Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows a good brand of dog shampoo out there for a Yorkie? The shampoo needs to have a long lasting scent. My Yorkie lives outside because of his terrible smell. I use Groomax shampoo on him twice a week, but the scent goes away after an hour and he starts to smell again. I have to shower for him twice a week because the smell is horrible but it doesn't seem to do any good. The only time he's ever smelled good is after he came back from the groomers and he smelled so good we didn't have to shower for him for a month. After showering for him twice a week for a couple of weeks, his skin is drying out and getting itchy. So, I shower for him once a week now and spray like doggy spray on him and the spray isn't working on him either it lasts only like 2 hours and goes away. Would anyone like to recommend a good smelling shampoo? And should I use an oatmeal shampoo or itch relief type?A Good Dog Shampoo for a Yorkie?
stop bathing him so much!! You are drying his skin out. He should only need bathed once or twice a month.
Try brushing him daily. Use some leave in conditioner on his skin to help restore moisture to his skin and coat.
Doggy odors can be associated with skin infections, ear infections, dental problems, and poor diet.
I dont think its a skin thing.. his skin is dry and itchy now because you are bathing too much.
Check inside his ears, are they expecially smelly? Sore to the touch? Red, crusty, black or dark brown dirt? He needs to see a vet for antibiotics.
What are you feeding the dog? Poor diet will cause doggy odors.A Good Dog Shampoo for a Yorkie?
i have a Yorkie and i use Dawn dish-washing liquid on her! Go out to Petsmart and buy dog perfume/colonge it works good on isabella!
Tough question. I have two Yorkies aged 14 and 7. I am always in search for the perfect shampoo. I use Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner (for people) on them and it usually makes them smell pretty good. May I ask why your Yorkie lives outside? Yorkies are notorious for their ';scent.'; It's just something you have to accept. Also, you should not bathe him more than once a week. I bathe my Yorkies once or twice a month. I've used the oatmeal shampoos and the itch relief shampoos and they never work. He might just have skin allergies. Maybe you should take him to the vet just to make sure instead of spending a ton of money on special shampoos and stuff. Good Luck.
Yorkie should not smell horrible. And you should not keep Yorkie outdoor, they are indoor pets.
If your Yorkie smell, find out where the smell come from. Most of time is from the ears, because of ears infection.
But anyway, I use Buddy wash, Buddy Rinse on my Yorkie. And use Buddy splash when I brush her.
try bathing him once a month and using a little baby powder or dog scent pray you can get at a petstore. No way should any dog be bathed twice a week.
What have you been doing to that dog so that it smells horrible. Use Pantene!!!

Can you use dog flea shampoo on a person?
Because are dog got fleas and both me and my mom got bit on our bodies and heads.Can you use dog flea shampoo on a person?
if you have lice get special shampoo but just for two extra dollars you can go to target and get shampoo...Can you use dog flea shampoo on a person?
Bug bomb your house (w/o the dog in it!).
Flea shampoo only kills live fleas, so unless they are crawling around on your head it would be pointless.
Would Dog Shampoo especially for Fleas be harsher that just normal shampoo for humans... check this out.....so you have to consider it.. all the best ....mark
Canine Flea Shampoo - Most shampoo products contain dog flea medicine that helps to kill fleas on your dog. The problem is that they do not prevent the fleas from coming back after the bath. Also is you don't bathe the dog correctly, the fleas will jump from the part you are washing to other parts of the dog. To avoid this problem, soap your dog from the head going back. Use a flea comb through the hair, frequently dunking the comb under water to kill the fleas as you go. Once the foam is all over your dog, let it soak in for approximately 15 minutes before washing your pet off.
Yes, it's fine.
They bite you, but they do not stay on you.
I don't think it's a good idea to use the same shampoo.
I do think that you should clean your house/apartment very thoroughly and wash blankets etc where your dog have been sleeping. Spray your carpets, couch and such with anti flea spray.
And just use your regular shampoo. Dog fleas can not survive on humans.
Go ahead and try it....let us know how it goes.
No hun you need to clean your house and treat the yard, house, dog's bedding and dog all at the same time to get rid of the fleas! DO NOT use that shampoo on yourself, I broke out all over, taking a shower after treating a dog of mine and just had residue shampoo on my hands!
It depends on what kind, but you can probably use it on your head.

