"Gentle shampoo. Lathers and rinses well. Tearless. Even if I sometimes need to use another shampoo (for allergies or hot spots), I still use the tearless shampoo on their faces."

β€” Danielle

"We got this for my puppy! Tried it once, shook it up like it says but it’s super watery. No kind of smell. Washed our puppy and added more bc it was not lathering. At the end, rinsed off and he smells just like a wet dog!!!! NOT HAPPY I WASTED MY MONEY. Better off washing the puppy in a little Daw..."
