Guest Anonymous Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 Just curious as to what pet shampoo everyone uses. I use Petsilk products which is an all natural product line (can be found at dog shows, Dogs Outfitters and NESerum). Has anyone else tried this line? My breeder uses Oster? What does everyone else use? Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 Ooooooooooohhhhhhhh PetSilk is one of my favorites! Nothing else in the world smells so good. I love the whole line of PetSilk products including the shampoos, conditioners and colognes. It's not the ONLY brand I buy, but definitely high among my list of favorites. I also like the Nature's Specialties line and for whitening light colored coats, nothing I've found works better than #1 All Systems. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 Colognes?..... They have Colognes? :D Does it smell just like the shampoo? Where do you get it from, I want some :D :D :D !!! BTW, have you tried the Pure Silk oil? ....Love that one, too :lol: ! Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 I love tea tree oil dog shampoo i do not mind whose make it is. natural :) Quote
bk_blue Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 I used Pantene shampoo and conditioner the last time I washed BK but since I have found out they test on animals will not be buying it :evil: Prior to this we used Velvet soap on our Basset and Cocker!!! And an anti-flea type thing when they had fleas in summer. As BK only needs a wash twice a year at the most, what would you recommend? Do dog shampoos have an expiry date? He does not get fleas and obviously has a short coat that doesn't stink and thankfully is easy to brush mud out of! Or could I go on using human shampoo, as he does not react to it? I don't have a problem with buying him doggy shampoo but if my shampoo works then I needn't bother :-? thanks guys. Quote
corgilady Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 They test on animals? A shampoo company? Does that mean they try out their shampoos on dogs????? I bought a thingie that is supposed to fasten on your water hose, it has flea shampoo in it. Every time I hook it up and turn on the hose, it blows right off. Useless! I like Oster. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 I wash Jac maybe every 4 months... When he goes and gets wet I just get a towel and dry him off then brush really well... The dryer sheet smell comes off on him and he smells good!! If I put cologne on him he would find the biggest pile of poop and roll in it. :-? He likes to smell like dog!! 8) HAHAHA He would prefer not to smell like dryer sheet but we compromise... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 I'm not sure what brand we are using right now. We've used all different types, oatmeal, puppy, brightening, and now ODOR remover. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 I use harsh coat shampoo from two different companies and Scratchex by sulfodene I HATE all the ones with perfume in them as they make me sneeze non stop tea tree oil I find as noxious as poison ivy Best way to keep dogs clean is to really brush them every day!

bk_blue Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Procter and Gamble (who make Pantene, Clearasil, Cover Girl and other products) test on animals. So do Unilever, Clairol, and Johnson and Johnson. L'Oreal test their *ingredients* on animals, as if that entitles them to a higher moral plane!! [url]http://www.allforanimals.com/cruel1.htm[/url] has a more substantial list. :evil: :evil: :evil: Quote
Aroura Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Thats bad, will I do without Pantine??? Might go back to Schwartzcoff (no idea how to spell it...) Well, when Lily was a pup she had dandruff so I bought her this $20 a bottle shampoo and conditioner (the bottles are only 227mLs!) but they were half price :wink: Anyway, they have oatmeal in them, the shampoo in called Allergroom and the conditioner is Epi-Sooth. They smell really yummy, good enough to eat! Although I havn't done the taste test yet... Tessa just uses whatevers around. I havn't tried it yet, but apparently Wool Wash is one of the best things to use, its a natural flea repellant, smells nice and doesn't strip the coat - nor does it cost $20 for a tiney bottle! Quote
bk_blue Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Schwarzkopf are owned by Wella- and they are safe! :D (oh, but Pantene is soooo nice on my hair, I hear you say... :wink: ) My stepmum used to use Wool Mix on Rinny! It worked very well on him, got rid of all the loose hair, smelled nice and was something we had in the cupboard anyway ;) So you think it is ok to stick to people shampoo? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 hey, just thought i'd put in my two cents too :) i use mane and tail shampoo and conditioner on my dogs, they come out very clean, soft, and not too dried out. i use it on my hair too.......it is very gentle, it smells fresh but not disgustingly prissy or strong. i have not had a single flea or tick on either of my dogs since i started using frontline on them. i have found that you don't really need to put it on every month on the dot like they tell you to, i usually go about a month and a half with no problem. you can get mane and tail shampoo at wal mart, it's $6-7 for a sizeable container and i always dilute it by half with water so it is easier to apply and lasts a lot longer. it was (surprise) originally used for horses and the directions on the back have sections for horses and people... bk, what kind of a mix is your beautiful dog ? something about him reminds me of my pointer-dobie mix......

bk_blue Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Thanks Marble, I had better not tell him that, his ego is big enough :D He is a blue heeler mix, maybe with smooth haired border collie. I may be wrong but I think he has a touch of dalmatian in him (same size), and some bull terrier or similar that's given him his big wide jaw- but I will never know for sure! Quote
Aroura Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Bk, you heard me loud and clear! Schwarzkopf it is then :-? Can't help you with the human shampoo though, I hear alot of people say its not balanced for the ph of a dogs skin etc etc etc but if he's not having any skin problems and you rinse him well I can't see any harm in it Quote
bk_blue Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 Aroura, that's what I thought. He only gets bathed twice a year, but I am not against buying him dog shampoo if needs be. He is the toughest dog physically that I know- touch wood *taps head with fingers* :lol: Quote
Aroura Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 LOL, does that mean we can call you woody then? In that case I name myself Mushy, as my head feels like nothing but mush today! :-? Quote
