Dog Shampoo

[Taz_Zoee]

I have been meaning to come ask this question here. Then I saw the "how often do you bathe your dog" thread and decided to actually come post my question, finally.

Zoee has the thick, thick coat like most Aussie's do. Twice now after we've bathed her at home she has licked herself raw and got all matted up. Bruce seems to think it's the shampoo we're using. I always have used an oatmeal shampoo on her. And I personally think it was because she didn't get rinsed well enough.

So my question is what is a good shampoo to use on her here at home? I do not know the name of what we used. It was just something I picked up at PetSmart or something.

Bruce bathed them this last time so of course that's why he thinks it's the shampoo now. So I forgot I had some John Paul (Paul Mitchell) dog shampoo I got free from the shelter. It is also Oatmeal and for sensitive skin. I put that out so he can bathe her again with that to see if it is in fact the shampoo. Of course he hasn't done it yet.

I use Hartz "Infusions" on the pups. It's an oatmeal shampoo with aloe micro beads in it. It leaves their fur really soft and silky, and it smells good too. I picked it up at Walmart.

They only get a bath about once a month - in between trips to the groomer. Of course if they get into something stinky outside, then I am forced to give an unscheduled bath - like the time Sparky found a dead frog to roll around on just a couple of days after a trip to the groomer. Brat!!!!!

They're good at that aren't they? Luckily my dogs don't do that. My mom's dog (that I think is a Bichon Poodle mix) does the same thing. And she wears her coat so it has to be washed all the time too.

Thanks for the feedback Ellie!! Unfortunately I refuse to go to Walmart, but maybe I can find it somewhere else.

You should be able to pick it up anywhere that carries pet products.

I have always used johnson's baby shampoo with no problem.

I have been recommended Tropiclean. I've seen it at PSP... dunno about the other spots. A good shampoo actually does make a great difference in your dog's skin and fur.

Anyways, everyone loves it, but I haven't used it yet. I had a cheap shampoo and it made Delta itch. I have to go buy this new one...
