bath? really?
oatmeal. I like wahl.
I have a 7 month old black lab mix. I am trying to decide what type of shampoo to use when bathing her. With her husky fur-brother, we use a furminator de-shedding shampoo, but I know that is not necessary for my lab. What do you use? I am thinking of trying the Burt’s Bees puppy shampoo.

I used Burt's puppy shampoo on Asher. No problems at all with skin irritation.

I rarely actually bathe mine. At the end of a beach vacay I will use shampoo but usually I just rinse with plain water. The shampoo I currently have is Earthbath, either the Sweet Orange or the Mango Tango. Since I bathe with shampoo so infrequently, I haven't had any issue with it drying the fur or skin. I pretty much get the scent I like since anything I use seems to work fine. I don't know how much huskies shed compared to labs but mine shed pretty much all the time and really bad probably twice a year.
I think i bathed my lab like once a year if that! A swim in the lake does wonders. Ha!

We use plain lukewarm water in the shower with the pulsating shower-head. The girls love the pulsating.
I do bathe twice a year during shedding season. Helps to get rid of the loose undercoat and he smells nice... for a day. I do use more expensive shampoos but they last for years.

Like Berna, twice a year only during shed to help release the undercoat. I use a Zoom Groom in the bath and afterwards. Been using Earth Bath. For muddy dogs, a quick rinse with the hose. Too much bathing strips the natural oils labs are supposed to have.
