We produce each batch fresh to ensure quality, consistency, and scent integrity—rather than pulling from long-stored inventory. Because of this small-batch process, shipping timelines may vary slightly depending on order volume, but it allows us to deliver the highest-quality product possible every time.
Most orders ship within 1–3 weeks, depending on order size and production queue. All items are made to order.
🐾 Free Shipping:
Orders of $350 or more qualify for free standard shipping—a great way to save when stocking up on favorites.
📦 Standard Shipping:
For orders under that threshold, shipping charges are calculated at checkout based on your location, chosen service, and package weight.
✈️ International Shipping:
International shipping costs vary widely by country and carrier and will be shown at checkout when you enter your address.
Cancellations and changes can only be made within a short window after you place your order — typically within the first few hours. If you need to cancel or adjust your order (such as changing a scent, size, or address), please contact our support team as soon as possible with your order number. Once an order has been submitted, we are unable to guarantee cancellations or modifications. We’ll do our best to help, but once your order enters production, changes may not be possible.
Yes — The Funky Poodle does ship internationally! 🌍
While our primary currency and store settings are shown in USD, international shipping is available to many countries. Once you enter your shipping address at checkout, the system will calculate international shipping costs and delivery options for your region based on weight, destination, and carrier.
Keep in mind that international delivery times and fees can vary by country, and customers are responsible for any applicable customs duties, taxes, or import fees that may be charged by the destination country.
If you’re unsure whether your country is supported or need help with an international order, just reach out to our support team — we’re happy to assist! 🤝

We take sensitive skin seriously — many pets have delicate or reactive skin, and we design our products with that in mind.
Here’s how to approach it:
🐾 Start with our gentle formulas
We offer hypoallergenic and unscented options that are formulated to be extra mild while still delivering excellent cleaning performance.
🧪 Patch test first
Before a full bath, apply a small amount of diluted product to a tiny area and rinse. Wait 24 hours to check for any irritation or redness.
💧 Dilute appropriately
Even gentle formulas are concentrated. Using the right dilution helps minimize irritation while still cleaning effectively.
🚫 If there’s a reaction
If your pet shows signs of irritation (redness, itching, swelling), rinse thoroughly with clean water and discontinue use. If symptoms continue, consult your veterinarian.
💬 We’re here to help
Not sure which product to try? Contact us with your pet’s breed, age, coat type, and skin concerns — we’ll guide you to the best match.
Your pet’s comfort comes first! 🐶💛
No — The Funky Poodle formulas are carefully crafted to be effective yet gentle.
Here’s what we do and don’t include:
❌ No parabens — We avoid these preservatives that can be harsh on skin.
❌ No harsh sulfates — Our shampoos are free of aggressive detergents like sodium lauryl sulfate.
❌ No unnecessary harsh fillers — We don’t add ingredients that strip natural oils or irritate skin.
✅ We do use pet-safe surfactants and cleansing agents that clean thoroughly without drying or damaging the skin and coat.
✅ Fragrances and botanical extracts are chosen with skin safety in mind.
So while our products deliver performance groomers expect, they’re formulated to be skin-friendly and salon-safe for routine bathing.
If your pet has known sensitivities or specific ingredient concerns, we’re happy to help recommend the best option! 🐾✨
If your pet shows any signs of irritation, itching, redness, swelling, or discomfort:
🐾 Stop using the product immediately
Rinse your pet thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining residue.
📞 Contact your veterinarian
If symptoms persist, worsen, or seem severe, seek veterinary guidance right away.
📸 Reach out to us
Let us know what happened and include your order number and photos if possible. We want to help and will work with you to make things right.
🧪 Patch testing for the future
For pets with sensitive skin, we always recommend patch testing diluted product on a small area before a full bath.
Your pet’s safety and comfort come first — always. 🐶💛
Yes — many of The Funky Poodle formulas are designed to be hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin.
Here’s what that means:
✅ We use cleansing agents and conditioners that are less likely to irritate.
✅ We avoid harsh chemicals, parabens, and unnecessary fillers.
✅ We offer unscented and fragrance-free options for pets with known sensitivities.
That said, no product can be guaranteed completely reaction-free for every individual animal. If your pet has a history of skin allergies or reactions, we recommend:
• Starting with an unscented or hypoallergenic product
• Doing a small patch test before full bathing
• Using proper dilution as recommended
If you need help selecting the right product for your pet’s skin type, we’re here to help! 🐾💛
Yes — all of our fragrances are carefully selected and formulated specifically for use in pet grooming products.
Here’s what that means:
✅ They’re used at concentrations that are safe for animal skin and coats.
✅ They’re chosen to minimize irritation while delivering a pleasant, long-lasting scent.
✅ They’re tested in real grooming environments to ensure performance without compromise.
We don’t use overpowering or unnecessary fragrance levels that could irritate pets, and we offer unscented options for animals with sensitivities.
If your pet has known fragrance allergies or extremely sensitive skin, we recommend starting with a gentle, unscented formula and doing a small patch test before a full bath.
Yes — when used as directed with proper dilution, The Funky Poodle products are formulated to be safe for routine and frequent bathing.
