"Worked great, help My dog with dry itchy skin. My dogs fur is so soft."

— Caitlin

"I'm not sure why people loved this. Sure this smells good (in the bottle) an while you are shampooing but the scent did not last. They didn't smell clean or like strawberry smoothie. I'll be sticking to my normal lavender shampoo from now on."
