The BEST dog shampoo ever

by

We all like our four-legged friends to be clean and fresh, no?

I mean, they cuddle with us and sleep in our beds but they also run through the dirt and lick themselves and in the case of my darling miniature pinscher, Hines, have the tendency to pee into the wind. Enough said.

mrs-meyers-dog-wash.jpgI typically bathe Hines about once a week, usually after he comes home from his one disposable-income-well-spent day at the local doggie daycare. I fill the tub with about six inches of warm water, lift him and use a plastic cup to spill water all over him, carefully avoiding his ears and face, both of which I wash with a warm washcloth. I pour a palmful of Mrs. Meyer’s Pet Clean Day Oatmeal Pet Shampoointo my hand and soap him top to bottom. I spill cups of water over his back and the soap washes off very quickly leaving no oily suds, just a fresh not-overpowering scent.

I stumbled across Mrs. Meyer’s products a few years ago when I was on an earth-friendly/no-harsh chemicals in MY home kick. At the present time I vacillate very uncommitted to any products that don’t guarantee me that they will kill salmonella and E.coli without damaging the earth or my body. It’s a toss up some days.

I digress. Mrs. Meyer’s products all smell fantastic. They don’t make your home smell like toxic waste, but they are gentle, nonabrasive and safe for pets too.

I don’t have experience using this dog shampoo on long haired dog, but if anyone out there does, please let me know.
