Omg: Rituals now has a wellness collection for your dog

After the best smelling collections (I'm still mourning the loss of the Dream line), favorite scented candles, and a selection of gifts ‘that always score well’, comes Rituals with some news that will immediately make your Monday morning better: the brand is coming out with a dog spa. Or well. Not a literal dog spa, but a dog spa collection. From today it’s official: you can now get Rituals shampoo, paw balm, and all kinds of other must-have items for your dog .

The Rituals Dog Care is the spa for your four-legged friend

It might sound a bit strange to arrange a ‘spa day’ for your dog, but actually, it's not that crazy at all. Your dog needs to be washed too, right? If you don’t have a regular grooming salon or your groomer is on vacation and your dog just rolled in a pile of leaves after a rain shower, you’ll have to wash your dog yourself. And then you need shampoo. Don’t feel like washing? Then there’s something for you in this collection too. Even if you already have a regular groomer, there’s something for you here. Trust me.

These are our favorite items from the Rituals Dog Care collection

1. Gloss Like A Boss Dog Shampoo (€17,90)

You really can’t give your dog a spa day from top to paw without shampoo. Trying to place a cucumber for fun (or drowned in peanut butter as a snack) on their eyes is a lot easier when your dog isn’t still covered in old fur. With this shampoo, you can give your dog the refresh they need. It’s a gentle formula with chamomile, so you don’t have to worry about any junk in it that your beloved pet might accidentally lick.

2. Dog Collar (€16,90 for size s/m and €21,90 for size m/l)

Okay, okay, this isn’t a grooming product, but it’s really cute. Somehow this collar reminds me of the movie 101 Dalmatians. Maybe it’s that black-and-white print combined with those red details? I think so. But anyway, this collar is a top item. With the gold charm and closure, it has a slightly more luxurious look than the average collar from the pet store, and it’s also practical because it’s adjustable. So whether you have a chihuahua or a large Bernese mountain dog: this fits every loyal pet. Oh, and no: that doesn’t apply to your best human friend, jokester.

3. Pawfection Dog Paw Balm (€16,90)

This is really something you overlook. After a long walk, you come home and let your dog wipe their paws, brush their fur, and wash them if you’re in a good mood. But there’s one thing that, at least in my experience, gets overlooked: paw care. Those pads that your dog walks on are super sensitive. They can get damaged with the slightest touch from a stray pebble or toe from a small, annoying, yappy dog (sorry not sorry). That’s why it’s important to take good care of the bottoms of their paws. This balm is ideal for massaging into the pads, so they stay hydrated. It’s so thick that it creates a protective layer over the paw soles. That’s nice, right?

4. Fresh like A Daisy Air & Fabric Freshner (€19,90)

Every dog owner can surely relate to this: you come home after a weekend trip or business trip and there’s a smell that lingers. After searching the whole house for the culprit behind that nasty wet dog smell, you find out that your dog is indeed the guilty one. With these stubborn odors, it doesn’t make much sense to spray a room spray around. You need something else that specifically clings to those smells from your dog and masks them. That’s what this fabric spray is for. This way, your cushions will smell like white tea, apricot, and sandalwood in no time instead of the sand from the park.

5. Dog Water Bowl (€7,90)

Actually, this was a handy tip for the summer, but you can already buy it for the next heatwave. This dog bowl is not one that you place in a corner next to a big plant, but one for on-the-go walks. It’s small, red (plus point), and collapsible. Take a bottle and this bowl with you, and you can always give your dog fresh water, wherever you are. That’s handy.

6. Fresh & Fluffy Dog Dry Shampoo (€14,90)

Dry shampoo for your dog? It really exists. Only this isn’t a powdery substance that you put on your dog’s ears because they need a wash. This is meant to make them smell nice without giving them a full shower. It neutralizes unwanted odors and makes the coat feel a bit softer than before.

Have you spotted any items you want to use? I’m not saying you need to get the whole dog spa at once, but it’s really fun. You’d almost buy a bathrobe with four sleeves, play relaxing music, and organize a complete spa day for your dog. Those four-legged friends deserve a pampering day too. From today, you can shop the collection online or in-store.