Here’s why:
✅ Our shampoos and conditioners use gentle, skin-friendly surfactants that clean without stripping natural oils.
✅ The formulas are balanced for coat health, helping maintain moisture and manageability even with repeated use.
✅ Dilution recommendations are designed to minimize irritation while still delivering excellent performance.
🧪 Tips for frequent bathing:
• Always dilute according to the instructions — more concentrated mixtures can be too strong for regular use.
• Follow up with conditioner or leave-in hydration for best skin comfort.
• If your pet has known sensitivities, choose an unscented or hypoallergenic option and patch-test first.
If you’re unsure what dilution or product is best for your grooming schedule and your pet’s coat type, just ask — we’re happy to help! 🐾✨
Absolutely — The Funky Poodle products are very well-suited for mobile grooming!
Here’s why mobile professionals love them:
✅ Highly concentrated — Great for saving space and stretching product in compact mobile units.
✅ Rinse-clean performance — Formulas rinse easily without leaving slippery residue — a huge plus when you’re bathing in tight spaces.
✅ Versatile dilution — Works in mixing bottles, tubs, and bathing systems common in mobile rigs.
✅ Salon-grade results — You get professional performance without needing bulky quantities of product.
Whether you’re running a one-person mobile grooming business or servicing multiple pets a day, our products are formulated to deliver consistent, reliable results in the environments where water, space, and time matter most.
If you need help picking the right dilution ratios or product combinations for your setup, we’d love to help! 🐾🚐✨
Our shampoos are highly concentrated at 50:1, which means a little goes a long way.
We offer 32 oz and gallon sizes, and when diluted properly, they produce an impressive amount of ready-to-use shampoo:
🧴 32 oz bottle (at 50:1):
Makes up to 12.5 gallons of usable shampoo.
🛢️ 1 gallon jug (at 50:1):
Makes up to 50 gallons of usable shampoo.
That makes our shampoos extremely cost-effective for busy salons, mobile groomers, and multi-dog households — without sacrificing performance or coat quality.
Our shampoos are 50:1 concentrates, meaning they’re designed to be heavily diluted while still delivering powerful cleaning and coat results.
Recommended starting point:
🧴 Shampoo: 50:1 (50 parts water to 1 part product)
From there, you can adjust slightly based on your needs:
• Heavily soiled coats: 30:1–40:1
• Maintenance baths or light soil: 50:1
• Dense or oily coats: 40:1
Always mix thoroughly before use and avoid applying undiluted shampoo directly to the coat.
If you’re using a bathing system, mixing bottle, or mobile unit and want help dialing in the perfect ratio for your setup — just reach out. We’re happy to help! 🐾
Yes — absolutely! Our formulas were developed with professional workflows in mind, and they work exceptionally well in most grooming bathing systems, including injection systems and recirculating machines.
Because Funky Poodle shampoos are 50:1 concentrates and naturally thicker than many runnier salon brands, some systems may need a little dialing-in at first. Once adjusted, they perform beautifully thanks to surfactants designed to activate fully when properly diluted.
What you can expect:
✅ Consistent performance through bathing systems
✅ Rinse-clean formulas with no slippery residue
✅ Excellent suds control for recirculating environments
If your system struggles to pull the shampoo at full strength:
• Start on a lower dilution setting so the system can draw product smoothly
• Pre-dilute the shampoo in a separate container (for example, mix Funky at 10:1 or 16:1 first, then add it to the reservoir)
• Test the line before bathing to check for sputtering or air pockets
• Use warm water to help keep flow consistent
For recirculate units, we recommend starting with:
🧴 4 tablespoons–4 ounces, depending on the amount of water in your machine
Start low and gradually add more until you find the perfect ratio for your specific system.
Once your setup is dialed in, Funky Poodle shampoos deliver powerful cleaning, beautiful coat finish, and smooth system flow — making them a favorite in busy salons and mobile units alike. 🐾💧✨
✅ Efficient use of product thanks to 50:1 concentration
Just mix at the recommended dilution for your system and coat condition, and you’ll get salon-quality cleaning without common bathing-system headaches.
If you want help setting up your specific system’s ratios or workflows, we’re happy to assist! 🐾💧

Two fan favorites consistently top the charts at The Funky Poodle:
🌿 Vanilla & Fig — Warm, smooth, and lightly sweet with a luxe finish that clients and pet parents absolutely love.
🥒🍈 Cucumber Melon — Clean, fresh, and bright… the ultimate “just groomed” scent that never goes out of style.
Both are long-lasting without being overpowering and work beautifully across coat types — which is why they remain best-sellers in salons and homes alike. 🐾✨
Most of our shampoos share the same high-quality hypo base with different fragrance profiles. Some specialty lines—such as whitening or color-enhancing formulas—have targeted ingredients for specific coat needs.
Secret Sauce is our signature finishing oil designed to add shine, softness, hydration, and scent longevity without weighing the coat down. It can also be added to our conditioner and detangling spray. A little goes a long way!
Yes! Our conditioner is dual-purpose.
• Rinse-out: Leave on 5–10 minutes before rinsing.
• Leave-in: Apply sparingly for ongoing hydration and manageability. The coat will absorb what it needs and any excess will blow off during drying without leaving residue.
