Best Shampoo

[tofu pup]

We use #1 All Systems "Super-Cleaning & Conditioning" to do the non-white parts, and White-on-White to do legs and ruffs. The #1 All Systems is just a good all-around shampoo, and there's no reason to use the nice whitening shampoo on the parts of your dog that aren't white. (Really, there's no real reason to use the whitening shampoo at all - the clarifying will get the white parts clean - but it is nice if you want to get them really-really white and sparkly.)

Then, we use Top Performance Baby Powder shampoo to wash their faces. You might consider this one if you're very concerned about sensitivities; it's gentle enough that we use it on puppies, and it's what I use to bathe my pet rats (yes, they get baths too!). It's tear-free, formulated to be extra-gentle, and makes them smell really good!

I am a fan of the Plush Puppy products, particularly the 'Seabreeze Oil'. Although it seems expensive all the Plush Puppy products are concentrates so you dilute yourself with water. The seabreeze oil I use a couple of drops in a bucket of water and sponge my dogs down with a car sponge - it leaves their coats beautiful and they smell nice for ages. And it takes hardly any time to dry them off. I can clean my dogs regularly this way and only give them a full shampoo intermittently. I've saved myself a ton in grooming products since discovering the seabreeze rinse.

Oh, yes! I put a bit in a spray bottle and dilute with water. Makes a great mist for brushing!

Thanks so much, all of you, for these tips! These are great.

Buffy does have a pretty "rough" coat but with BioGroom I think it is pretty silky. I think that the AllSystems and Plush Puppy products sound like the most likely ones, but I might pick up some of the White on White if I get a chance.

Keep the tips coming if anyone still has them.

Look for Chris Christenson product line.He still offers a nice trial size foursome packs for only 10.00.You get shampoo,day to day,ice on ice,and I forgot the other one.But for 10.00,its a great bargain.
My trial pack lasted a long time.And you get to choose which one you want.White on white,black on black etc...
