What do you use for shampoo?

[BratBoxers]

A lady at a dog show recommended to me to use woolite:eek: sounds weird but that is what she uses on on all her show dogs(Boxers). I have to add that all were just awesome and such a soft shiny coat. So what do you think about that? and what do you use on your dogs?

[murphydog]

never heard of this shampoo i use a shampoo called neutrale,it has no added ingrediants like colourents or perfumes,it has a low ph value and puts a great shine on your dog also you dont need to use alot of it,i buy mine from a vets but its made a LEO ANIMAL HEALTH,most of your dog breeders use very good shampoos but sometimes you can only find them if you go to big dog shows, hope this helps

[Zoes_mama]

I use Smart Groom by Wahl - Super Whitening Shampoo. It smells sooooooo good and really does a lot of good for Zoe's fur. I bought a 375mL bottle when I first rescued Zoe and I still have some left. Think I'll stick to it :D My sis uses baby shampoo for Bear, and that works well.

[Becky]

I personally would not use woolite on my dog... it's laundry detergent so isn't made to be used on skin.


I use Cloud Nine. I think it smells wonderful (like ceder and mint) as well; the smell is also light, lasts a while, and isn't powerful... just a touch of scent.

[MrsRottie]

I use either tea tree oil shampoo (helps with fleas) or baby shampoo. Nothing fancy or expensive, just the cheap stuff from the supermarket.

[mysterydog1]

WOAH! NEVER USE LAUNDRY STUFF ON A DOG! Tell the lady that. there is a coat shiner shampoo for dog, any nice shampoo for dogs......for dogs, not enev people shampoo. sorry, that scared me.....LAUNDRY DETERGENT! WHAT WAS THAT LADY THINKING! watch the dogs come down with some never-heard-of skin disease!

I hear that baby shampoo is made out of some bad stuff, all baby shampoo's and tear-free hair products. just use a good brand all purpose dog shampoo:D

[sheltieluver4]

Yeah I use a cheap brand but I love the way it leaves Snickers and Oreo looking, it also helps with fleas and ticks..... lets see the name is called

Sergeants skip flea and tick shampoo with oatmeal.... it's a pretty cheap brand that really works on my shelties, you can purchase it at wal-mart:D

[cartoonrckr]

Yeah I'm not too picky with my shampoos. As long as it's made for dogs, smells good, and isn't too expensive, I'll get it. I get Top Paw Natural Oatmeal shampoo; the oatmeal is great as a moisturizer. At least, I think so. :) Dogs shouldn't be bathed very often under normal conditions anyway, so I don't see the reason in being too picky about the shampoo. Great fur and skin is mostly from the diet anyway. Shampoo just removes the dirt (under normal circumstances of course).

[lassie]

i use a good quality tea tree oil shampoo for normal baths

[skunkstripe]

Natural Oatmeal here. Unless of course "Stinky" tried to chase a skunk again, then it is the skunk smell remover shampoo.
Stay AWAY from Harz Flea and Tick!

[Borzoi mad]

Its Wahls Whitening for me as I have a long coated breed. I have a friend who is a vet and he once told me never to use Human Shampoo Baby or otherwise on a dog alway go for dog shampoo.

[retriever crazy]

we bought this $10 shampoo from petsmart thats made for dark coated dogs and that worked really nice. and it was 2in1 . lol i even tried it once! but it really dried my hair out. it almost felt like hay after i used it once

[Jake2006]

Just bought this for Jake he's had one bath with it. He swims at the water park most days and his coat is getting better - his bald patches are growing in.

Make sure that whatever you use doesn't wash off your flea stuff. I use Advantage on my dogs, so the shampoo has to be detergent free. I'm not sure how it gets them clean without soap, but they look, feel, and smell pretty good after a bath, so it must work. Anybody know how detergent free shampoo works?

[pittiegirl]

Nu Sal-T or Nova Pearls, Oxy Med cream rinse

I use these and they are exceptional for dry, itchy skin.

[mysterydog1]

yeah but how much is it? porlly lots just by the sound of the name. i use bio-groom anti-itch oatmeal. it is really good.

Yes but thats why I take my dogs a bath 1st and then put on the flea medicine, heheheehhehehe

[bryony]

[iainminty]

hey there dog lovers, i personaly wouldnt go out my way to buy excpensive dog shampoo, i prefer baby shampoo to it, as i find it does the job and more

[Cheetah]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE tea tree oil shampoo! It's so wonderful for the dog's skin and coat, and helps keep the insects at bay. I always go out looking for the stuff that doesn't have colorings and crap added in (I got this one pink conditioner for them once, and it turned my bath tub PINK!! >X.x;<

As far as not washing off flea treatment - When we were in FL, I had to use Advantix on Eevee. But since I only bathed her once a month, I would just wait until it was time to treat her again, bathe her that night, and then wake up and put on the flea drops. Worked for me lol.

For the record, Advantage flea treatment is NOT waterproof. I used to help sell it. Frontline is though. Unfortunately that didn't work for us in the area of FL we were in. >@_@<

[Ishie]

I use a shampoo for sensitive skin on Arch.
It's by Dr. Harry and has heaps of oatmeal in it.
:)

[milenia]

when we first got Jack his fur wasn't in really good shape as it had only recently grown back, when he raced he was kept on cold hard flooring and ended up with no fur on his back end as well as a bad leg injury and tail injury when he came into dogstrust, he had bad flakey skin which isn't as bad now as it was as we have bathed him but i noticed it returned quite badly as we went to bath him a few weeks back i used some medicated Dog shampoo this time which seems to have helped, first time round i used a dog flea shampoo of the same brand as the medicated one but should it return again i will try a mild baby shampoo and see how that goes but fingers crossed it goes now.

does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get rid of bad dandruff?

Bye

[kw_5kids]

I use tea tree shampoo too. I also my tea tree oil w/my kids shampoo not only good for fleas but keep lice away too :D I haven't had any problems since YAY

[golden-lover]

I use Johnsons baby shampoo since I can clean all the pets excluding the birds with it, and the fact that our dogs have extremely sensitive skin.

[vagreys]

...does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get rid of bad dandruff?

When hounds come in from the track with bad dandruff, we just start them on 1000mg fish oil capsules (one capsule, daily), and it usually improves within two weeks. Remember, too, that black dogs show dandruff worst of all, and IIRC, Jack is black.

Dandruff can sometimes be an indication of a food allergy or intolerance, too, so that's something to consider.

I wouldn't use Woolite on a dog. Woolite was designed for processed wool fibers, and while it is gentle with most fabrics, it isn't designed for a dog's skin.

We use the Adams line of dog shampoos on our Greys, and it seems to do really well with their skin.

weird the vet I called told me to use baby shcampoo on the pit.. I didnt though I bought a good neutral schampoo for doggies til I know better what he needs.

The vet should know the the pH levels in dogs is very different from that of humans. I guess baby shampoo would be better than regular human shampoo but I can't say that I think your vet gave you good advice on this one.:(
