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.
