De-Wipe dog shampoo and conditioner for investigation dogs
De-Wipe has launched De-Wipe Dog Shampoo & Conditioner for fire investigation dogs, with samples available on request.
The company said the product was developed to remove contaminants and support the work of investigation dogs.
De-Wipe described the product as intended to help remove fireground contaminants while caring for dogs’ skin and coat.
It said effective decontamination can remove substances including soot, hydrocarbons and other combustion products that can be absorbed into a dog’s coat and skin.
Use after incidents and handling contamination
De-Wipe said fire investigation dogs can carry toxic fireground residues on their coat, paws and harness, which can increase the risk of cross-contamination to handlers, vehicles, kennels and home environments.
The company added that regular decontamination supports skin and coat health and can help reduce irritation and long-term health risks linked to repeated exposure.
It also said cleaning after exposure is intended to ensure dogs are safe, comfortable and ready for their next task without carrying residual contamination forward.
Martin Lown at Phoenix Forensic Service Provider FireWise UK Learning Academy said: “I have been really impressed with the new dog shampoo. It smells great and, most importantly, it effectively removes the lingering smell of contaminants after operations.
“After washing, Hygge is left with that fresh ‘puppy smell’, which is a huge improvement.
“It’s a product / am very happy to use and would definitely recommend.”
