There’s nothing quite like the feel of your dog’s coat after a bath (well, after she finishes the zoomies and dries off).

Even if your dog normally sports a soft and silky coat, it undoubtedly feels and looks its best after being lathered and rinsed with a good shampoo specifically designed for dogs.

But there’s one way to make her coat feel even better: Follow up the shampoo with a high-quality conditioner! This will not only make her feel even softer than normal, it’ll help keep her coat looking and feeling its best for longer too.

We’ll talk about dog conditioners below and explain the kinds of things you want to look for when making your purchase. We’ll then finish up by recommending five of the best conditioners on the market.
