Exelpet Shampoo

Dangerous product – I purchased the shampoo with Tea Tree Oil and shortly after using it my dog had severe gastrointestinal symptoms, vomiting and diarrhea and on examination by a vet gastrointestinal bleeding. Apparently Tea Tree Oil can have this effect on some dogs but there was no warning on the label. I have used there other shampoo products for flee control but I would be cautious about using this Tea Tree Oil shampoo and suggest that they make some reference to possible adverse effects on the label .

It made my dog very sick.

Bad – This was okay. It was not the worst that I have used but was no way the best. It was cheap and easy to find. It seemed to make my dog sctracth after using it so I am guess it irritated his quite dry skin. I did not like the smell as I found it quite strong and almost medicated in scent. I would use this if desperate but would prefer other brands Easy to find at larger supermarkets and pet stores, inexpensive It did not seem to last very long. This made my dog quite dry in the skin.

Good – I often buy this brand as it doesn't irritate my Labrador's skin, as he often as skin issues. It's gentle and a reputable pet brand and left the hair without tangles and easy to brush after washing. Didn't have the medicated smell some doggy shamppos have. Easy to find, always in stock, doesn't have the medicated smell that some dog shampoos have, leaves coats soft and easy to comb, no tangles. Probably over frothy is the one issue, which normally indicates a high soap content not great for hair, but it seems to do the jobs and doesn't irritate the dog's skin.

OK – Is a better option the using human shampoo on dogs, however if you can afford it get a better product. It really irritated my dogs sensitive skin, and washing needs to be done more frequently. Use a conditioner with it to ensure hair and skin doesnt dry to much. Affordable, easy to buy at the local shops. Did nothing for my dogs, it irritated their skin and smelt awful.

Good – A great and low cost shampoo for all dogs. Removes fleas and helps reduce itching. Hair easy to brush afterwards and leaves it very soft and shiny plus great smell. The shampoo soaps up alot and also rinses out really well. Great priced shampoo, last forever because it soaps up alot and rinses out easily. Leaves hair so shiny and easy to brush afterwards. Seems to keep fleas at bay as my dog doesnt scratch at all afterwards. Seems to be gentle on skin. Comes in good sized bottle and always found at supermarkets. Has good smell aswell and helps to deodorise.
