I use regular Suave on my dogs after they get a flea bath, takes the doggy shampoo smell out and makes them all shiny and smell good!!!

I've used Pantien Pro V on my border collie, that stuff is excellent for long haired dogs!!

I thought you are supposed to use dog shampoo because of the differences between dog fur and skin versus human hair and skin?

i use any kind of shampoo thats for puppies and kittens [its less harsh on dogs skin] and i use 'troy pet gloss' conditioner. it has a great smell to it, has antibacterial properties and makes my dogs coat real soft and shiny. i wouldnt use human shampoo etc on a dog, especially pantene. i wouldnt put that stuff on a rat.

I have always heard human shampoo is not good for dogs coats. But I use a oatmeal shampoo for mine, not sure of the name but I got if from the pet store. I use regualar flea/tick shampoo then the oatmeal shampoo. It helps with the wet dog smell.

I've tried alot of different shampoos and my dogs skin has never had any reaction to any of the humand shampoo. I think that there are alot of pet stores just out to make a buck. Mine never have skin issues with these shampoos.

Cool, I may try that. I was always afraid too, but it seems alot of people here use regular shampoo. Thanks for the advice!

Merry Christmas All!

I use the Oatmeal shampoo for Shug because I bath her a lot (really only once a week)and she had itchy skin for a while. You can buy the SAME shampoo at Walmart or Fred's for Dogs that you find at Petsmart for about half the price. I know it's a racket.....but I want her to have the best. We have a lot of trouble with MATS, so I have been using my own conditioner on her. I spritz her with it to comb out, but it does take the SHINE out. I'd like for her coat to be SHINY.
