Buddy Wash Original Lavender & Mint Dog Shampoo & Conditioner

Recently adopted 2 toy poodles who are puppy mill survivors, and as you can imagine they came with a host of issues. One was that they smelled awful-- a terrible "kennely" smell, even though they'd been groomed and cleaned up by the rescue group. I bathed them again when they got home- still stinky. So I tried Buddy Wash- what a difference! Not only do Peanut & Pixie smell wonderful, their fur is super soft and silky. I'll continue to use Buddy Wash, in fact am taking it for our groomer to use as well.

I bought this because a lot of people seemed to hype up this shampoo, so I had really high expectations. Honestly, this shampoo is not worth the price it is… in fact the smell doesn’t last after drying your dog off… I switched back to the Frisco shampoo which is cheaper, smells better, and the smell actually lasts. If you’re looking for a heavily fragranced shampoo right out of the bottle, that only lasts for a few minutes… this is the shampoo for you. Yikes.

I’m really shocked at the people who don’t seem to love this shampoo… they’re either not using it right or love to leave negative reviews. Either way, I love this shampoo! It leaves such a good smell. I use it on my own dogs and in my salon and it makes my big Bernese smell great for weeks and their coats have never been softer. I highly recommend.

Normally, my long haired chihuahua feels very soft after he's had a bath. After using this shampoo, his hair felt somewhat dry. Not dry and brittle, but not soft the way it normally feels. Surprising for a product that claims to be both shampoo and conditioner. I love the smell and will continue to use it if I can find a conditioner to go with it.

My dog, Buddy, and I both want to recommend this product and all of the Buddy Wash products that are available on Chewy. I use the Lavender & Mint Shampoo and conditioner with him and love the results. He is almost 4 years old and he has the softest long after I use this product on him. I also use the spritzer spray right after he gets out of the bath to reduce that "wet dog" smell. Buddy also LOVES to roll in things that smell horrible that I'd prefer him not to in the woods and after I use a mix of Dawn dish soap, baking powder and peroxide (see Google for recipe) I follow up with this, and he ALWAYS comes out smelling like my sweet boy again.

Have used this on our Wheaten terrier since puppyhood. This shampoo has never caused problems although she tends toward mild skin allergies. The scent is pleasant but does not overpower or linger.

This is seriously the best smelling dog shampoo/conditioner ever and I think I've tried them all. Suds up easily without needing to use too much and leaves my girl's coat silky soft. She has allergies and this doesn't seem to bother her at all either, which is another bonus.

So I’ve NEVER come across a dog shampoo that ever leaves my dog smelling like anything other than wet dog. And nobody likes that LOL but this literally left my stinky 3 month old puppy so shiny and smelling FRESH! No direct smells of lavender or mint, but she just smells CLEAN and not like a wet dog. You won’t regret this purchase.

I absolutely LOVE this shampoo. I bought a bottle last week and washed all three of my dogs with it. It not only smells incredible - but my dogs hair is more soft and fluffy and easier to comb and groom than any other shampoo I have ever used. And you don't need a conditioner with this shampoo - it's already added. I've only used this Buddy Wash once (for each of my 3 dogs) - but I just bought 2 more bottles today to have on hand (as backup). Really GREAT stuff!!!

It took many shampoos to figure out which one without be the best for my frenchie. His skin is really sensitive. I’ve bought so many all natural as well as medicated, most very expensive. This by far is the best and the best smell (why bother to bathe him when he doesn’t even get a nice smell after?) My only complaint: it’s so hard to squeeze this bottle. Especially when you have a squirmy, soapy little guy in your other hand!
