DH bought some deodorizing shampoo for our dog that smells like a public restroom. I finally had enough and went to the pet store and opened every bottle and sniffed. I decided on Burt's Bees Soothing Skin shampoo which smelled clean but not perfumey.

We washed the dog yesterday. She still smelled doggy when she was wet but when she dried she was soft and smelled clean. Hopefully it will last.

Crazy dog wild cherry shampoo. Our giants have gorgeous shiny coats. Plus it smells good and deodorizes for 6 weeks. We usually bath our guys every 6 or 8 weeks.

I bought this one over the summer because our dog gets some kind of reaction to being on freshly mowed grass. I'm not a huge Martha fan but have to say I will buy this again - a soft, pleasant scent (dislike strong scents immensely) and it did seem to help with his itching. I try to bathe him every 4 - 6 weeks or so. There are other formulations also.

I use fragrance free oatmeal dog shampoo because anything else seems to make my dogs itch like crazy. I like Foster & Smith's. I've used Aveeno Fragrance Free body wash (my soap) in a pinch. And if you want an after or between shampoo coat conditioner or skin soother, this stuff is awesome: Emu Oil. Not greasy and makes their coat soft and shiny.

I use Dr Bonner's liquid soap. You can get it at trader joes, target, or larger grocery stores. It comes in several varieties. It is very mild and really cuts grease and dirt.

Thanks everyone!
iheart - Do you have to order the crazy dog shampoo or can you find it locally?

I found it at both my vet's office and locally owned pet store. Although I know it can be ordered as well. It's about 7 for 12 oz at my local pet store. Online I think it's cheaper but I like supporting the local establishment. The cherry scent fades and becomes a great deodorizing shampoo afte the first 2 days. However if cherry ist your thing they have a nice rainforest scent as well as a piña colada.

Beautiful dog!!

I also use an oatmeal shampoo because my pup gets dry skin at times. It has a mild fragrance. She is groomed every 4 weeks and we take her shampoo with her. I don't let the groomer use fragrance products on her. I also have a conditioner in the same line. I'm not home and would have to look to remember the brand.
