Dog shampoo

[Admin]

Ive just used a "self-serve" bath for my dog. Its excellent! Its in Enfield, Middlesex, called MetroDogs. You just put your money in a machine and it supplies you with all of the warm water, shampoo, conditioner and a flea rinse, theres even a hairdryer! My dog loved it and he smells lovely now. I usually bath my lab about once a month

Like a car wash for dogs

Also one in York apparently... http://metrodogs.com.au/locations.php

I have a Wilkinsons own brand of Puppy Shampoo (was not expensive) and its very mild - smells abit like baby shampoo.. and it leaves them with a mild scent and their fur is very soft and shiny after the bath.. I have heard that you are not to bath dogs / puppies too often as it makes their skin dry and itchy.. so I tend to bath mine once every two weeks.. depends how dirty they get! I have been giving my pups Yumega Dog oil in the mornings as thats full of nutrients for their skin.. and apparently prevents them from shedding excessive hair

An animal expert dermatologist told me the best shampoo to use on your dog is Johnsons baby shampoo as it is very mild and wont do their skin any harm.

Having two king charles spaniels who enjoy a run through mud and puddles they do get dirty quite often.

Can anybody recommend a good dog shampoo or what kind would be best?

Also how often should you bath a dog as I've heard so many different stories?

Why not contact your Breed Club and seek advice from members with experience of the breed itself? There will be a much wider pool of breed specific experience for you to draw upon
