"I loved this waterless shampoo. Its nice & foamy, goes on so nice. Was so easy to use, left his coat so soft, even though he has a rough coat. Amazingly it has a soft lavender scent thats not over powering. His coat doesn't have a shine, but the white parts did look cleaner, after i brushed him out...."
