| What is a "good" shampoo (that won't empty my life savings!) Okay everyone, Quincy is my first yorkie and I'm not really sure what kind of shampoo to use. I have to give him a flea bath every week because for some reason fleas are really prevelent in our area. But I've been using his puppy shampoo for his other weekly bath, and his coat just looks dull and gross. When we got him it was really shiny and silky and I don't know if it's the shampoo or what? But I can't afford extremely expensive stuff, so is there anything a reasonable price that I can use to get him lookin good again?

| Thanks for the advice everyone, I didn't know that it could be the food too though...he just eats the stuff that our german shepherd eats that we get from costco. He was always taking her food anyways and we just found it easier to buy one kind of food. Maybe I'll put him back on science diet or something

| I ordered the cowboy magic shampoo and detangler & shine for under 15.00 at petsmart. i like the way it makes her soft and shiny but the smell doesn't last more than a few hours esp. if they play outside.
