Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A friend of mine asked me to check this shampoo out for him and give a review. I'm a professional pet groomer so pet shampoo is serious business for me. I really like this shampoo! I bathed several dogs and my cat with it. First thing I noticed was the smell. It's very fruity and while it's not my favorite scent, it is pleasant. Even better is that the smell that stays on the dog after drying is very light even though the smell while lathering up is strong. Speaking of lathering, this stuff gives massive amounts of suds! My issue with a lot of shampoos that I get that aren't professional grade is that they're very dilute. If I'm bathing dogs for a living, I need a shampoo that I can either dilute or can use a small amount of. A little bit of this shampoo goes a loooooong way! This shampoo did a great job getting my dogs and cat clean. I used it on a black lab and the coat was very nice and glossy. I also found that this shampoo did a good job helping me get undercoat out in the tub. The key is to wet the dog and do a light shampooing, rinse that shampoo (you don't have to get it all out) then shampoo the dog again and really work it down to the skin. If you're treating a skin condition, let it sit for at least 5 minutes. The reason for the two shampoos is that the first one breaks the oil the dog or cat naturally has while the second shampoo is able to penetrate the coat more deeply and get to the skin. If you're only shampooing your dog once, you're not getting your dog nearly as clean as you could be. I like the results for my cat as well. She's 16 and has dandruff from not grooming herself as much as she used to. This product cleansed and conditioned her coat without leaving her greasy looking. The smell didn't bother her at all. The rich lather also helped me to release a bunch of coat and the finish was soft and clean. I'll be keeping this shampoo on hand and will be trying it out on any dogs I see with sensitive skin or hot spots. All in all, I think this is a great shampoo and you'll get a lot of uses out of it which makes it quite economical.
