Winter brings cosy nights, muddy paws, and the perfect excuse to reset your pet’s grooming routine. Just like us, our pets can experience dry skin, dull coats, and extra build-up during colder months.
Here’s how to create a gentle, vet-approved winter bath routine that leaves them clean, calm, and oh-so-snuggly.
Step 1: Pick a calm, warm moment
Wait until your pet has had a walk or some playtime. A little pre-bath energy release goes a long way in keeping bath time relaxed, especially when the weather’s chilly.
HoneyVet tip: Turn on the bathroom heater or use warm towels straight from the dryer to keep things toasty.
Step 2: Use a gentle, skin-loving shampoo and conditioner
Many pets experience dry or itchy skin in winter, and harsh shampoos only make things worse.
That’s why our HoneyVet Coat Care Bundle is powered by:
- Kānuka honey for its calming, antimicrobial magic
- Colloidal Oatmeal to relieve itch and irritation.
- Aloe Vera, offering extra relief for highly sensitive skin.
- No nasties - just natural ingredients and vet-formulated for sensitive skin
It lathers beautifully, rinses clean, and smells like fresh earth and honeycomb (aka, your new favourite scent).

Step 3: Dry right
Damp fur in winter? Not ideal. Towel-dry thoroughly and, if your pet tolerates it, use a blow dryer on a low setting. Focus on drying paws, underarms, and thick fur patches to avoid chill and moisture build-up.
Step 4: Post-bath TLC
Once dry, finish with our Soothing Skin Spray - a light, natural mist that helps:
- Calm irritation and hotspots
- Soothe dry or inflamed skin
- Add shine and softness to coats
It’s great for post-bath care, in-between washes, or anytime your pet’s skin needs a refresh.
