Hartz Groomers Best 3 in 1 Conditioning Shampoo for Dogs 18 oz

I've used this on my adult dog for over two years because I wanted a mild shampoo. When I used to work at a dog groomers we always added water to the shampoos so they wouldn't be too soapy or produce too much lather--otherwise it can irritate the dog's skin and eyes, and also be difficult to wash out completely. So if you are looking for a high-sudzing dog shampoo (which I would never recommend using on a dog of any age) this one ain't it. As another reviewer noted, start by washing the dog's body first. When you get to its face, USE A WASHCLOTH. Don't just pour shampoo on it's head. Be careful not to get soap or water in the dog's ears. Be sure to wash off ALL the soap--run your hand over his head, ears, neck--rub it and see if it feels even a little soapy. If it does, keep rinsing. But my experience with this shampoo is that it rinses out very easily. Anyone that is getting 'residue' isn't getting the soap out. And if the dog still feels dirty, well just wash him some more! And the scent? It's lovely! Not too strong and smells very clean. Make dog baths an event, something that you and your dog come to enjoy. Ours used to wriggle and fight, but now he loves it. Use tepid to slightly warm water; not cold or scalding. Go gentle until your dog learns to trust you with this operation and so he learns that it doesn't hurt. We didn't yell at our dog or yank him around when he wouldn't behave or tried to get out of the tub; we talked soothing and tried to put him at ease. Now we laugh and have a good time. When he's done, he loves the towel rub down. And when that's done, he tears around the house like a crazy dog. I can only imagine it's from shear enjoyment of being clean!

This puppy shampoo is awesome for dogs that need bathing more than usual. Our dog has awful allergies. We have to bathe her once a week with a medicated shampoo. But sometimes its as though an allergen has gotten into her fur and she will constantly rub up aganist furniture for relief. We bought this shampoo to use on days like this to get whatever out of her fur and off skin. She always feels so much better and stays off the furniture. Its very gentle, does not dry out her skin, leaves her soft, smelling good and happy. She is 3 years old by the way. Only thing I dont like is the shampoo is thin and pours out extremely fast if not careful. Ive mad a few messes and wasted product because of this. Just have to try and remember to slow down. Despite being thin it does lather well.

This shampoo is amazing. My dog’s coat is so much brighter and he smells great.

I bought this shampoo to use on my two puppies and am satisfied with it, but don't love it. I liked that the bottle was large, and seemingly a good value. However, the shampoo is very thin and it is impossible to control how much comes out, so I end up using way more than I actually need to. Despite being thin, the shampoo does lather very well. My dogs both have short hair and it is easy to work through. This is a huge plus, because my dogs are wiggly during baths and the quicker I can lather, rinse and end the misery, the better! I'm not sure it it would be as easy and lather as well on long haired dogs. It washes off quickly and easily as well and left no residue on my dogs. The shampoo has a light lavender scent that lingers after it is rinsed out. It is very nice to have my dogs smelling fresh and clean for a few days! The shampoo is formulated to be gentle on puppies and seems to be. So, far it has not irritated their skin. I've noticed no itching after using it. Overall, I would recommend this shampoo if you need a gentle dog shampoo to make bath time easier.

Use on my Cavalier monthly. Lathers well and smells good. Only drawback is that it is really runny.

Good

Smells good, works well, does make dog smell clean and look clean

Meh - it's cheap and I was checking a box on my new puppy shopping list. Probably won't buy again. We only bathe our dog every other month or so or when she's really dirty from the dog park, and when we do I'd prefer to use something a little more high quality. This makes her coat seem a little dry, and although it smells fine, there are higher quality shampoos that really smell awesome. So yeah, you get what you pay for. I'd say this met my expectations, but I won't be repurchasing.

Nice shampoo for my shih tzu. Smells great and good to her coat

Es todo lo que promete, el pelo de mis perros queda suave, fácil de peinar, con brillo y huele bien.

Good Shampoo

Used this on a 5lbs papillon. My spouse describes the smell like a sweet milk sort of scent. We both liked it. This is what the breeder provided to us when we bought the pup and she was one of those very meticulous breeders who researches every product that touches her dogs. Bought it due to the scent & cost, & would recommend this shampoo based on these two qualities. I was previously using baby shampoo but it smelled strange on a dog, and this dog shampoo is nearly the same cost as baby shampoo anyway. As for the whitening... well, my spouse says he thinks it does bring out the whiteness in a dog, regardless of how dirty he was. I didn't see a big difference in whiteness, I felt like it really depends how dirty the dog is to begin with. But, he did appear very white after the bath. Note: this shampoo isn't very bubbly (doesn't really make suds) but just because it doesn't make suds doesn't mean the dog isn't getting cleaner. I will be buying this shampoo from now on.

Great!
