I just realized that the doggy shampoo cost more than my own shampoo. huh.
Of course I started off with some cheapo brand shampoo (ahem, Fresh N Clean) but do you know how much shampoo is needed to wash a 80+ pound dog if it doesn't lather well? A whole lot.
Several free samples later, we are now using shampoo from Earthbath. The awesome thing about Earthbath is that they have fragrance free and hypo allergenic shampoos for those pets and petowners who are prone to allergies. I am partial to the Tea Tree and Aloe as it has the small hint of fragrance but not an overwhelming amount.
The best part about this shampoo is that it lathers like nobody's business. Because we were so used to having to use a large amount of our cheapo shampoo, we used the same amount of the Earthbath shampoo on our dogs. Needless to say, the doggies got some extra massage time as we worked out the extra lather.
For a price comparison, the Fresh N Clean Shampoo is about $0.55/oz while the Earthbath Shampoo is about $0.94/oz. Yes, the Earthbath Shampoo is almost twice as much which is why I initially went for the Fresh N Clean. But after using it, the Earthbath comes out to be so much cheaper because you have to use so much less of it.
And FYI, Ender and Barksdale's mama uses Johnson's & Johnson's Baby Shampoo which comes out to about $0.29/oz.
