I am not a fan of most Walmart shampoos and I avoid Hartz as well. I know other shampoos are a bit spendier, but dogs only need baths every 3-8wks, and even my big dogs only need a couple tablespoons or so to do the job, so it’s not adding much extra to the monthly splurge.

I’ve used a horse shampoo once on my dogs (that Mane n Tail. Bought it for myself. Hated it. So now it’s getting used up on the dogs, cow, and pony). I’ve never thought of using essential oil human shampoos – I believe we have that brand even! I’ll look into that for sure!

You guys are so evil lol! Look at all these shampoos I’m gonna have to try! I think my dogs will be dead before I get a chance to try em all, and they sound so great XD

So, what is it about most human shampoos that’s “bad” for dogs? I’ve read all over to avoid them. Is it just because the cheaper ones with sulfates are too harsh on the skin, but sulfate-free ones would be okay?

Ah yes, climate is a huge clencher. We are on the humid Oregon coast. The average year-round is 58* with an overcast. Gets a bit wetter during spring/fall, really gross during winter, and maybe a bit warmer in summer with a chance of seeing that sun!
