β€” Star

"Definitely give this a try if you’re looking for a great gentle waterless shampoo."

β€” Erin

"I would not want to put it on their neck area or anywhere close to their face because it was so strong."

Bottom Line

If the scent is a priority, and users are willing to risk the fur drying, then this is for them with a small majority recommended.
