Best Dog Shampoos of 2025

"I don't usually write reviews, but this stuff is amazing for my itchy pup! She has skin issues on and off, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I found this affordable shampoo. After just one bath, I see a HUGE difference. She's not licking herself anymore and is peacefully sleeping. The smell is a little medicated but wears off quickly. Her coat is shiny and soft. Highly recommend!"

"My dog has been so itchy for ages, with redness and dry skin. I tried many products without success until I used this shampoo. After just one wash, there's almost no itch and her belly is clearing up. The smell surprised me at first, but it’s not bad, and the results were worth it!"

"I've tried numerous products for my dog's skin issues, including expensive medications, but Veterinary Formula Clinical Care is becoming my favorite. After a month of consistent use, her scratching has lessened, and her coat is regaining its shine. It lathers well and is gentle on her skin. Definitely worth a try!"

"I've tried many shampoos, but this one is hands down the best! The ingredients are so pure and it smells incredible! I’ve used both cedar wood and lemongrass; they start strong but become much more subtle after. The lather is top-notch and my dog’s fur is so soft. I use it daily to clean her paws and ensure no toxins remain. No itching, no dryness—it’s an excellent shampoo. I highly recommend it!"

"This shampoo works great for my dog with long silky fur. I use it multiple times a week and find it less drying and far less irritating than others. It has a pleasant smell and foams up nicely, ensuring my dog is clean without needing a lot of product."

"I bought this shampoo last year and it was wonderful. My dog's coat became soft and silky after each wash. It lathers well and rinses off easily. However, the last time I purchased it, the appearance and smell changed, and it didn’t leave my dogs smelling fresh. I’m not sure if the ingredients were altered, but I’m a bit bummed."

"I absolutely love this flea shampoo! It has a peppermint smell, is easy to rinse out, and has no side effects. My dog's coat is soft, and it really keeps fleas away. I will keep buying this product."

"Following the instructions on the bottle, I left it on for 5 minutes. I noticed a dead flea in the tub after just about 2 minutes. The smell is wonderful, like essential oils, and most importantly, it does a great job at killing fleas. I'm really impressed!"

"This shampoo has been the best solution outside of taking my dog to the groomer. It works immediately, especially compared to other products I've tried. The minty scent is nice, but I do wish the bottle were larger."

"I have a golden retriever puppy, and I loved this shampoo. The bottle is simple to use, and she feels super soft after the bath!"

"Using this on my two older dogs, I found that it did not irritate their skin. They tolerated the bath well and didn't roll around afterward, which is a first!"

"As a Burt's Bees fan, I appreciate that it leaves my puppy soft, but I wish it wasn't so watered down. I would gladly pay more for a better product!"

"I've been extremely satisfied with this shampoo. My dog smells and feels clean after each bath, and the gentle fragrance lasts a few days. Most importantly, it has not irritated him at all. I will definitely continue using this shampoo!"

"I really like the light scent of this shampoo. However, I noticed that the fragrance fades within a day or two, unlike my previous Walmart brand that kept my dog smelling good for over a week. Also, when the bottle arrived, it had some leakage, which was a bit odd."

"This shampoo is fantastic! It effectively removes dirt and grime, leaving my dog smelling great once dried. The scent is very light and clean, and the coat feels smooth after washing. It's a good price and works as intended, so I would highly recommend it!"

"I purchased this for my dog who had a wound that wasn't healing. It really seemed to help! So much so that I used it on myself, a cut on my arm, which drastically improved the healing process! No stink, no sting, and the price was fantastic! Thank you for a great product!"

"After using a vet-prescribed anti-fungal shampoo for 6 weeks with no results, I decided to try this product. We've only used it 2-3 times so far, and already I've seen a significant improvement. My dog tolerates this shampoo better since it’s milder, and the flakes and odor have greatly reduced. I highly recommend it for fungal or yeast skin infections!"

"My dog started losing hair in patches and had excessive scratching. After using this shampoo, his hair grew back and he doesn't scratch as much. The nice smell and shiny coat are great bonuses!"

"This is the best dog shampoo I've ever used! My dog's fur is noticeably softer and smoother, and the scent lasts a long time. Even after running around, her fur stays bright white!"

"I've tried numerous dog shampoos for my chronically smelly pup, but this one has been a game-changer! It keeps him smelling like a flower and makes his fur soft and shiny. Totally worth the extra cost!"

"I really appreciate how well this shampoo works. It lathers nicely, and my dog's fur feels incredibly fluffy and soft. The only drawback was the strong scent at first, but it has grown on me. It's definitely worth the price!"

“I am absolutely thrilled with this shampoo! It smells AMAZING and makes my puppy feel fresh and clean. After a week, he still smells like he just came from the groomer. This is hands down THE BEST PRODUCT I’ve ever used for my pet. I’m sold!”

“With two active dogs, I was desperate to find a shampoo that worked. This product exceeded my expectations! My dogs smell wonderful and it gets them clean without irritating their skin. The scent lingers and my house smells fresh too. I’d rate it a solid 10 out of 10!”

“I’ve finally found the perfect dog shampoo! The scent is incredible and lasts for weeks, even after my Goldendoodles play outside. No more wet dog smell! I’m seriously considering buying it by the gallon because it works so well!”

"I absolutely love this dog shampoo! It has a nice, subtle smell, and my dog, who sometimes gets itchy, had no reaction to it. I definitely recommend it for anyone seeking a lightly scented and gentle option for their pup's skin. :)"

"After using the Dog Shampoo with Oatmeal and Aloe, I've seen a remarkable difference in my dog's coat and comfort. The oatmeal soothes my dog's sensitive skin, and the aloe reduces redness and irritation. It's a natural ingredient list, free from harsh chemicals, gives me peace of mind. My dog looks healthier, and the shampoo helps manage shedding, making it an essential part of our grooming routine."

"This shampoo works great! It has a mild clean scent, lathers well, and is a good price. My dog's coat looks shiny and feels soft. I’m really pleased with the results!"
