Depends on how dirty your pet is. I find that it does lather well on the second wash. Not so much on the first.

I think it lathered wonderfully, my Yorkie was also easy to rinse out also! Great shampoo!!

yes it makes a nice flat lather. you won't loose your pet under mountains of foam or have to worry about the lather running into the eyes. the lather does stand in the fur without rubbing. the label recommends letting the shampoo stay on 5 minuets. the clean smell is also long lasting.

It doesn't lather like soap humans are used to. But it does lather and provide the necessary washing a dog should get. Mix it with water and apply to a dry dog to see where the soap has gone.

Hi Valerie. Whether this shampoo will work for your dog depends on why he has an odor. If he has a bacterial or yeast skin infection, perhaps regular use of the shampoo and conditioner will help. But if he has an odor from an anal gland problem or cancer, it may not be the answer. I would try a different vet for a fresh look and opinion. Sorry, I can't be more helpful. The shampoo really does smell wonderful.

The shampoo smells really good. It's not fruity or anything like that it just has a really nice clean slightly perfumed smell that keeps your hair smelling great all day. I always get asked what kind of shampoo I use because my hair is so shiney and smells so clean and nice. :)

hello---this is not a medicated shampoo and probably not the best choice for your condition. Thanks....

I would definitely give it a try! I have tried lots of different high end shampoos and conditioners and I still like this the best...for extra conditioning and smoothing try rinsing out the conditioner for no more than 5 seconds. Good luck

I wouldn't. Too harsh. Better: 1/3 apple cider vinegar, 1/3 fruit-fragranced hand dishwashing soap, and 1/3 water. Much better than any retail dog shampoo.

Ok that shampoo is not that thick. I have very long hair and use about a 50 cent size dollop in my hand. But your hair must really be wet for it so suds up and remember to shake the bottle. The smell is a little clinical but it doesn't bother me as I look for stuff that has no real big fragrance.

The Isle of Dogs Jasmine & Vanilla shampoo & conditioner would probably be good. I ONLY know Yorkie hair, but my baby was getting nappy fur very close to the skin, under the coat. I started using these products & grooming/brushing daily w/ the Isle of Dogs Silky Coating brush spray. It all worked for us & I wont use anything else now! Lather up the conditioner real good & massage it in, then let it sit & soak in for A few mins before rinsing it all off real good. Also we wash, rinse, repeat, w/ the shampoo. Good Luck!

I have not yet tried TOBS's Lavender soap, but when I have tried other brands of soaps. I, however, have always found it harder to get a good lather with soaps. Perhaps it is the brush, or perhaps TOBS makes a much different soap. I will have to try their soap though, and I'll get back to you with an experience rather than just a guess.Blessings.

Since you don't use that much for each shampoo. . Doesn't lather not supposed to .. I still have mine however I use other shampoos in between, in my opinion that works better. Hope this helps..I wasn't happy with no pumper when it arrived as it was supposed to include one. . So I have to squeeze WEN out of the bottle.

I have not used the rinse although perhaps I should. In between baths and only periodically, I have found that Adams 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole skin medication (WalMart) for hot spots along with the Zymox shampoo has been the most successful for my Shetland. At one point, I was treating him with something constantly with the vet's help. The Zymox has been great. Directions call for shampooing directly to wet coat and leaving lather on problem areas for 3 to 5 minutes. The 5 minutes is a little difficult for my dog to stay put. Sorry I can't comment on the rinse.

It sort of smells like medicine. I'm on my second bottle, my husband even switched over to it because he was tired of fighting a dry itchy scalp. He said the problem has ceased since using this shampoo. Despite being expensive and not smelling the greatest, it has proven to be great for the scalp and leaves the hair feeling nice. In a way we are saving money because I'm no longer needing to buy conditioner and/or dandruff shampoo.

Yes it lathers and a little goes a long way and its a sulfate free, gentle lather. Use the Monoi conditioner after shampoo you will be very pleased with results.

We have been using it on our Shitz Tzu's face only but certainly have used it several times between grooming's and have had not problems with it at all. We've been very pleased with the results, his face looks, feels and smells clean, we've not used it daily but only weekly or as needed (his eyes run and get smelly). All I can suggest is trying it daily and see how it goes, if it looks like there's a problem back off to every other day or a couple of times a week. Good Luck

Never thought about it. It worked very well for years on relatives dogs. When my dog started slowingdown I started her on it. It has been amazing. Source of ingrediants? Sorry.

I don't know. My dog is a bichon/poodle mix. I use it after the Earthbath shampoo - squeeze out water after rinsing - then put conditioner in my hands and rub into his hair...I let it sit for awhile and massage him -- he loves it (altho he hates his bath)....then rinse off....towel dry...wrap him in a big hot towel...His reward for putting up with the bath. I brush him before the bath so he really doesn't need much more after that.

I have only used the adult shampoo but if you find out if anyone uses the baby shampoo, I would love to know. While I like t his shampoo, my favorite fragrance is lavender which only comes in the baby shampoo. Sorry I can't be of more help.
