I use Biogroom protein lanolin. But they only get bathed about twice a year. They don't need it any more often than that.

We use Tropi Clean Papaya Plus for regularly scheduled baths, but if Woofie gets super dirty we'll use Eqyss Micro-Tek.

I use the bath wipes for in between real bathing if Leo gets dirty. For the actual bath, I use Ivory Dish soap. Its so gentle. Lots of Groomers use it also. He always smells so good and has never had a problem.

I only use Oatmeal shampoo, specifically Imrex brand. Not sure if you can get it in the states, though, it's a small canadian company.

And my dogs get bathed at least once a month. More if I had a working shower. Or hot water for that matter!!!!

I use JB Wholesale Pet Supply's Golden Almond. It is a 16:1 dilution and I usually dilute it even more than that so it is inexpensive (I also get the gallon size). My guys play hard in my dirt backyard AND show frequently so we have a lot of baths at my house! LOL Another one (each!) tomorrow for the Octoberfest demo in Oregon on Saturday...

I think we've over bathed our boy. He's 12 months and had probably 15 baths. Please advise!!! We do give him fish oil caps and mix a little olive oil in his dry food. We do one or the other on a daily basis. Are we still drying his skin????

Overbathing will definitely dry out the skin. Of course dandruff then leads one to want to bathe again, which makes the dandruff worse, which....
I also use an Oatmeal shampoo, various brands. They get bathed every couple months or whenever they stink or are too filthy to come in the house

I like to use Tropiclean, teatree oil and oatmeal shampoo, it works well....Also I use Episoothe from the vet, its a good moisturizing shampoo.......But I have found that they work even better when you work in the shampoo with a zoomgroom brush.
