What Is Day to Day Shampoo?
Chris Christensen Day to Day Shampoo is a mild, moisturising dog and cat shampoo designed for regular bathing.
Unlike shampoos intended for deep cleansing or specific coat treatments, Day to Day is formulated to provide gentle everyday cleansing while helping maintain the skin and coat’s natural moisture.
Its combination of Colloidal Oatmeal, Vitamin E and natural botanical extracts makes it a useful option for pets that need a gentle shampoo that does not unnecessarily strip moisture from the coat.
Is Day to Day Shampoo Good for Dry Skin?
Yes. Day to Day Shampoo is particularly suited to pets with dry skin, thanks to its moisturising formula and concentrated oatmeal.
The manufacturer specifically describes the shampoo as being wonderful for pets with dry, itchy skin.
If your pet has persistent or severe itching, irritation or skin problems, consult a veterinarian rather than relying on grooming products alone.
Day to Day Shampoo for Dogs
Day to Day Shampoo is suitable for all dog breeds and coat types.
It can be used as a regular bathing shampoo when you want to cleanse the coat while maintaining moisture and leaving the coat looking clean, healthy and shiny.
Day to Day Shampoo for Cats
The formula is also suitable for cats, making it a versatile shampoo for households with both dogs and cats.
Chris Christensen lists Day to Day Shampoo as suitable for all skin and coat types of both cats and dogs.
Day to Day Shampoo for Frequent Bathing
One of the key advantages of Day to Day Shampoo is that it is mild enough for everyday use.
This makes it particularly useful for:
- Dogs that are bathed regularly
- Show dogs requiring frequent grooming
- Pets that get dirty outdoors
- Active dogs
- Professional grooming salons
- Regular coat maintenance
- Between specialist shampoo treatments
Day to Day Shampoo for Dry, Itchy Skin
The concentrated oatmeal in Day to Day Shampoo helps provide moisturising and skin-conditioning properties.
Colloidal Oatmeal is a key ingredient associated with soothing and moisturising dry skin, making it an important part of the formula.
Day to Day is therefore a good choice when you want a gentle moisturising shampoo for a dry coat or dry skin.
Day to Day Shampoo for Coat Shine
Day to Day Shampoo helps restore moisture while adding body and sheen to the coat.
After bathing, the coat can feel clean, soft and manageable while retaining a healthy-looking shine.
Is Day to Day Shampoo Colour Safe?
Yes. Day to Day Shampoo is colour-safe and is designed not to strip coat colour.
This makes it useful between colour-enhancing shampoos when you need to clean the coat without unnecessarily affecting its existing colour.
Day to Day Shampoo for All Coat Types
Day to Day Shampoo is suitable for all skin and coat types.
It can be used on a wide variety of coat types, making it a versatile general-purpose shampoo for both professional groomers and pet owners.

Day to Day Shampoo vs Clean Start Clarifying Shampoo
These two shampoos serve different purposes.
Day to Day Shampoo
Best for:
- Regular bathing
- Dry skin
- Moisture maintenance
- Gentle cleansing
- All coat types
- Frequent grooming
Clean Start Clarifying Shampoo
Best for:
- Deep cleansing
- Removing product buildup
- Removing oils and residue
- Preparing the coat for grooming or styling
Choose Day to Day when gentle moisturising cleansing is the priority and Clean Start when the coat needs deeper clarification.
Day to Day Shampoo vs Miracle Moisture Shampoo
Both products focus on moisture, but they are designed for different levels of conditioning.
Day to Day Shampoo is a mild, everyday shampoo designed for regular bathing and maintaining moisture.
Miracle Moisture Shampoo is part of the Diamond Series and is designed as a more intensive moisturising shampoo.
For regular bathing, Day to Day is an excellent everyday option. For a coat requiring additional moisture and conditioning, consider Miracle Moisture.
Pair With Day to Day Moisturizing Conditioner
For the complete Day to Day grooming system, follow the shampoo with Chris Christensen Day to Day Moisturizing Conditioner.
The conditioner is designed for overstressed coats and uses botanical ingredients and oil-free moisturising agents to help lock in moisture and improve coat manageability.
