Choosing the right formula: GentleCare is intended for mild, sensitive-skin bathing. It does not treat skin disease or control parasites. For persistent itching, broken skin or recurring irritation, consult a veterinarian. For tick-season grooming, consider TickGuard after checking that it is appropriate for your dog.

Why Trust This Formula

Purpose-led formula: Developed around a mild, soap-free cleansing routine for puppies and sensitive skin.

Recognisable ingredients: Oatmeal, calendula, neem oil and vitamin E are clearly identified in the current formula information.
Clear exclusions: Made without sulphates, parabens, alcohol or dyes, based on the current formula information.

How to Use

Wet the coat with comfortably warm water. Apply a small amount and massage gently. A low, soft lather is normal for a soap-free formula. Rinse fully and pat dry. Keep a puppy’s first bath warm, short and calm.

“Oatmeal and calendula are the two ingredients I recommend most for dogs with reactive skin. This formula keeps both at a useful concentration and skips the fragrance that usually undoes the good work.”

In real homes

Day 11, no scratching

Lather goes a long way

Refill, don't rebuy

Made for the pets who react to everything

Four things we got right so your pet stops scratching and you stop reading labels.

11 days

Average time to calm

Measured across 380 customers with itch-prone dogs.

Oat and calendula base

The two ingredients vets recommend most for reactive skin.

No fragrance, ever

Added scent is the most common trigger we see. So there isn't any.

Safe from 8 weeks

Gentle enough for puppies, kittens and senior pets alike.

What's inside

Nine ingredients. Every one earns its place.

No filler, no mystery "fragrance" line. Here's what each ingredient is actually for.

Hero ingredient

Colloidal oatmeal Avena sativa

Forms a film over irritated skin, which calms itching and gives the barrier time to repair.

Soother

Calendula extract Calendula officinalis

Reduces redness around hot spots and small irritations without stinging.

Hydrator

Aloe vera Aloe barbadensis

Holds water in the skin, so the coat doesn't dry out after a wash.

Coat care

Vitamin E Tocopherol

Softens the coat and cuts down the flaking that follows a dry winter.

Never in a Nurvia bottle

Sulphates (SLS/SLES)
Parabens
Artificial fragrance
Phthalates
Artificial colour
Alcohol

Bath time, minus the drama

Four steps, about ten minutes

The order matters more than the effort. Follow this and one bottle lasts around 18 washes.

Wet the coat

Lukewarm water, right down to the skin. Most of a thick coat stays dry otherwise.

Lather thinly

Two to three pumps for a medium dog. Work it in along the back and under the legs.

Wait three minutes

This is the part people skip. The oats need time on the skin to do anything.

Rinse, dry, brush

Rinse until the water runs clear, towel dry, then brush while slightly damp.

Warm the bottle between your palms before you start. Cold lather is the single most common reason a dog bolts mid-bath.

How it compares to a supermarket wash

We're not the cheapest bottle on the shelf. This is where the difference goes.
