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.

  1. Take a soap ball
  2. Insert it into the scrubber port
  3. Lather, scrub & pamper

Good questions

Before you buy

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 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.

Still wondering? WhatsApp us or email paws@smart-basics.co.za

The 31-Day Happy Dog Guarantee

Give it a proper try. If the Smarty-Paws system isn't right for you or your dog, let us know within 31 days of delivery and we'll make it right with a refund or exchange.
