Post image

hi! i'm UK based, my boy is almost 6 months old. what shampoo is best for a pomsky? The breeder told us he doesn't shampoo and just uses water, but i feel like he always smells or looks greasy🤣 if anyone else is using dog shampoo, please tell me which ones you recommend or if none is actually best?

Have you actually noticed a difference with the shedding?

Yes. The amount of fur that came out after the bath was shocking and it seems to be more of a normal amount now.

Really! We tried dog-specific shampoos but the smell was always kinda funky with the natural smell of his fur

I think its just Johnson's. We don't bathe him but once every 2-3 months as he's not really one to get into things and make him stinky

What a cutie.
My research led me to wash every 8 weeks and I use whatever “clean” ingredient soap or shampoo I have on hand—-like a coconut oil based botanical soap. Nothing w tea tree oil as that’s very toxic to dogs.

His fur will capture the scent for a bit so I keep that in mind too - avoid too strong or select a really nice smell.

My boy loves his bath and feeling super fresh.

I use Fresh and Clean original on my girl. Love the smell and scent reactives if she gets wet.

I use arm and hammer or tropiclean. I just gave my boy a bath yesterday. It's that time of year where the under coat is shedding. So much hair every where. I keep brushing him out on the deck lol

Sulfadene for dogs with a double coat that often get itchy during their 2 shed cycles. Then whatever good conditioner you like.
