Faulty items are also covered by your rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
How to use & care
1. Wet your dog thoroughly with lukewarm water. 2. Open the port on top of the scrubber and pop in a soap ball. 3. Massage in circles — the ball lathers as you scrub. Rinse well.
After the bath, rinse the scrubber and leave it to dry with the port open so the soap ball lasts longer.
How it works
Three steps to a happier bath
No measuring, no pouring, no slippery bottles. The soap ball sits inside the scrubber and lathers as you massage.

Happy dogs, happy humans
Loved by dogs across South Africa
No more wrestling
Bath time went from a wrestling match to a massage. Our Staffie leans into the scrubber now.
Fast delivery to Cape Town
Ordered Monday morning and it was in my locker on Wednesday. The lavender one smells lovely.
Great for thick coats
Our golden has a double coat — the bristles get the lather right down to the skin.
Easy to pay off
Paid in three instalments at checkout, no fuss. Went for the Ultimate bundle to try all five.
Bye, wet-dog smell
The charcoal ball sorted out the river-swim smell. My bakkie thanks you.
One-handed washing
Love that there's no bottle to juggle — one hand on the dog, one on the scrubber.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions
How does the Smarty-Paws Scrubber work?
Open the port on top, pop in a soap ball and close it. As you massage your wet dog, the soft silicone bristles work the lather into the coat — no pouring, no slippery bottle.
Which formula should I choose?
Each formula is made for a different need — itchy skin, sensitive skin, bath-time nerves, outdoor adventures or a smelly coat. Use the formula finder above, or try all five with the Ultimate Spa Bundle.
How long does a soap ball last?
It depends on your dog's size, coat and how often you bath. Rinse the scrubber after each bath and let it dry with the port open — the ball lasts longer when it isn't left sitting wet.
Is it suitable for puppies and sensitive skin?
Chamomile is our gentlest formula for sensitive skin. For very young puppies, or dogs with a skin condition, please check with your vet first. Always avoid the eyes and rinse well.
How fast is delivery?
Order before 12:00 PM on a working day and we dispatch the same day. The Courier Guy delivers in 2 working days to main centres; outlying areas can take a day or two longer.
Can I collect from a locker?
Yes. Choose a Courier Guy Locker (formerly PUDO) at checkout. You'll get a PIN by SMS and can collect any time, day or night.
Can I pay later?
Yes — choose a buy-now-pay-later option at checkout, subject to the provider's approval. The calculator on the product page shows what each payment would be.
What is your guarantee?
You have 31 days from delivery to return your order if it isn't right for you or your dog. Our returns policy has the details.
How do I clean the scrubber?
Rinse it under warm water after each bath and leave it to air-dry with the port open. The silicone rinses clean easily.
