what ye guys think is the best line of shampoos for hydro baths

[mijothewonderdog]

I love the Dog Gone by Espree. It is hypo and tear less. It is made for a hydrosurge and works great!!! Smells good too.

I use coat handler, but I dilute it down because its so thick. The clarifier is wonderful!! so is the conditioner.. its low on smell though, but I guess its better for the dogs, less additives

I love Grimeinator! It just cleans so darn well and I really like the smell...kind of citronella-ish. If you follow with a vinegar rinse, it is lighter.

Best shot makes a shampoo specifically for "power bathers" it rocks!

I too have used Coat handler over the years. You mention the Clairifier, I have never seen it listed with the two shampoos they make,one conditioner,skin works< which is great , anti static spray, demat spray, odor remover crystals...do they call it that by name? I have not found it listed. Oh and the lite blue 5-1 shampoo. The lite clean fragrance is a bonus. However, one odd S. F. lady did't like the clean smell. The conditioner is wonderful...but expensive.I guess I need to visit their website.

Nevermind, hairdevil....I found it.

Ok, I looked at the ad for coat handler...you mean the dark blue 15-12 shampoo. I have used it for years and never thought of it as clarifier shampoo. DUH.It is good shampoo....but I am stingy and use my best for deserving regular clients who know and care. Clients who want no fragrance,or dogs that benefit the most. I don't use cheap stuff on any dog....I use a lot of Best Shot and griminator. These too are good products.Coat handler is great for sensitive dogd who scratch with othwer peoducts. It is 18k gold to me, but sterling silver is good for most., or 14k. If you get my analogy.

Best Shot Too....as mentioned above....works really well. It smells great and rinses well.

It has been posted many times over the past few weeks. I got the idea from Helly. You rinse the shampoo off with either premixed dilution, or as I do, just add to the water and continue with the bathing beauty. If you want to premix, I have heard anywhere from 2 tablespoons to 1/4 of apple cider vinegar to 1 gallon of water. I add about 2 tablespoons to 1 or 2+ gallons of my used water while still in tub, you can feel how it cuts the soap and residue with your hands. I drain the tub, then follow by rinsing with fresh water. I started off using more like 1/4 cup, but I tried using less and it works just as well and is faster to rinse off...doesn't take much!
