Tear free or baby shampoo? I'm looking for a tear-free doggie shampoo. Any recommendations out there, or should I just use a baby tear free shampoo; johnson & johnson comes to mind. |
Some people swear by the Johnson & Johnson's, but I prefer the products made specifically for dogs. I used Paul Mitchell's tear free on Max's head until I tested it in my eye and discovered that it stung terribly. We switched to BioGroom's Oatmeal shampoo and Silk Creme rinse conditioner. Neither sting my eyes and I love the results. BioGroom also makes "Fluffy Puppy" shampoo that many people like. These products are available online and at Petsmart. |
Tearless Shampoo |
question Wouldn't it burn a human's eye simply because they formulate it for the ph of dog hair and skin and not the ph of human hair and skin? |

Johnson's & Johnson's dries out the coat.... I prefer Biogroom Fluffy Puppy it is a soapless tearless forumula. |
I use Johnson and Johnson's just on Gracie's head and use dog shampoo and conditioner for the rest of her. |
We use Bio Groom Fluffy Puppy. It is soapless and Pistol has no problems when I use this on his face. It also rinses really well which is important. |
I use Bio Groom shampoo too. |
Thanks for all the info! I'm going to try Bio Groom if I can find it. Is this something that PetSmart or PetCo carries, or do I need to find it at one of the doggie boutiques (pricey) in my area? I have some behavioral questions to post; can anyone direct me to where I should post that? Marilyn :) |

Your behaviorial questions would be better answered in the training forum. |
My yorkie is 9. She had wiry hair for the first 18 months or so and chewed her paws and scratched alot. I started using Aveeno Daily Moisterising Body Soap, with Aveeno Tear Free Baby Wash. She quit chewing her paws within a week. I've never used anything else on her. She has a long, silky, exceptionally beautiful coat. She has never had dry skin - I bath and blo-dry her twice a week. |
I normally use a tear free baby shampoo on the girls in between baths/groomings at the groomer's. They get groomed every two weeks, but sometimes they go swimming in the pool, so they need a quick, gentle bath after that. When they get their groom, the groomers use baby shampoo just on their faces, and dog stuff on the rest of 'em;) |
Baby Shampoo is not all that mild or gentle. It is formulated to remove 'cradle cap' that developes on infants heads. I use Biogroom, all their products are tear free. They will send you samples to try from their website. Also, all their products can be diluted to 1 part product to 4 parts water... so they really last a long time... and something to factor into the price. To remove eye goop, I just premoisten the eye area with sterile saline solution.. it does a good job of softening it up so it can be combed out gently without pulling out any hair. |
I'm a new Yorkie mommy, and just gave my puppy her first bath. My question is has anyone used vets+best? I bought the hypoallergenic version and it seemed to work well her coat is really soft and shiny, but not in a oily way. How frequently do you wash your yorkies? |
Truffle gets a bath every 4 days and I take her to the groomer every 6 weeks. That might be too much for some dogs, but I've been doing it since she was a pup and it is not too much for her. I take my Aveeno with me to the groomer and only have them use the Baby Bath on her face with the Body Wash on her body. Never had an issues with dry skin at all. My vet tells me every time I see him not to change what I am doing. I guess different things work for different dogs. |
PS - congrads on your new Yorkie. If you have never had one before you are in for some great times. This is the only breed I will ever have because of the personality traits. |
I use Spa facial scrub on my yorkies face and i love it:D |
Is Tropiclean cosmetic good for puppy yorkie? |

Espree has a few formulas that are tearless and they have a couple foaming facial scrubs as well. i've used both Biogroom and Espree and between those two products i prefer Espree. |
