Some manufacturers actually re-purpose baby shampoo and bottle it for dogs (from a personal source inside a major pet products retailer). Anyway, I like the way the shampoo works, and thought I would make sure that anyone who wanted to use it would have all of the information. I didn't choose a pH of 9 and try to hit that. I wanted it to be higher than 7 for sure is all. If you think 9 is too high, by all means, don't use it (and, you obviously don't).
The reasons I use the shampoo are completely based on my own personal opinions. I like it.  I like the smell, I like the lather, I like the pH, I like the cleaning ability, and I like the ingredients. I have been using it exclusively for 2 years and love the results every day. After I bathe Catherine, she is soft and smells great and her coat looks fuller (she has fine hair). When I bathe Stitch, his extremely cottony coat lays flat and is shiny and very soft. I just thought I had a great product and I would be absolutely selfish to keep it to myself.
If you don't want to use it, that's absolutely fine with me. I sent you a free sample because I hoped that you would like it, too. You don't and that's fine. |
Kudos to you for handling this in such a professional manner. The complaints seemed a bit rough to me....if you don't like something and want to comment, that's fine but it just seemed that the thread turned into an attack thing. That could be me and/or the way I interpreted it. There are MANY products on the market that I do not care for, but if many like them, then I figure it is probably a matter of MY personal preferences, not the quality of the products. Minksheen for example is not one of my favorites at all (I personally found the scent to be nasty and harsh), yet it has a fan base. *shrug*
I have not used your products but have heard they are wonderful from a couple of friends. I am happy with what I use so have not really thought to try anything else.
