system — designed for long coats rather than as a generic formula — which is precisely the approach SPLOOT looks for when selecting grooming products. It performs consistently across the long and curly coat types most common among our customers' dogs, and pairs directly with the Green Apple Balsam for a complete bath routine. Iv San Bernard holds the Safe Pet Cosmetics® certification (Certificate No. 18001), the first European pet cosmetics brand to do so.

Suitable For

Long-coated and curly-coated dogs and cats. Particularly well suited to: Poodles, Cavapoos, Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Lhasa Apsos, Havanese, and Maltese. Also appropriate for other long-coated mixed breeds. Not the primary recommendation for short or smooth coats — see the Iv San Bernard Lemon Shampoo for those coat types.
