Unless your pet is one of those rare dogs that actually likes baths, bath-time is probably a Herculean effort. Somehow, your wary pooch always knows when it’s time for a bath and hides. When you finally manage to coax—or wrangle—your puppy into the bath, they don’t want to stay there. As they’re contemplating their life existence and bad luck while you’re shampooing them, maybe you should give some thought as to what you’re shampooing your dog with. Because they’re your best friend and a family member, you want to wash them with the most natural or most helpful shampoo. Dogs have skin imbalances like we do, and sometimes they can end up with some nasty rashes or fungal infections. That’s why it’s important to see what your shampoo is helping with. We rounded up the best dog shampoos for you.
