What brand of Dog Shampoo do you buy?

Hi! I am doing a project for school, in which I need to poll some people on a product that they buy - and I would like to know about dog shampoo. Please answer the following questions about dog shampoo:





1) Why did you need to buy dog shampoo?


2) What were your choices?


3) Why did you choose to buy the brand that you did?


4) Where did you choose to buy your shampoo? Why?


5)How did you feel about your purchase after you bought it?


6) Would you buy it again? Why or why not?


7) Do you have a family or just you and your dog? (This question is to see if people make different decisions based on family size)





I would really appreciate your answers, my family and I live in a very secluded area, and getting the answers for my paper is very difficult. Thank you very much in advance for your answers!!What brand of Dog Shampoo do you buy?
I have several dogs with VERY long hair





I used to use Mr Australia, but recently switched to Fructis, as the former is hard to find.





I learned that human shampoo is fine, and Fructis makes them easier to brush, and shiny.





I buy it at the drug store,as it is close to home.





I loved the results





I will certainly buy it again, as it did such a nice job, and for a reasonable price.





Spouse, and several dogs.





NOTE:


This is a quote from Mike Richards, DVM%26gt;


I saw a study once, which I couldn't find to supply the reference for,


which was a review of the ingredients of various pet and people shampoos,


as well as a test of factors like pH and eye irritation. In the study, the


authors could find no significant differences between pet shampoos and


people shampoos. So I tell my clients to use whatever they like, or have on


hand.





I am sure that some shampoos work better on any particular dog than others


but that the brands that work well for that one dog may not be the best for


another dog. %26lt;%26lt;http://www.vetinfo4dogs.com/dhair.html#S鈥?/a>


I did further study and did learn that dog shampoo-vs-people shampoo is just a huge marketing hype, that we have fallen for for many years, and is making the marketers rich..It is just like listening to the dog food commercials, and excepting THEIR word for it as being the best..I have had more problems with dry skin and dandruff using ';dog shampoo'; than I have had using high- quality ';people'; shampoo..And I have and bathe a LOT of big hairy dogs that are sensitive to chemicals.What brand of Dog Shampoo do you buy?
1. It is healthier for a dog to be clean.


2. Overpriced pet store brands, old product grocery store brands, or online brands. I picked online.


3. I had gotten a sample of this product with a previous order. It worked well.


4. I picked a brand from a website (PetNutritionProducts.com). Great price, awesome product, inexpensive shipping, fast shipping, and excellent customer service.


5. Very satisfied. This shampoo works great.


6. Yes because it is the best dog shampoo I have ever used. This company also has an online vet to consult if you ever have questions. This is the best company I have ever delt with.


7. I have a two adult family with one precious pooch.
1) Why did you need to buy dog shampoo? Cuz I'm a groomer :)





2) What were your choices? Hundreds of shampoos out there. Too many to list brands. I use Espree, Les Poochs, and Groomers Edge Grimenator





3) Why did you choose to buy the brand that you did? I like how it cleans, smells and dilutes.





4) Where did you choose to buy your shampoo? Why? Straight from the manufacturer. It's easier and cheaper, plus I can get deals if I buy in quantities.





5)How did you feel about your purchase after you bought it? Good





6) Would you buy it again? Why or why not? Yes..like I said, I like the results I get.





7) Do you have a family or just you and your dog? (This question is to see if people make different decisions based on family size) Family of 4, 3 dogs, 2 ferrets, 1 cat, 2 lizards and a bird.





p.s. Hartz is the worst product out there.
Groomers edge.. because it cleans well, makes their coats shine, is easy on the skin (non drying) and smells wonderful.





it is also concentrated 32 to 1 so it goes A LONG way!
1) It's called Tropiclean. I like the Papaya scented one.


2) Earthbath (I'm trying that next). I was at a holistic pet store, so that's all the choices.


3) It was cheaper than Earthbath, and I liked how it smelled.


4) I was at a holistic pet store called ';Animal Nutrition Center'; in Roseville California. I was there getting all natural, high quality dog food. (Wellness)


5) It's dog shampoo, not anything essential to survival. I like it just fine. The dog hates her bath, so she hates it.


6) Yes. It keeps the dog smelling nice and her coat shiny.


7) Yes, it's just me and Dott (my dog). I know for sure that if I had kids, I wouldn't spend so much on shampoo for her.





Hope this helps. Good luck with the project.

1) I work at a vet clinic as a nurse we also do dog grooming we buy a sensitive ph'd balanced shampoo in bulk from a suppilier. for my own dog i use a shampoo called aloveen becuase he is allergic to most things.


2) as a clinic we have many choices as reps come to us all the time trying to sell us new things. I pretty much use the aloveen shampoo coz it's the best for my dog.


3) because it's hypo-allegenic and it smells nice


4) i buy it from work becuase i get it at cost price


5) good becuse i know my dogs skin isn't going to react


6) i would buy it again and again because i know ti to be a good product and good for my dogs skin


7) just me my partner and my dog





p.s using human shapoo on dogs is very bad for there skin as our skin is different ph to a dogs you sould never use human shapoo and always use a dog shampoo from a pet store or your local vet





good luck with your paper
1- because I have an indoor dog and he needs to be clean


2-Hartz-Mountain dog shampoo is all I remember


3-I bought Johnson's Baby Shampoo because even tho it is not made for dogs it is tear free, and my dog is a poodle. They get tear stains that need to be washed. I don't want to get other soaps because they might burn his eyes.


4-Walmart. It is one of the few choices to shop at where I live, and I was buying groceries as well.


5-good, I like the result and the smell


6-yes, it cleans my dog well with no tears and pleasant smell of baby scent


7-my husband and I, one dog, 3 cats
