They all get bathed at the kitchen sink (I use lots of Clorox Cleanup to sanitize afterwards). Zoe at least once per week, Chase about every 2 weeks & Goldie, whenever. I need help with Goldie. I'm searching for better products for Zoe. Will probably try the Pet Silk as soon as I can order it. Chase has a skin problem so use a medicated shampoo for him. Anything works on Goldie.

Marilyn, did you get my PM on YT about the shampoo and the website?

I just use a nice oatmeal shampoo/conditioner from petsmart. Most of the time I end up using my own shampoo.

I feel your pain! LOL Diesel is very easy to bathe. SHEP on the other hand is a handful! Emily and I BOTH had to take showers after giving him a bath!

WHen I had our black lab I used to give him a shower on our deck with the out door shower... He shed every where and I wore half of it! YUCK! My daughters friend came over once while was giving him his shower and there was black hair all over the deck... her friend said ewwww what is all tht black stuff!!! I was like his fur... he is shedding!!!!

In the winter I was forced to use the shower but I really didn't like it!!!!

That is kind of like our Penny (Golden Retriever). I have to put one of those screen things in the drain and empty it a dozen time or more so it doesn't clog up the drain. I brush and comb her real good, but that hair just doesn't stop coming out. You'd think she would be hairless by now. On a Golden the hair is a bit longer than on a lab and it flies everywhere.

I've seen medication that you can buy (Fosters & Smith) to stop the shedding, but I've always thought it wrong to medicate for something natural that they do. I'm just not one to medicate me or my doggies unless it's necessary.
