I use to use a shampoo from Pet Edge...it smells so good but my gallon just ran out so I am going with Minkshine that has a conditioner built in..on the pricey side but it lasts a LONG time. Everyone sleeps with me so they have to be sparklie clean! I have NEVER had an issue with dry skin or itching...my hubby does not like doggie smell...and frankly neither do I. I feel like keeping everyone clean is the least I can do since he lets me have so many LOL! and...I REALLY enjoy grooming day! I think feeding raw is what keeps everyone's skin balanced and not itchy. Everyone's teeth get done every night before bed too. It is so much a routine now it would feel so weird not doing it...been 15 years of the same routine and I guess it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks. Every bed and blanket gets washed on grooming day as well!

I can't remember the name of the shampoo right now and I'm out of town but I know its for sensitive skin. I also have dog wipes to wipe him down if I need to and conditioning spray which makes him smell good for a little while. He's always really soft after a bath.

Has anyone found that any particular shampoos tend to remove that shine (natural oil) from their Chi? How often do most of you shampoo your Chi's? ©2003 LongBraid Designs ©2003 LongBraid Designs
