Quick Verdict

Burt's Bees Hypoallergenic Cat Shampoo is generally praised for its gentle formula and effectiveness. However, some users find it thin and requiring more product to lather well. The scent is mild, which is a plus for many, but a few users note it could be better. It is easy to rinse out and leaves cats' coats soft and clean.

"Got this for our sensitive skin kitties. It works great and was easy to use and dispense. Didnt seem to bother their skin or allergies. It rinsed out well and didnt leave any residue and their coats look great!"

— Julia

"Not as much lather and had to use a lot to get a clean cat. He can't clean himself and he has several skin issues, they seem well cured after using this shampoo."
