Hey there groomers and pet parents! Sorry it's been so long since my first review. Things have been a little crazy ever since the new addition to our pack. Wait. Didn't I mention that? No? Well my mini poodle Kylie is no longer an only-dog and she is now the proud sister to little Humphrey-Beauregard; a sable mini poodle puppy. At this point he's going on 5 months and anyone who's had a rambunctious little puppy knows how much attention they need. But now that he's a little older and I finally have some downtime, here's a great new shampoo to try out!
I found this in the Pet-Edge catalog when I was shopping for new 'poos to try and when I first saw it all I could think was "bleh, aroma what? It's probably some all natural junk that doesn't get your dog clean at all". I almost didn't get it but for the apple on the front (I'm a sucker for apple and blueberry scents). Plus it was only $4.99 and I figured what the hell (it's worth noting that you can also get it in a gallon for $29.99). I have to say I'm glad I followed my nose on this one.
I really love this shampoo. First off the smell is divine. It's like a macintosh and a gala had a delicious love child in the form of shampoo. So fruity, so fresh, almost like a green apple jolly rancher. It's just tops. On top of that it suds up great and it really feels like you're getting the dog clean. A lot of that has to do with some of its ingredients;
Apple cider vinegar, baking soda, Aloe Vera and Vitamins A and E.
Now little Humbug (as he is referred to) doesn't have any buildup in his hair so I can't really speak to its abilities as a clarifying shampoo. What I can say however is that I get buildup in MY hair all the time and every so often I rinse my hair with apple cider vinegar and it does wonders, so I imagine that this shampoo could be great for dogs with lots of yucky buildup and probably yeasty dogs too. I'll definitely be trying it out and updating this post once I do.
I can't wait to get my hands on some gross cocker feet and ears.
The Bottom Line
For the price of this shampoo I would definitely recommend giving it a try. It smells absolutely incredible, especially when followed up with Pet Effects Appletini cologne. While the smell doesn't outwardly seem to last a super long time, whenever he gets wet you can smell it for sure and lets be honest, that's way more appealing then smelling like a wet dog. It's got great ingredients plus it's both a clarifying and aromatherapy shampoo so it's potential uses span the gamut. If you're looking for something fruity and fresh, give this a try. You might like it as much as I do.
