earthbath Hot Spot Relief Pet Shampoo, Tea Tree Oil & Aloe Vera, 16oz – Best Dog Shampoo for Itching & Skin Conditions – Made in USA

Very Pleased!
I was a bit skeptical to try this on my Australian cattle dog after countless attempts with different shampoos and very little success. I was stuck debating between the Oatmeal & Aloe vs. Tea Tree and Aloe. I decided to go for tea tree, based on her ongoing skin issues.After the first few washings, I started to notice dramatic results with her obsessive scratching, which I feel was either fungal or allergy related, if not a mix of the two. I also looked into her food, trying to get types that had less wheat in the ingredients, since I know a lot of dogs are allergic to it, and that also seemed to help quite a bit as well (also noticed her seizures have lessened, though not sure if that’s related). Even though her scratching lessened significantly, I’ve also been giving her a little organic coconut oil in her food off and on for about two to three times a week (about a tablespoon), just to help with her coat and to fight against worms.What I really love about this product, aside from it helping with her scratching, is that there’s no strong perfume smell and the ingredients are great, too. I avoid chemicals in a lot of my skincare, so I feel good about putting an all-natural product on her. I don’t ever notice any residue on her coat, but it still manages to leave it clean and shiny. You don’t need a lot and it rinses easily, which is also great.She’s always extremely perky after I’m done bathing her now, like tonight. Kind of funny actually. I also like to use the Conair shampoo dog brush to help loosen any dirt and shedding fur (she sheds/blows her coat twice a year in clumps, rather than consistently), as well as for a little massage, and she loves it. Highly recommend.**Update**Still loving this brand, although I decided to give the oatmeal version a try, even though I really wanted to try the mango scent (for my sake!). Our weather has been pretty dry, with hardly any humidity in the air, and my dog’s skin was getting flaky and itchy (as was mine). The tea tree didn’t work as well for this a few weeks ago, and my guess is that it’s better for more fungal-type issues or dermatitis, etc. Before, the weather wasn’t dry, she had some other issue going on, which tea tree helped with.I decided to give the oatmeal type a shot and loved the smell. It definitely conditioned her coat more – though the tea tree made it just as clean and shiny, if not a little more clean/clarified. Since I shampoo twice in a row, for good measure, I’ll probably use both for now; otherwise, I think I prefer the oatmeal. The tea tree didn’t smell bad, IMO, but smelled more herbal (very mild). My “partner” didn’t care too much for it, but he said she smelled good when I used the oatmeal, even while she was still wet. Again, very mild smell that fades by the next day.Would say to get the oatmeal if you see flakes/dandruff/dryness, or the tea tree if there’s scratching but no apparent dry skin involved. I’m sure either type will work great, though.

Best Shampoo
My pit bulls have sensitive skin, but this shampoo has restored their moisture in their skin and left their fur soft and shiny. I have been using this shampoo for several years and wouldn’t use anything else.

I need to bath my pooch monthly to keep on top of skin issues he’s had. I really like this shampoo, it doesn’t contain any nasties, foams nicely but not too much, doesn’t dry his skin out and smells nice (of tea tree oil as you’d expect), but doesn’t leave him smelling like a perfume shop.

Great shampoo, since I have been using earth bath my dog loves baths and does not feel tempted to roll in yucky things the way he did after washing with some other brands of dog shampoo. Thiese shampoos and conditioners are so good, we occasionally use them! I try not to as they are priced though, but worth it. Helped my dogs skin. He had bad dandruff, used the colloidal oatmeal at that time, now this one.
