Hartz Groomer's Best Oatmeal Shampoo, 18-Ounce

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

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!

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

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.

After reading reviews for all of the different types of waterless shampoos out there, I figured I'd give this one a shot. It was delivered yesterday and I couldn't wait to get it home to try it out on my 3 mo. old cavapoo puppy. He gets into everything, so his fluffy fur was starting to feel dity and oily. Since he's so young and can't have a lot of baths, this seemed to be a nice alternative. It works exactly as described. It dries quicky with brushing and got rid of that dirty, oily feel and made his fur soft and fluffy again without leaving any sticky residue. I understand what other reviewers said about the smell - it has a light, hint of strawberry scent, but it didn't seem that strong to me. If you are really sensitive to smells, it might bother you, but for most people, it shouldn't be a problem. My only problem is that my puppy kept trying to go after the spray bottle and brush, but that's something we'll just have to work on. I will definitely be ordering again!

Non irritating shampoo that smells great and leaves a beautiful shine on my Newfie girl!

Smells great! Fresh and Clean Scent.

Seems to be a nice shampoo for your pet but as most pet products go bottle of dog shampoo should not cost $10
