I'm new to this site, so I'll just mention that I'm a professional pet groomer and have been grooming for 14 years now. In that time I have tried A LOT of shampoos and conditioners. The Chris Christensen is a great product. Many groomers use their lines with fabulous results. I have chosen to use Show Seasons in my mobile grooming business. It is considered one of the best lines on the market by professionals (As is the CC). Show Seasons has a unique conditioner called Results Rinse that does not weigh down a dogs coat and can even be used on cats. It is wonderful and I've never found another product like it. The Show Seasons company will only sell to groomers but I would think most groomers would order it for you and sell it to you. They also have a wonderful line of colognes. What is also great about the SHow Seasons is they have a Naturals line where they list their ingredients. Pet shampoo companies are not required to do this and most don't, but as a professional it's important to me to know what I am using on my clients pets. I think it's also important to ask your groomer what they are using on your pets. I've known some groomers who use nothing more than diluted dish soap, or the cheapest shampoo they can get. And as a side note, most shampoos you get at the vet are for a specific reason (allergies, skin issues, etc) and tend not to clean very well. Their focus is on treating the issue at hand, not really getting your pet clean. Sometimes adding a little hypoallergenic shampoo with the prescription shampoo will really help get your dog cleaner. Of course always consult your vte first.
