Our Large White Dogs List

In selecting the dog breeds below, my assumptions were:

• White is considered a dominant color in each breed and sometimes not the only color for that breed.
• Large is considered a dog that weighs 65 pounds or more as an adult dog.

Are These Dogs Too Big?

If you want a white dog breed but feel the breeds we’ve covered so far are a little to big, check out our article that covers very small, small, and medium-sized white dog breeds.

How To Get White Dogs Clean?

A clean white coat sparkles, but white coats also loudly broadcast the presence of stains that would usually go unnoticed on a darker coat. Once these stains set in, they can become surprisingly difficult to remove. So, how do you keep your dog’s white coat clean?

Dog whitening shampoo

Based on my research, the dog whitening shampoo recommended the most often were the Chris Christensen White on White Whitening Treatment Shampoo and the Super White Pet Shampoo by Bio-Groom.

For the full spa treatment, take a look at the video below.

The products used on Bentley in the video were:

• Pure Paws Star Line Factor Zero Shampoo
• Earthbath Puppy Shampoo
• Chris Christensen White on White
• Tropiclean Tearless Facial Cleanser (Oatmeal and Blueberry)
• Chris Christensen After Bathe Final Rinse (conditioner)

Always avoid shampoo near the eyes of your dog – even “tearless” dog shampoos. If you have a Standard Poodle where their tears stain their fur, buy separate tear stain wipes or remover.

Homemade dog whitening shampoo recipe

For those of you who don’t trust dog whitening shampoos not to contain any excessively harmful chemicals, you can try making your own! 

Here are the ingredients that you need to make your very own dog whitening shampoo:

• A bottle
• For a scented shampoo, use scented dish soap, like Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Liquid Dish Soap
• Apple cider vinegar
• Water
• Liquid glycerin
• Liquid bluing.

Now that you have all the ingredients, these are the steps to make the shampoo:

1. Add ½ cup dish soap to the empty bottle. 
2. Add ½ cup apple cider vinegar to the bottle. 
3. Pour ½ cup water to make the solution less viscous and easier to apply. 
4. Add two tablespoons of liquid glycerin and liquid bluing. 
5. Cap the bottle and shake it vigorously to mix everything well. 

Your shampoo is now ready for use!

How to use hydrogen peroxide to whiten dog fur

Before using hydrogen peroxide, try using a whitening shampoo on your dog’s fur. 

If the stubborn stain still refuses to come out, you can follow the steps below:

1. Rinse your dog’s coat with warm water. 
2. Mix hydrogen peroxide and cornstarch together. You can use this McKesson AntiSeptic 3% Strength Hydrogen Peroxide Solution if you don’t have any, or go to your local vet’s and get a bottle of solution from them. 
3. Use your hands to apply this solution onto the coat gently. Try to prevent your dog from licking the mixture off – it is not toxic, but it could make your dog throw up when ingested in excessive amounts. 
4. Leave the mixture on for five to fifteen minutes, depending on the severity of the stain. 
5. Rinse the coat using warm water and brush the stained areas to remove residue. 
6. Dry the coat. 

How to remove brown stains from white dog fur

Removing brown stains from your dog’s fur requires you to determine the severity of these stains. If they’re just general dirt stains, it’s nothing that a little water and whitening shampoo won’t fix. 

If these brown stains are around your dog’s eyes and mouth, they could be from a yeast infection. This is especially true if the stains have an odor coming from them. Begin with a vet checkup to determine if there is anything seriously wrong with your dog or not. Otherwise, you can try using a peroxide and cornstarch mixture, being very careful not to get any in the eye. 

How to whiten dog fur with baking soda

Apart from hydrogen peroxide, which is slightly more difficult to procure and also more foreign to the layman, you can try using baking soda to whiten your dog’s fur. Baking soda acts as a milder bleaching agent in place of actual bleach, which is far too harmful to ever apply on your dog’s coat. 

Simply make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it onto a damp fur coat. After letting it dry, wipe it off with a wet cloth. If the stain still hasn’t left, rinse, and repeat until you have a shiny white coat in front of your eyes. 

How to remove saliva stains from white dog fur

Large white dogs like the Akita Inu, American Bulldog and Clumber Spaniel tend to drool.

Saliva stains have a nasty tendency to turn your dog’s pristine white fur coat an angry pinkish-red color. 

To prevent this problem from occurring in the first place, be sure to wipe away saliva when your pet starts to drool. However, if this isn’t possible for you, these are some ways you can try:

• Use pet wipes. These are like baby wipes, but for dogs. If you don’t have any, consider getting Pogi’s Grooming Wipes to get rid of those nasty saliva stains!
• Use whitening shampoo. A quick wash with a dog whitening shampoo should do the trick in getting rid of those stains!
