Dog shampoo  

I use a mix of baking soda and water. About a teaspoon of baking soda in a pitcher of water to wash mine down. Hes lng haired and it pulls the crud off him well. Dosent dry out his skin or anything. Just rince well and hes good to go. Plus is a "food" so if he ingests it its allright for him. Rather then a soap that can be poisionous if he licks it. So we feel more comfortable washing him down with the bakings soda in water. It disolves well when stired in warm water.

Believe it or not but I use Dial Body Wash to bathe my dogs. It kills any bateria that may be on them and it makes them smell sooooo good! They do well with it too. I buy it at Walmart.

I used Hartz Puppy Shampoo for my toy poodle(even though she's not a puppy). I like it because it is tearless(like baby shampoo) and it keeps her coat feeling very soft and has a pleasant smell. I never use people products on my dog becuase of the different PH balance between people and animals.

I use a very gentle, natural, watered down shower gel to wash my dogs. (Tramp from Lush) it has a subtle smell, so doesn't bother them, and it doesn't have all the chemicals that seem to be in most commercial dog shampoos. it's also particularly good for sensitive skin, and leaves my black lurcher extremely shiny.

Baby shampoo! I use tear free, detangling baby shampoo. It's more concentrated than dog shampoo and rinses much faster! Probably cheaper too!

I use either our shampoo. Or I buy walmart dog shampoo with oatmeal in it. But I am gonna have to give that baking soda thing a try sounds interesting.

Hi:

I don't have a dog so I have no favorite shampoo.

If your dog is going to be in wooded areas it should be an unscented one. Scents attract may bugs and animals.

I would ask your Vet what to do.

I just use people shampoo that I like the smell of.
