    I use Nature's Specialties. The only thing I don't like is the price.

    Fresh 'N Clean Original shampoo for dogs. I have used this for most of Casey's 13 years and she always smells so good afterwards.

    If you end up with any dogs with skin problems I highly recommend
    Virbac Etiderm shampoo. Koko had severe dry skin and scab scaling on her back and underarms. We took her to the Auburn University School of Veterinary Medicine for evaluation. They put her on this shampoo and all of her skin issues are gone. They said for her we should not use anything else. I end up bathing her about once a week and it leaves her coat nice and shiny. It doesn't have the fragrance of some the the shampoos already mentioned but it sure has helped with Koko's skin issues. Price wise it can be found very reasonably on the net.

    I love Nature's Specialties! The owner of the grooming shop I used to work in used it, and that's how I learned about it. I have used it almost exclusively ever since.

    I use NS for all dog shows, and even use Quicker Slicker as a finishing spray before I go in the ring.

    Conversely to what others have said, I think the price is more than fair. I usually pay about $25 for a 16 oz. bottle of Plum Silky, but that dilutes into two full gallons, so I can't complain! Even diluted that far, its cleaning power is far superior to other shampoos I have used.

    The bluing shampoo works amazingly well (again, I use it for dog shows, so I think that says a lot!), and does not dry the skin like many bluing shampoos can. And the Quicker Slicker is a fantastic detangler and static preventor.

    I use the doggy wash in town for the big dogs, i don't know what shampoo they use but the dogs are always so clean and smell so good afterwards.

    For Henry I use some whitening shampoo..i like it alright but will probably switch to something else once it's all gone

    If I do use a dog shampoo then I use Bark2Basics. I will only use coat handler conditioner though, nothing else.

    Out of curiosity...where are you ordering your supplies from? I'm somewhat looking for a different place to get my stuff.


    *Thanks Ashley*
