    • Shampoos designed to deliver extra conditioning to long or curly coats can make post-bath grooming even easier.

    • Accentuate your dog’s coat color by choosing a shampoo made for white, black, or red coats.

    • For sensitive eyes, consider a tearless shampoo.

    • For wire-coated dogs, look for a shampoo designed to preserve the crisp texture of your dog’s coat.

    • Many dogs have sensitive skin or eyes.  A hypoallergenic shampoo can minimize sensitivity reactions to bathing.

    • If your dog already has a rash, allergies, itching, or other sensitive skin conditions, look for a medicated shampoo designed to treat your dog’s problem. Your vet should be able to recommend a good medicated shampoo for your dog.

    • For flea season, consider a shampoo containing a gentle anti-flea ingredient such as pyrethrin or limonene, or any of several natural botanicals designed to repel fleas, such as neem oil.
