Pets Are Kids Too Oatmeal Dog Shampoo Baking Soda Hypoallergenic Anti Itch Moisturizing Soothing Deodorizing Pet Care Safe Puppy Shampoo Sensitive Skin Cat Shampoo - Coconut Based Cleanser 17 fl oz

The Pets Are Kids Too Oatmeal Dog Shampoo (Baking Soda, Hypoallergenic, Anti-Itch, Moisturizing) is a really solid product overall. It’s gentle yet effective, great for dogs with sensitive or itchy skin. After using it, my dog’s coat felt clean and soft without drying out, and the oatmeal and baking soda blend helped soothe irritation. The shampoo lathers nicely and rinses easily, and it didn’t leave any strong or overwhelming scent. Overall, this shampoo is high quality, soothing, and worth using — especially if your pup needs extra care for itchy or dry skin!

For those who want the key takeaways: 1) This stuff leaves my dogs amazingly clean, soft, and shiny. I used to do three rounds of bathing to get them clean. I only needed one with PAKT Oatmeal shampoo! 2) I hate the smell of 99.99999% of any and all fragranced dog products; however, I absolutely love the scent of this. Notice I didn’t say fragrance! It’s the scent of the oils, not a synthetic fragrance. It smells like a heavenly oatmeal cookie fresh from the oven but only if you get up close to snuggle. 3) One of my boys has some allergies. He has stopped itching. 4) My purchase helps to save sick dogs and, in turn, the humans who love them! Now the longer version: We have three chocolate labradors who play hard. In the Texas heat, this means they get sweaty and gross pretty quickly and VERY often. Don’t even mention lakes and creeks! I bathe them once every two weeks and sometimes weekly in the summers. I have to make sure their skin stays moisturized, so the oatmeal and moisturizers in this shampoo are perfect. Regarding the fragrance: I hate fragranced products. Period. I don’t buy them. I get debilitating migraines, and fragrance is my number one killer. This shampoo, though, is not littered with synthetic fragrance! The heavenly smell is from oils and oatmeal, AND the best part is that the baking soda helps deodorize. My dogs’ odor isn’t masked; it’s eliminated. The delicious smell is only even noticeable when you snuggle, so you don’t gag from synthetic cover ups when you walk in the door. It’s very soothing to me and the dogs. The puppy pictured actually flopped down and just relaxed in my lap during his bath. I absolutely cannot wait to order more!

I don't write a ton of reviews on Amazon, but felt compelled to give my honest opinion of this product due to the first reviewer "Bridgett" being 100% wrong on everything she said regarding this product/company. Of course, in a response given that I'm defending the product, she would likely say I'm compensated or own the company or some conspiracy theory, MEH. -Given the comments she made about product having no affect on her pugs and she "assumed" it was dry skin they were experiencing. I'm led to believe that she assumed wrong and the pugs have a bacterial/fungal infection and really needed a medicated anti-bacterial/fungal product to relieve their itching. NOW, onto my review. SCENT: This is by far my favorite scent of any dog shampoo I've used to date, I compare it more to fresh-baked oatmeal cookies. Not only is the scent a favorite of mine, but this shampoo works wonders at removing mal-odors from the dogs especially my puppy who has a tendency to urinate on himself when sleeping. SKIN & FUR: After washing with the all-in-one shampoo/conditioner my dog's fur is really soft to the touch and easy to brush. In general, my dogs' dry skin is alleviated all over from the shampoo except on my small dog who has a hotspot on the front of his neck that has no fur coverage. For hotspots, after the bath I follow-up with the hotspot spray/deodorant from this manufacturer and it soothes the dog. I then reapply the spray as needed days/weeks after bath for either hotspots or odor. -Should definitely purchase the spray in addition to the shampoo/conditioner if your dog has hotspots/odor issues. All-in-All you should definitely give this product a try if it fits your needs, and if it doesn't they have great customer service. My only negative that I experienced was that both my shampoo bottle and Anti-Itch spray bottle arrived with tops broken allowing half of both products to leak out into the box. Still, I was very happy with the product and realize weird stuff happens sometimes.

My cat is an over groomer and we felt like it was because she has really dry itchy skin. So I was hoping this would help hydrate her skin. Unfortunately I don't think it has made that much of a difference but we have only used it twice in 2 months since cats don't need much bathing. That said she does feel amazingly soft after she is all dry. Its difficult to keep it on for the 5 minutes with a cat so I will probably look at other options next time. I also find the scent to be a bit too much like your pet will definitely smell like it after, although it's a nice scent.

Really stops the scratching and smells great !

Only got the shampoo. No conditioner. Not the best oatmeal shampoo.

Pleasant to use, lathers well, leaving my dogs' fur soft clean and smelling nice, not overpowering. Some of my dogs itch a little and some don't. To be honest, if your dog is itchy, a once every two weeks shampoo isn't going to fix it. Identify the real issue to fix the itch. This shampoo works very well as a regular shampoo and which is what I use it for.
