Oat Active System Clinically Proven Itch Relief & Skin Soothing:
The colloidal oatmeal Oat Active System at the centre of this formula is not simply a marketing inclusion it is a clinically validated skin-calming agent with an extensive body of dermatological research supporting its efficacy in both human and veterinary sensitive skin management. For dogs suffering from environmental allergies (atopy), contact dermatitis, dry skin from seasonal changes, or the general skin sensitivity common in short-coated and thin-skinned breeds, the avenanthramide and beta-glucan components in colloidal oatmeal deliver measurable anti-itch, anti-inflammatory, and skin-barrier-restoring effects with every bath. Indian pet parents whose dogs struggle with the intense summer heat, dusty environments, and the drying effects of hard water will find the oat-based soothing action of Soothe & Shine particularly meaningful.

pH 7.2 Canine Skin-Optimised Formula:
The deliberate pH calibration of Soothe & Shine at 7.2 is one of its most important and scientifically grounded differentiators. The canine skin barrier is maintained by the acid mantle a thin, protective film whose pH sits between 6.5 and 7.5 depending on breed, body region, and individual variation. Every time a dog is bathed with a shampoo that is too acidic or too alkaline for canine skin (including most human shampoos), the acid mantle is disrupted, leaving the skin temporarily vulnerable to bacterial and fungal colonisation, moisture loss, and inflammatory responses. By formulating Soothe & Shine at the precise canine-appropriate pH, Intas ensures that bathing actively supports rather than undermines the skin's natural defence system a benefit of particular importance for dogs bathed frequently or those with pre-existing skin sensitivities.

Paraben-Free, Sulfate-Free & Tear-Free Safe for Sensitive Dogs:
The modern Indian pet parent is increasingly aware of the ingredients going onto their dog's skin and rightly so. Soothe & Shine is formulated without parabens (synthetic preservatives linked to endocrine disruption and skin sensitisation in susceptible animals), without sulfates (harsh surfactants such as SLS/SLES that strip the skin's natural oils and damage the coat cuticle), and with a tear-free formulation that makes it safe to use around the sensitive facial area. This trifecta of safety exclusions makes Soothe & Shine an appropriate choice for dogs with sensitive skin, allergic tendencies, facial dermatitis, or for pet parents who simply prefer a cleaner, gentler ingredient profile in their pet's grooming routine.

Triple Tropical Fruit Extract Complex Natural Exfoliation & Antioxidant Brilliance:
The combination of Papaya, Mango, and Guava extracts in this formula creates a multi-functional botanical complex that goes beyond basic cleansing. Papain from papaya delivers gentle enzymatic exfoliation, Mango's fatty acid profile conditions and softens the coat, and Guava's Vitamin C and quercetin content provides antioxidant protection and sebum balance. Together, these three fruits all Indian-familiar botanicals work synergistically to brighten dull coats, smooth the hair shaft cuticle, reduce tangling and frizzing in long-coated breeds, and protect the skin from the oxidative stress of environmental exposure. The result after each wash is a noticeably brighter, softer, and more lustrous coat that genuinely delivers on the "Shine" promise in the product name.

Aloe Vera & Vitamin Complex Deep Hydration & Coat Conditioning:
The pairing of Aloe Vera Extract with Vitamins E and A creates a comprehensive skin hydration and coat conditioning system. Aloe provides immediate surface cooling, moisture retention, and anti-inflammatory relief; Vitamin E preserves the skin lipid barrier and delivers antioxidant protection; and Vitamin A supports healthy skin cell turnover and follicle health. This three-way botanical-vitamin synergy addresses the underlying causes of coat dullness and skin dryness rather than masking them, delivering genuine dermatological improvement over consistent use. Pet parents who bathe their dogs regularly including those living in hot, dry, or air-conditioned environments will particularly appreciate the maintained hydration this complex delivers across the bathing cycle.

Manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Pharmaceutical-Grade Grooming:
Intas Soothe & Shine is manufactured by the Pet Division of Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. a company widely recognised as one of India's top-tier pharmaceutical manufacturers, with a presence across both human and veterinary medicine. The pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards, quality control protocols, and formulation science applied to human pharmaceutical products are brought to bear on the Soothe & Shine formula, resulting in a dog grooming product that goes well beyond the quality standards of typical cosmetic pet shampoos. For discerning Indian pet parents who want the assurance of pharmaceutical manufacturing standards in their dog's grooming routine, the Intas name on the bottle is a meaningful mark of quality.

Suitable for All Breeds, Sizes & Life Stages:
Intas Soothe & Shine's gentle, pH-optimised, sulfate-free, and paraben-free formulation makes it suitable for dogs of all breeds from fine-coated Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to thick double-coated Huskies and Golden Retrievers as well as all life stages from puppyhood through to senior years. The tear-free formula extends its safe usability to the full-body bath including the facial region. Whether your dog is a playful puppy experiencing its first baths, an adult dog with environmental skin sensitivities, or a senior dog with drier, more delicate skin, Soothe & Shine's dermatologically considered formulation adapts to serve all these needs within a single, versatile product.

Gentle Vanilla Fragrance Fresh, Lasting, Non-Irritating:
The choice of a natural vanilla fragrance in Soothe & Shine reflects an awareness of the impact that synthetic perfumes can have on dogs whose olfactory sensitivity is estimated at 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than that of humans. The gentle, warm sweetness of vanilla is far less likely to cause olfactory distress or fragrance-induced skin sensitisation than sharper, higher-concentration synthetic fragrance compounds used in many competing pet shampoos. For both the dog and the pet parent, the result is a bathing experience that ends in a pleasant, approachable freshness one that makes the dog a genuinely enjoyable cuddle companion post-bath without being overpowering.

How to Use:

1. Wet thoroughly Begin by thoroughly wetting your dog's entire coat with warm water, ensuring water penetrates down to the skin level, particularly in thick double-coated breeds.
2. Apply shampoo Dispense an appropriate amount of Soothe & Shine onto your palm or directly onto the coat. The correct amount varies with body size start conservatively and add more if needed to achieve a rich, even lather across the full coat.
3. Massage gently Using your fingertips (not nails), work the shampoo into the coat in gentle circular motions from neck to tail, ensuring coverage of the underbelly, legs, paws, and chest. Take care to avoid the inner ear canals and eyes.
4. Allow contact time For maximum soothing and conditioning benefit particularly for dogs with dry, itchy, or sensitive skin allow the lathered shampoo to remain on the coat for 3–5 minutes before rinsing. This contact time allows the colloidal oatmeal and botanical actives to fully interact with the skin and coat.
5. Rinse thoroughly Rinse with clean, warm water until the water runs completely clear. Incomplete rinsing is one of the most common causes of post-bath skin irritation in dogs ensure no shampoo residue remains, particularly in skin folds, armpits, and groin areas.
6. Towel dry or blow dry Gently towel dry the coat or use a low-heat pet dryer. Avoid vigorous rubbing which can cause coat tangling and cuticle damage, particularly in long-haired breeds.
7. Brush out Once the coat is dry, brush thoroughly to remove any remaining tangles and to fully distribute the conditioning agents through the hair shaft, revealing the full shine and softness the formula delivers.
