Highlighted Reviews
"We've been using this for our dogs for years. They get a bath about once every other week and it has never dried out their skin. Their hair is shiny, fluffy, and smells nice and clean without strong fragrance."
"Bought this shampoo hoping it would have lasting scent. Washed my dog twice and she smelled like clean wet dog. Once dry she just smelled like dog. Seemed to lather well and cleaned and rinsed well, but zero fragrance at all. I was hoping to find something to replace pride and groom. This is NOT it."
Bottom Line
