Common Questions
Does this shampoo paint a strong fragrance for consumer and/or pets?
According to reviews included in this study, yes
Will this shampoo make the pet smell fresher and sweeter?
According to reviews included in this study, yes
I expect a product that may be a bit stinky after applying, is this possible with no rinse bath?
Yes. No rinse shampoo formulas traditionally don't nix all smells and scents- specifically the ones hiding in hair that would normally be removed with thorough mechanistic scrubbing action of a shower and bath formula (AGAIN, this product says “no rinse” so don’t assume thorough cleaning.)
Is this shampoo good for very dirty and smelling pets?
When pet owners have given it a try no. Better to do this with another product
Highlighted Reviews
"This shampoo is great. Our 'farm dog' runs our 10 acres and sometimes rolls in yucky stuff, not allowed in house until I can quickly use this shampoo & wet rag to clean her up a bit."
"I needed a no rinse dog shampoo. The one I used for years is not available at this time. From the description, it sounded like it would do the job I needed for my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I had to use a lot to 'clean' her and it did not really do a good job"
Bottom Line
This shampoo is a good choice for quick freshening and odor control, but pet owners needing a deep clean may want to consider additional grooming products. It's received a good average rating but owner's expect more from it in terms of the cleanliness of the pet.