Where Can I Find Some Cheap Dog Shampoo For Itchy and Dry Skin?
I need to know where I can get some very cheap dog shampoo for dry or itchy Skin and no Dont say that i need to quit washing my dog thats not the problem. my question was where can i find some cheap shampoo .please dont get off the topic please and thankyuh(;Where Can I Find Some Cheap Dog Shampoo For Itchy and Dry Skin?
Well, the answer is not going to change just because you posted the question again. The dog's skin is dry and itchy because you are bathing him with cheap shampoo three times a week! Go to your local pet store and ask someone what they recommend, then choose whatever you can afford. Maybe if you bathe him less, you can afford a better quality shampoo since you'll use so much less of it.Where Can I Find Some Cheap Dog Shampoo For Itchy and Dry Skin?
When your dog has itchy skin, it's better to go with a good quality shampoo. I don't know what price range you are looking for, but the good thing is even though the good shampoos may cost a little more, you don't need to use much, so a bottle will last. The cheap brands may not help and you'd end up spending more by trying different cheap brands. One good brand that you can find at most vets office, is Malasab shampoo. There is a very good brand, that is organic, it's called Thera-Neem shampoo. I have a dog with skin problems and this shampoo cleared it up. It contains Neem oil which helps get rid of any red and dry skin areas. You can find it online at neemdirect.com, and other places. You don't need much at all, so a small bottle will last a while. It works great. Best of luck to your dog. Hope I helped.
Buddy Wash is one of the best shampoos I've ever used for my dogs. Unlike many shampoos, it doesn't leave them dandruffy in winter. I would recommend using it with Buddy Rinse Conditioner though.
http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a鈥?/a>
is a good site to buy it from, it's like 8 dollars a bottle. The shampoo is also a bit concentrated, I find with my dogs, I can get like 12 to 15 baths out of it and my dogs are 50 lbs each with medium length hair and some undercoat.
oatmeal based helps, can be found at any animal store.Also I feed my dogs omega fatty acids and some flax seed oil in there food as well as vit e. These all help a dry coat. good dog food helps.Never give a dog eggs that depletes oils from their coats it is a wise tale, that is not wise..
The flax seed oil I just give 1/4 tsp 3 times a week but talk to a vet before giving anything that is for people.
ADD: I just read you are bathing your dog three times a week? Please tell me that is not true you will harm your dog and it is just not the way to go..brushing the dog will help with natural oils and keep any smell down as will high quality foods.
There are many places to by cheap shampoo ..
But I will take a guess and say WALMART..
However..there are many cheap and costly shampoos that just do not work..
Try this..just a suggestion..
Rinse your dog in apple cider vinegar mix with water let it sit on him for about 3 min...than wash in baby shampoo..
See if that works for you..if it does that is really cheap
Good luck

Cheap soap is just that, CHEAP, Most of them don't work worth beans. You need to see your vet and get the proper shampoo.
baby shampoo; if it's good enough for infants and wont' dry out baby skin, it's good for your dog.
You should have more care for your pet(s) how about you just get a reccomended shampoo from your local vet

