When you pick a pet shampoo, the label should mean something. Presto Shampoo keeps it simple: a performance blend that supports skin comfort, coat health, and easy rinse-out — with your choice of a light Lavender or light Plum scent.
Scent clarity: Presto comes in two distinct options — Lavender OR Plum. You select one at purchase. The formula does not include both scents together.
What’s inside — and why it matters
1) Keratin — for a smoother, stronger coat
Keratin is the primary protein found in hair. Adding keratin helps:
Fill in rough spots along the hair shaft to reduce frizz and tangles
Boost shine and “slip,” making brushing easier after bath
Support feel and appearance on long, double, or curly coats
Good for: dogs that mat easily, long-mane horses, and any pet needing post-bath brushability.
2) Biotin — supports healthy skin & coat turnover
Biotin (vitamin B7) is widely used in grooming products to:
Support normal keratin production in skin and hair
Promote coat fullness and a healthy look over time
Complement keratin for a balanced “strength + softness” effect
Good for: pets with dull, lackluster coats or frequent outdoor exposure.
3) Vitamin B (Pro-vitamin B5 / Panthenol) — hydration & gloss
Panthenol binds to the hair surface and attracts moisture:
Helps hair retain hydration after rinse-off
Leaves a soft, conditioned feel without heavy residue
Adds natural sheen that shows up after blow-dry or air-dry
Good for: sensitive or dry skin, brittle ends, sun-exposed manes/tails.
4) Aloe Vera — soothe & balance
Aloe is a classic, gentle skin soother:
Helps calm the feel of skin after play, dust, and heat
Adds slip for easier detangling
Works with panthenol to support comfortable post-bath skin
Good for: frequent bathers, seniors, and pets after park or trail days.
5) Jojoba Oil — lightweight conditioning
Technically a liquid wax ester, jojoba mimics natural skin oils:
Conditions without greasiness
Helps reduce static and flyaways
Enhances coat softness and manageability
Good for: thick coats that need conditioning but not weight.
6) Lavender or 7) Plum Oil — pick the finish you prefer
Presto offers two scent profiles — you choose one:
Lavender: light, clean herbal finish that rinses to a soft whisper.
Plum: fresh, subtly fruity finish — bright but never sugary.
Cat note: Presto’s cat version uses a fragrance-light approach. Never use undiluted essential oils on pets; always use a pet-formulated shampoo as directed. If your cat is extremely scent-sensitive, choose the lightest option and rinse thoroughly.
What you won’t find
No harsh sulfates or parabens
No heavy perfumes that linger for days
No waxy buildup that can trap dirt
Why Presto feels different in the tub
Low-lather, easy-rinse system: cleans effectively and rinses fast so less product remains on skin/hair.
Balanced pH: designed for pets, not people, to support the skin barrier.
Concentrated performance: a little goes a long way on dogs, cats, and horses.
Dilution policy: We don’t recommend diluting Presto in the bottle. The formula’s pH and active levels are set for best cleaning, conditioning, and rinsing. If you prefer a lighter wash for small pets, apply a smaller amount to a wet coat and add water as you massage — then rinse thoroughly.
Quick usage guide
- Wet coat fully with lukewarm water
2. Apply a small amount of Presto, (a Luffa Sponge Works Best) work from neck to tail (avoid eyes/ears).
3. Massage 2–3 minutes; add a splash of water to spread as needed.
4. Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear.
5. Towel or blow-dry; brush out for maximum shine.
Which scent should I choose?
Lavender: if you like a spa-clean vibe and have a nervous traveler or first-time bather.
Plum: if you prefer a modern, fresh finish that feels bright and crisp.
Both rinse down to a subtle finish — never heavy or perfumey.
