Highlighted Reviews
"We love this shampoo, it’s all We’ve ever used on our little Ash. Leaves his beautiful long gray coat shiny and clean."
"There's absolutely no lather, no smell. Makes my dog more itchy. This is not a good product for bigger dogs. I got it to help soothe my dogs itchiness but its worse when I wash my boy with it. We will be steering clear of any burts bees products from now on."
Bottom Line
If your dog has sensitive skin or allergies, this shampoo is worth a try. Just be aware that it may not provide the lather you're used to and might not be suitable for all dog breeds or coat types.
