beachdogz Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Anyone have any recommendations or favorites for a dog shampoo just for general bathing? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgirl Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Having had one dog who was prone to a bad reaction to shampoos, I have always erred on the side of caution and gone for an oatmeal shampoo, generally Dermcare Aloveen. Poor Oscar went to the groomer once and came out in hives and scabs all over his back. Poor thing was miserable for about a week. Not something I am prepared to put another dog through.

Luckily, I shampoo my dogs infrequently. Usually only a spot shampoo over a dirty area - such as when they roll in poo. If there are no chronic problems to address (itchy skin, etc), I would look for a dog shampoo that uses primarily natural ingredients. I have one from a local person who makes and sells goat milk soap. She makes it for her own dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 I've found the Tropic Clean to be a nice brand. Since mine only get a true bath maybe once a year, it last forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Elle Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 I swear by Double K brand "Ultimate All Natural". It does the job well, and can be diluted as much as 32 to one although I usually only dilute it only 4 or 8 to one. The bottle lasts a very long time, so it's more economical by far than cheap shampoos. I have used it on all the dogs that have been in my home for years. You can get it a lot of places online. https://groomersmart.com/product/double-k-ultimate/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, everyone's nose is different. It does a nice job, but that fragrance really bothers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrecar Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’ve never found a reason yet to switch from Mane N Tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
