Oatmeal Dog Shampoo

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.

Really stops the scratching and smells great !

Exactly what I needed! Great quality, fast shipping, and works even better than expected. Definitely worth the purchase.

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!

Great fragrance me pet loves it

As a preface, I have contacted the company directly to explain the situation, and they are aware of the severity, the lot number on our bottle, and the order. They were very concerned, and are looking into the lot for the shampoo. The company was very understanding, and returned the cost of the order per their satisfaction guarantee. Our 5 month old puppy is an Australian shepherd blue Heeler mix, and so has a double coat that’s hard to identify when issues arise. We noticed about a month ago or so, after we started taking him to the parks once his puppy shots were completed, that he was having scabs on his back (nowhere else). At that time, we also started bathing more due to the dirt and saliva that accumulates when dogs play. At first, we thought maybe he had gotten bit or scratched, and that it would go away. Then, the patches started to get bigger. This past weekend we decided to try scrubbing his back to make sure it was getting to the skin and cleaning his skin and coat when we used it. And then it blossomed to the point of almost incapacitating our puppy to where he refused to move or be touched. We went to the vet yesterday (9/23/20), and they shaved him to get a clearer look at the issue. They were able to determine it wasn’t bacterial or parasitic, and was instead a very terrible allergic reaction. The vet noted, too, that since it was only on his back and not his belly or legs, that she was thinking it was the soap since we usually spread the soap along the backside. While I know that I can’t blame the company for not knowing since it’s one dog out of many based on the reviews on Amazon, I at least wanted to give a heads up that there may be something in the formula that can cause a very large reaction, especially in double coats that are difficult to see when a reaction is taking place. So you may just want to be aware when purchasing. Overall, the experience with the Pets Are Kids Too Customer Service team was timely, understanding, and responsive. While this product did not work out for us, I do appreciate an honest and responsive company making it right for their customers.

I'd give you 10 stars if I could, honestly. Let me explain! My AHT (American Hairless Terrier) Pepsi developed a severe yeast infection which I now believe was due to the shampoo I was using on him which adversely affected the pH balance of his skin resulting in itching and dark black mottled patches all over his body. He would have moist hot spot all over, too. In short, this "infection" seemed to have bloomed overnight. I had noticed some dark patches in the past but they were never really a bother. I hate myself for not realizing I needed to change shampoos sooner! I would have saved him some misery! At first, I tried Mycoseb thinking Pepsi had a yeast/bacterial infection but to no avail. In fact, he got a little worse using Mycoseb. I then tried your shampoo and I'm glad I did. After the first bath with your shampoo I noticed a difference in the softness and texture of his skin and so did he. He was calmer and he slept better, too. As you may know AHT's are hairless - it's all skin with him! He is my skin baby and I love him a lot! He is so loyal to his daddy! I just about do anything to make him happy and content. Let me tell you, Pepsi is getting so much better after using half a bottle. I am beginning to see patches of clean, soft, clear skin, as it should be, instead of rough black, mottled areas in his armpits and on his back, neck and chest. I could squeeze an area and black things would come out of his skin. He had a few lesions that were pustulant, as well. The GREAT news: his infection is clearing up and there is improvement after every bath. I currently wash him whenever he gets moist and "yeasty". He is now going longer periods between baths. I want to thank you for a great product. Sincerely, KJ Rodrigues (and of course Pepsi)
