pavman Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 If one awoke one morning and thought my two labs and Terrier stink I may just bath them this weekend is it really necessary to use a dog shampoo head shoulders and tail type, or will standard home stuff be OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwen3513 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 if it is a once in a blue moon type bath then likely any mild shampoo would suffice, but if you need to bathe them more often better to stick to a doggie shampoo as our will tend to strip the coat of oils, and may irritate the skin. usually a regular dip in a clean lake or the sea is good enough to keep the doggie smells at bay, jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
