What’s a good, inexpensive dog shampoo?
I’m getting a dog from a local shelter next month. I’m extremely picky about a lot of dog related things such as diet, exercise, and training, however I’ve never really looked into dog grooming supplies. My city has some national pet supply chains (Petco & PetsMart) as well as the regular Target, Wal*Mart number, so there are quite a few options when it comes to shampoo, etc. Since I’m so particular on a dog’s diet, I’m hoping to cut some of the pet supply cost by trying to find a mid to low priced, good dog shampoo. I’m looking for something that doesn’t have a lot of smell added to it (I don’t like the idea of using perfumes on my dog) but I don’t nessasarily want to buy the cheapest stuff I can find. Any help?
don’t buy dog shampoo!! get Baby Shampoo!! I use it and won’t use anything else… Its cheaper and works well without drying the skin, dont shampoo more than once a week or even every other week at the most…. its also safe for the eyes..smile… accidents do happen….
here are some testimonials:
I have been using Johnson & Johnson’s baby shampoo for my dogs, yes my dogs. It is extremely gentle on their skin, and as they areprone to allergies, I use one or two capfuls per dog once a month, to keep their hair/fur silky and their skin moist. It doesn’t bother them like most dog shampoos. My local vet recommended this for all dogs, dry skin or normal skin. I use it myself (I am 30 years old) every now and again if I forget to stock up on regular adult shampoo and my hair feels great!
Although the Johnson & Johnson brand shampoo is a bit more expensive than the store brand, I trust their products as my mom used them on me many many years ago. And when I do have kids, I will use it on them.
1) If you have adults, kids, babies and dogs (not so sure about cats and other animals) that are prone to allergies or dry skin, this shampoo is marvelous to use and will not cause (most cases) any allergic reaction as the ingredients are extremely gentle on the skin. I highly recommend this product for your shampooing needs in your family.

2) Hello
I have been told by my vet that I can use a mild baby shampoo to was my dog
instead of using commercial brands.
I tried it today and it was amazing how soft and shiny his coat has become.
Go on give it a try and you will be amazed…

3) I found this board looking for help with dry skin on the dog. We were using the oatmeal shampoo and it was making it worse. So I tried the baby shampoo and prefer it. Before, Dory would itch for days after her bath, now with the baby shampoo, she might scratch a couple of times.
I also changed her diet, and I really think that that made the biggest difference.

4) I am glad that there is someone out there who is also using baby shampoo to bath their dogs.I am using the normal one without any strawberry smell.My dogs are all looking fluffy and cuddly.

I could post alot more but I am sure you get the picture.. dont waste your $$ on “Dog shampoo” which usually has alot of stuff added to it that is really not necessary…good luck..smile
EDIT: I have heard (like the Queen stated) that Mane and Tail works great to( I think I saw it at Walmart or maybe Walgreens????), but I still prefer Johnsons and Johnsons as I am not always great about the eyes and I know its harmless when it gets in the eyes….lol…smile
