What kind of shampoo can I use on my dog I usually take her to a groomer, so i never bathed her at home ,I want to start doing it. Do I let her air dry or should I blow dry her hair?
They say they need a special one.?

I use biogroom fluffy puppy, and biogroom silk conditioner. Another YT'er says she uses pantene shampoo, and she has beautiful dogs with long hair. So after I run out of biogroom, I will start using pantene. I always blow Louis hair dry. I use my hairdryer on him, on low heat. I bathe him once a week. Welcome to YT!

We use homemade shampoo bars that have lots of essential oils that are good for the skin and aid in repelling fleas and ticks. I've also used a concoction of 2c. water/2c. apple cider vinegar/2c. Ivory dish soap and 1/2 c. glycerin. That is VERY good for the skin. It doesn't smell as bad as it sounds and it gets rid of odor too. Once they are dry, all you can smell is the soap. I don't use commercial soaps at all...not even on my kids. They are so drying on the skin and my ds has sensitive skin so that's how we got to using all natural/homemade stuff.

I also want to let you know that you can go to bio grooms website and send them an email and asks for samples of their shampoos. I did and they sent me 5 bottles of samples.