Why do you have to use dog shampoo?
does it hurt to use regular shampoo with conditioner on a dog?Why do you have to use dog shampoo?
Their skin has a different pH than ours, so they can get itchy with people shampoo.Why do you have to use dog shampoo?
PH measurement can vary by sex, breed, coat color, anatomic site, general skin physiology, environmental climate, or geographical location. Canine skin is more alkaline than human skin, with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.2 with some dogs have even higher pH levels on the dorsal thoracolumbar, ranging from 6.4 to 9.1
The relative alkalinity of canine skin may be partly responsible for a higher predisposition to cutaneous infections in the dog compared to other species, such as cats or humans. Human skin has an optimal pH balance of 5.4 -5.6 and the shampoos we use are designed to maintain that balance. By altering the Ph balance in using a human shampoo, one could actually cause a dog to have skin problems or worsen existing ones.
Unfortunately dog hair and skin is a different make up from humans. Just as people have different hair structures and textures, so do dogs. Shampoos made for humans will not only dry and irritate their skin, it will dry their coat. This will make them more susceptible to skin infections from scratching and the coat will not protect as well as designed.
If push comes to shove and there is no dog shampoo available, give them a good washing without any soap. This will allow the oil to remain in the coat and skin while removing most of the dirt. May need to rinse a few times more :)
human shampoo is PH balanced for human skin.. you may cause skin irritations or reactions if you use human shampoo.
My mom actually knows someone who used human shampoo on a dog and the poor dog had such bad chemical burns that it had to be put to sleep. I was young when this happened, and I thought they had used something like Pert or Head and Shoulders.. but mom told me the other day it was actually BABY SHAMPOO!
Fact is, I use human shampoo most of the time, because I think it does a better job. And conditioner too, sometimes.
Not everybody agrees, though; I know that. If it causes any ill effects, of course, stop it.
I don't think I have ever bought a bottle of dog shampoo, and I have had dogs for about 60 years. Be amazed what some water and a good brush can do.
Soap of any kind messes with the natural oils in a dogs coat.
Yes it does, its very harsh on their skin and will cause skin problems. Every now and there if you don't have dog shampoo it won't hurt but if you use it all the time it will.
regular shampoo on a regular basis will damage the coat %26amp; skin. In a pinch it's fine. I often use baby shampoo, though, since it's much gentler and milder so it won't damage the coat %26amp; skin. And it smells great!
Because human shampoo and conditioner is too harsh on a dogs skin and dries out all the oils in the skin and irritates the skin more. Stick to dog shampoo!
human shampoo has chemicals that rids the nessassary oils on the dogs skin....that human try to get rid of on their hair...how ever i do use baby shampoo on my chi from time to time
It's specially formulated for their skin needs. My dog would itch to death if I used my shampoo on her. Plus, dog shampoo rinses out much easier.
Use a good Dog Shampoo. But it's a known fact that Baby Shampoo is fine too use on a puppy or dog.
The chemicals in human shampoo are to harsh for a dogs skin.
human soaps are harsher than dog shampoo
just buy the dog-dog shampoo....get your knickers out of a bunch! xxx
Well look at me.....of course I use dog shampoo.
Yeah I think what Betty said.....is trueguy myspace

What is the best shampoo for dog dandraff?
My dog has alot of dandruff. He is part lab/part great dane. How can I cut down on this plus shedding?What is the best shampoo for dog dandraff?
There are a few things you can do. 1. Switch his food to a lamb and rice formula. That promotes a healthy skin and coat from the inside out. 2. For a limited time, till the shedding and dry skin is better purchase a product called linetone. It's an oil you put on their food that helps balance the chemicals in the body, you can also try olive oil or fish oil.
3. Use a shampoo called Tegrin. It's an actual dandruff shampoo my vet recommended for my Golden who has bad skin allergies. Don't use head and shoulders, its not the same....it's actually called Tegrin.
4. Once the shedding and dandruff have stopped to maintain a healthy skin and coat, continue to feed the lamb and rice formula. And bath your pup once a month w/ an oatmeal shampoo. It's very moisturizing and healthy. If symptoms return switch back to Tegrin.
Although your dog has short hair, talk to a groomer about the best brush to use. Brushing your dog 1-2 times a day helps to promote the natural oils in his skin to cut down on dry skin and shedding.
Good LuckWhat is the best shampoo for dog dandraff?
If the dandruff is bad a vet can perscribe a natural oatmeal bath that is better then what they have at the stores. I did this for my dog... however it's going to run you around $11 per bottle.
Try Tea Tree Oil, Salicylic Acid, Benzoil Peroxide, or Coal Tar.
Tea Tree Oil and Coal Tar can be found at any petstore, you may need to order online through a kennel supplier like Pet Edge (www.petedge.com) to get the other two. A lot of people will suggest oatmeal, but that really doesn't help with bad dandruff, oatmeal is mostly soothing against itchiness caused by mild dry skin and/or allergies. A good moisturizing conditioner after the shampoo will help also.
If the dog has dry skin and shedding, you may also look at food as being the culprit; poor quality food = poor coat and skin. Good foods: Artemis, Wellness, Innova Evo (the best by far), Orijen, Canidae, Chicken Soup, Solid Gold. BAD foods: Pedigree, Purina, Beneful, Pro Plan, Alpo, Science Diet, anything from a grocery store or Petsmart type store.
Lastly, you can find food additives for skin and coat (Lipiderm is the brand I use) but there are many others, they all contain fish oils and fatty acids to help reduce shedding and dry skin. However, I suggest you use these in combination with a good food, not to replace a good food.
