DETAILED DESCRIPTION

What It Is

Bio-Groom Ultra Black Colour Enhancing Dog Shampoo is a professional-grade, colour-specific shampoo formulated in the USA by Bio-Groom — a family-owned, groomers-trusted brand manufacturing natural pet grooming products since 1971. Available in a 3.8 L gallon bottle with an 8:1 dilution capacity, this is the large-format version of Bio-Groom’s most widely used shampoo for dark-coated dogs — designed for pet parents and professional groomers who want consistent, colour-rich results at the most economical cost per bath. The formula uses a warm-toned pearlescent brightener system combined with hydrolyzed soy protein, Pro Vitamin B5, and Vegetable Glycerine to simultaneously enhance coat colour depth and improve coat health with every wash.

Who It Is For

Ultra Black gallon is the ideal choice for four groups of users. First, owners of dark-coated breeds who bathe their dogs frequently and want to maintain rich coat colour without the per-bottle cost of smaller formats — particularly relevant for large breeds like black Labradors, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Great Danes, and German Shepherds. Second, professional groomers who regularly groom dark-coated clients and need a reliable, salon-grade colour-enhancing shampoo in a volume that suits high-frequency use. Third, show dog owners who prepare their dark-coated dogs for competitions and exhibitions and need a consistently deep, lustrous coat result before every event. Fourth, pet parents who have noticed their black dog’s coat developing a reddish or brownish tone — a common effect of sun exposure and hard water in India — and want a formula that actively counteracts this fading with regular use.

Why It Is Better

Most general-purpose dog shampoos available in India treat all coat colours identically — cleaning effectively while leaving the coat tonally flat. Budget dark coat shampoos often rely on artificial colour deposits that fade within a bath or two. Bio-Groom Ultra Black uses Carbon Black and pearlescent brighteners that work by reflecting and amplifying the existing dark pigment in the coat — producing a deeper, richer visual result that looks entirely natural. This approach neither bleaches nor dyes the coat; it works with the coat’s existing colour rather than over it. The soy protein and Pro Vitamin B5 in the formula strengthen and condition the coat simultaneously — meaning the coat is not only richer in colour after each bath but structurally healthier with less breakage and dullness over time. At the 3.8 L gallon format with an 8:1 dilution, the cost per bath is significantly lower than repeated purchases of smaller bottles, making it the practical long-term choice for any dark-coated dog owner who grooms regularly. Manufactured from 100% renewable, biodegradable coconut oil derivatives, free from parabens and soap, and made in the USA to human-grade ingredient standards.

When to Use

Use during regular bath sessions every 2 to 4 weeks, or more frequently for dark-coated dogs that tend to develop reddish or dull tones quickly due to sun exposure or hard water. For maximum colour enhancement before a show or event, use undiluted and follow the double-wash method. For routine maintenance bathing, dilute at 8:1 with warm water. Pairs with Bio-Groom Silk Conditioning Crème Rinse for a complete colour-enhancing and moisturising grooming result.

USAGE GUIDE

Standard Use (Diluted — Routine Bathing):

Step 1 — Shake the bottle well before use. Step 2 — Dilute 1 part Ultra Black shampoo with up to 8 parts warm water in a squeeze bottle or separate container. Mix thoroughly before applying. Step 3 — Wet the coat completely with lukewarm water from neck to tail. Step 4 — Apply the diluted shampoo evenly through the coat, building a rich lather. Work down to the skin level on denser or double-layered coats. Avoid contact with eyes. Step 5 — Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Step 6 — For best colour enhancement, apply the shampoo a second time and rinse again. The pearlescent brighteners build in intensity and depth with each successive application. Step 7 — Towel dry and blow-dry as usual, brushing through the coat while drying for maximum gloss and tonal depth.

Maximum Colour Enhancement (Show or Event Preparation):

Use undiluted or at a lower dilution of 1:4 for the deepest colour result. Massage through the coat, leave on for 3 to 5 minutes, rinse, and repeat before the final rinse for a rich, competition-ready finish.

Tip: Follow with Bio-Groom Silk Conditioning Crème Rinse for a smooth, residue-free coat with sustained colour depth and manageable texture.

Do not allow contact with eyes. For external use on dogs and cats of all ages including puppies. Safe for use alongside topical flea and tick treatments.
