Berry Gentle Ultra Concentrated Face and Body Wash for Pets - 1 gal

Our review of this one gallon bottle of Berry Gentle Ultra Concentrated Face and Body Wash finds it best for groomers and multi-pet households who need an economical, mild shampoo. The single biggest reason to consider it is concentration: the formula claims one gallon dilutes up to 16 gallons with tap water, which makes it easy to mix fresh batches for daily grooming and busy shops. The shampoo is described as tearless and pH balanced, with aloe vera, panthenol and vitamins to soothe skin while leaving a light berry scent.

Key Features

• Ultra concentrated: One gallon dilutes up to 16 gallons, letting a small bottle serve many baths when the recommended same-day dilution is followed.
• Mild, tearless formula: The gentle shampoo base and pH balanced blend make it suitable for head and face washing without harsh stinging.
• Scent and finish: A light berry fragrance and good rinseability leave coats smelling pleasant and free of heavy residue.
• Skin-nourishing ingredients: Aloe vera, panthenol and vitamins A, D and E help soothe and condition skin during washing.
• Biodegradable and non-toxic: The proprietary biodegradable blend is suitable for routine use in grooming environments concerned with safety and cleanup.
• Versatile dilution: Can be applied direct or diluted with warm water to match coat length and soil level for dogs, cats and small animals.

Who It's For

This shampoo suits professional groomers, boarding facilities and owners of long-haired or multiple pets who value cost-per-bath and a mild, tearless head shampoo. It is especially useful when fresh, same-day dilutions are practical and when a light, pleasant berry scent is preferred.

Owners who want single-use pre-diluted bottles or who need fragrance-free, medicated or prescription-strength shampoos should look elsewhere. Also, purchasers who cannot follow the guidance to only dilute what will be used the same day may not get consistent results.
