| Bathing & eyes What brand of shampoo do you use on your doggy's face/head? Is it tearless? How do you rinse the head? How do you avoid getting shampoo in the eyes? Thank you for your input.

| I use SPA blueberry facial on the face- it is meant for the face and is tearless, therefore okay to get in the eyes- it was recommended by my groomer. I scrub the face really good and then use my hand to pour water over their face to rinse. I used to be really scared about washing their heads but then I watched the groomer a few times and they really lather up the face and don't worry about getting anything in their eyes, so now I am no longer nervous.

| I use Spa Lavish facial scrub and use a small cup to rinse under the eyes and top of the head. I cup their chin in my hand and tilt their heads back to rinse the top of the head.

| I use just normal shampoo on Fido's face I have Pet Silk Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Its tearless (almost all, if not all, dog shampoos and conditioners are tearless), I use a little cup to pour the water on the head. I hold the dogs head up so little water goes into the eyes

I don't get right next to the top of their eyes and I just use my fingertip to massage it onto the bridge of the nose and right under and above their eyes.

| I use the Iv San Bernard "Puppy Don't Cry" on Cali's face. It is a bar of soap and lathers up very well and is tearless. I like that it rinses out so well.

| I am currently using Chris Christensen Day-to-Day shampoo and conditioner and love it. I use the kitchen sink and sprayer to bath them. I do the body first, then rinse then the head. I but the palm of my hand over their eyes and rinse the tops of their heads like that.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I use Johnson and Johnson Tear free baby shampoo, not only smells like babies, but I don't have to worry about it getting into their eyes.To rinse I use my hands to pour the water over their faces, it takes a while since I like to rinse over and over, but the they look and smell great after we are all done

I use the spa facial on Rosie and Mikki's entire head. I use Minksheen on the rest of their body. I do clean close to the eyes. But try to not get it in the eyes. I use a rag to help me control where it is going.
