Sources checked 11 September 2026. These are non-medicated retail pack examples, not hands-on tests or medical recommendations. Bottle-unit prices do not establish equal cleaning performance or cost per bath; no diluted yield is assumed. The displayed £2.40 figures round different values (Animology £2.396 versus Bugalugs £2.398 per 100ml). Prices, delivery and stock can change; confirm the full payable checkout amount. A separate VAT breakdown was not established. Professional grooming fees are a different purchase.
Compare the exact bottle and purchase conditions
The two Animology examples are 250ml bottles. The Bugalugs example is its 500ml pump, not a 5-litre refill or a subscription price. Wahl’s 500ml offer is promotional, so compare the current payable price rather than assuming that offer will still apply at the next purchase.
Sources: Animology · Animology · Bugalugs · WahlPrice per 100ml is not cost per bath
We divide the bottle price by its stated volume and multiply by 100. This puts different bottle sizes on a common price basis, but does not establish equal cleaning performance, dilution, the amount you will use or the number of washes.
The manufacturer pages do not provide a consistent basis for a wash-yield comparison. In particular, Wahl’s page contains two different dilution statements. Follow the instructions for the exact bottle or ask the manufacturer; we have not chosen a ratio to make one product appear better value.
Sources: Animology · Animology · Bugalugs · WahlCheck the delivered total for the order you actually need
A bottle-only price excludes any delivery charge. Free-delivery thresholds apply to the supplier’s eligible order, not to a single product in isolation. Confirm your destination, discounts and checkout total; spending more to reach a threshold is not automatically a saving.
Do not multiply a per-order delivery charge by the number of bottles. Conversely, bottles bought from different suppliers may incur separate delivery charges. The table preserves the published delivery conflicts rather than assuming free postage.
Sources: Animology · Bugalugs · WahlWhat this comparison does not assess
These are price and pack comparisons, not tests of fragrance, cleaning, skin suitability or clinical effectiveness. We have not shortlisted products for allergies, skin conditions or treatment, and we do not recommend a bathing schedule. Ask your vet about a medical concern rather than choosing a treatment from a price table.
Compare the complete equipment basket
Use the exact model and size you intend to buy. Add essential accessories and consumables for a clearly chosen period; do not count included parts twice.
Enter your own quotes, including VAT where payable. Prices are deliberately blank. Enter zero for a charge that does not apply. Calculations stay in your browser; quoted amounts are not sent to us.
Replacement frequency is your assumption unless independently measured. Keep kilograms and litres distinct. This total excludes subscriptions and electricity unless you include them in additional charges.
Worked arithmetic example
Illustration only: a £100 delivered product plus 6 replacement packs at £5 totals £130. This is not a product offer or lifespan estimate.
Method: multiply each price by its quantity, round each line to the nearest penny, then add. No inflation or unentered charges are assumed.
