shampoo

Hey all-
I was wondering what kind of shampoo everyone uses. I'm trying to find one that doesn't hurt if it gets in their eyes and one that is very good for their coats. Any suggestions???

I always use puppy shampoo (I like Groomax from Petsmart). I probably bathe mine more than I should (once a month), but I don't like "dog scented" furniture. This is very gentle, both for their coats, as well as for their ears & eyes.

I use organic and all natural shampoo...costs more, but I don't like the thought of chemicals and alcohol on their skin since they already are sensitive as is...

I also use conditioner

I have recently switched back to using EarthBath products. They are wonderful

I use oxymed, it's a brand I bought at a pet store b/c it's oatmeal based and smells good. Dex hasn't had a problem with it yet!

I use Johnson's baby shampoo. Its the only shampoo that Darwin doesn't react to. We tried other shampoos, but he kept breaking out in hives. Oh, and he only gets a bath about every 6 months unless he is really dirty (like rolled in mud dirty or played in the dust at our friend's farm dirty).

I also use the Johnson's Baby Shampoo (no more tears formula)........I had used a couple dog shampoos that seemed to irritate his hairless 'privates' area (made it very red and splotchy like a burn)............the baby shampoo is super gentle and no more irritation......plus it smells great for a long time.

Whatever is on sale. If your dog doesn't have any skin issues and isn't in need of frequent bathing, it's not going to matter much what shampoo you use.

what's the name of the organic shampoo and where do you get it??

[scsunshine]

I use baby shampoo and Dr. Bonner's shampoo. I specifically like the peppermint one as it is a natural flea repellent.

Murphy's oil soap.

I use the petsmart puppy shampoo.
it seems to work well I notice that scarlett seems to have a surge of dander after bathing but that clears in a few days. She doesn't seem irritated though

I use hydrapearls shampoo. It hydrates their skin. It also makes dark coats really shiny. My dobe always looked spiffy after a bath.

ditto on the murphy's. We kept various other shampoos (many medicated) for the rescues, but for our personal crew the murphy's always worked.
