Dog Shampoos and grooming aids.
As you can see by this picture, there are many pet shampoos on the market. Some of these are from the vet but you can purchase them online.
- Avo Derm Medicated Shampoo for dogs
- Derma Treat Shampoo
- Jasmin Natural Flee Shampoo Plus (I love this one because it smells so good and has Citronella and cedar oils that repels fleas.
- Malaseb Medicated Shampoo for dogs and cats
- Virbac Pyoben (vet bought) It doesn’t work
- De Flea pet Shampoo has strong flea killers in it. Do not use this shampoo too much or too often and remember to treat you dog’s bedding and areas he likes to lounge in.
- Meyers Dog Shampoo. Clean and natural. I bought this at Whole Foods. Grooming tools and toothbrush.
From right to left are curved blunt nosed scissors, toothbrush, nail clippers, and thinning shears to get rid of mats and tangles.
