Muddy Buddy is starting to smell really bad!

I've used what was left of the shampoo the breeder gave me when we got him - so the brand escapes me.

Is their any particular type of dog shampoo I should by or are they all much a muchness!?!?

Thanks in advance.

Otto has quite a sensitive skin, but we just use mild shampoo from Pets at Home...key is to not use masses of it and rinse thoroughly.

I probably bath him more than I should but he's in and out of mud and water so much, when I can't bear the smell, he's in the bath.

He's sometimes a bit flaky the day after, but I give him a good brush and he also gets his Evening Primrose oil so have few problems with his skin (well apart from the fact he has cuts on a regular basis)

Thanks folks.

You can never be too careful...

I used to use Tesco's own brand which retailed at 99p for a gallon whereas Debra uses some 'moisture infuser' with a 'reconstructor' that apparently "restores the manageability and shine" which costs something like £14 for each 75ml bottle.

Perhaps that's why I have now have no hair Confused

Anyhoo... If Tesco's brand was good enough for me it is good enough for The Budster - he's as shiny as a new pin and smells brand new again.

Off to take him out for a walk to get him all dirty again...

Dave, isn't that only suitable for Old English Sheep Dogs?
I used white dog shampoos for our white Beagle, but Boots baby shampoo for the others. The Great Danes go to the groomer.

you may have a point there.... you can get a tray and a roller, so you can either let your small dogs roll around in the tray or roller it on... quite good i hear
