I'm looking for a shampoo that smells good after a bath, I've been using one from petsmart and the smell only lasts about 30 min :( I don't mind ordering online either

i second earthbath, i use the lavender with coat brightener on mine (it makes dodgers coat realy shine and even vixies red looks great) and they smell subtly like lavender for ages afterward!
The mango tango smells AWSOME too!

I third Earthbath :D - my favorite is the Oatmeal & Aloe, it has a really nice vanilla scent.

I agree! This stuff smells great and the vanilla scent lasts for a really long time.

I use Groomax Gentle Puppy. It's a No Tear formula and I like that. It also leaves their coat SOOO soft, and shiney. It smells wonderful. And the dogs smell like baby powder for days. I've been meaning to try earthbath though. I've had it reccomended to me many times, but haven't taken the time to order any. When I run out of Groomax, I plan to get Earthbath. But you can get Groomax at Petsmart, if you wanna get that while you wait for your earthbath. I'm pretty sure you have to order it online, but I'm not positive.

I fourth Earthbath! It's wonderful. It's definitely one of the best shampoos (if not the best) that I've ever used. My favourite is the Mango Tango one, but it can be too fruity for some people. The oatmeal and aloe one is my second favourite. The other ones smell great aswell though.
Buddywash is also very good.

I admit, I've even used it on my own hair because it smells so good. :D
I use Dr Broners, BD smells like peppermint for days, same soap I use myself all organic.

I'm getting the oatmeal and aloe one next.
The mango one smells good in the bottle but mixed in with the dog it smells kind of gross.. Maybe i need to wash her again with more soap?
I havent heard of alot of these shampoos, I use the same soap on myself as I do my dog. BD usualy smells better at the end of the day than I do.

That's strange...my dogs smell just like the scent in the bottle when they're finished.

I love Dr. Bronner's soaps! :) My husband uses the peppermint, I prefer the almond, or the unscented with a few drops of essential oil of rosemary added. mmmm! :)
I've used this soap for Quigley now and then too and it works well, but the earthbath smells yummier. :)

I've used Lambert Kay's Clean and Fresh for years . Buy it by the gallon ....cuts the cost down . Ollie's bath was a month ago and he still smell very nice .

I just got my first bottle of earthbath and I also got BIo- Groom creme rinse and The STUFF leave in conditioner. I used that stuff on Hannah last night and she is still soft and smells great. Holly just got a bath with all that stuff today and she smells great and is soft. It took care of Holly dandruff too. I used Dr Fosters and Smith's protein shampoo and the oatmeal conditioner before this stuff but all this stuff works a lot better on my dogs (and I was afraid it would make their coat's greasy).
Where can EarthBath be purchased?? Sounds great!!

You can order it at many online outlets, or directly from the company (earthbath.com), and Petco also carries it, but usually only a few items, not the entire line.

Well I ordered my earthbath online. I waited for 2 weeks to see if my petstore could order it for me and they couldn't so I had to order it online. Here is where I ordered it from http://healthypooch.com . It only cost me like $14 including shipping (which is the best that I seen it selling for online). I think it smells great (the eucalyptus and peppermint stuff). I plan to try all the different scents too but seeing as Holly had been getting really frequent baths I got a formula that said safe for everyday use.

I like Miracle Coat for Win... My boyfriend is really sensitive to scented things, but the Miracle Coat just leaves her smelling clean. And leaves her shiny too!
I ordered Mango Tango liquid soap and bar soap from a local groomer. If she can't get it for me, I am going to try healthypooch online. Thanks for the advise.
My dogs fur around his mouth and under his chin gets discolored, and no matter how well I clean it, it doesn't seem to look clean and nice. Does anybody have any idea how to get the discolored part clean, and kept nice? His fur is silver/white around his face/mouth.
Also, he has semi long hair.....we keep him clipped so it is not too long, and I brush him often, but in about a month, his fur looks like it needs a bath. I used to have yellow labs, and never had a long haired dog, so this is new to me. We didn't bathe our labs as often. Do long haired dogs usually need to get bathed more often? I am also thinking that some of the shampoos mentioned, may be good to use if bathing more often.

Haha I love the Earthbath cheering section going on here. It's great!
Just proves how awesome Earthbath is, really the best shampoos out there IMO. The only one I *dont* like is the cat shampoo, because it's got that fake, sickly sweet, cherry smell and I can't take it. I bathe my cats with Mango Tango ;)

I bathe my dogs once every couple weeks, and even they have relatively low-care coats. I'd say when his fur starts looking a little dingy, it's time for a bath. Once a month is actually rather infrequent for the poodly type breeds.
any ideas about cleaning the discolored area around the mouth on a long haired dog??
After ordering Mango Tango Earthbath from California, I happened to check again at a local specialty store close to here, and they just got some in. So I couldn't wait, and used it this morning. It's awesome! It is a great consistency to work with, great smell, and with the conditioner already included, it saved me another application and rinse, which by the time I am putting conditioner/rinse on him, he is looking for an exit! His fur is nice and soft, and he smells great. Thanks for the suggestions. I may try some of the other shampoos suggested as well sometime. Still can't get the stain off from around his mouth, and still hoping for some good advise.

theres some products out there like diamond eyes for clearing tear stains, try a product like that for the mouth staining. a gouple of groomers ive known have done that and its worked real well! others it took a few aplications and others it didnt help, but it might be worth a try!

it comes in a clear bottle and the liquid is clear i believe..
On a side note, I just washed my dog again and she still doesnt smell like mango tango. She smells like a dirty dog with a fruit scent that tries to mask the odor (not too well).
Does anyone know if any of their other products have a stronger smell?

I find that really odd, as it sticks to my dogs' coats very well and it also cleans them extremely well. I find the Mango scent to be quite strong, actually. All of their products seem to be relatively the same as far as strength goes.

it does make her coat VERY soft and silky, but the smell just isnt there.
Maybe i'm not using enough?
Someone mentioned to me it might be the fact that the dog is going through detox with the new food. I switched from kirkland signature to evo. I dont know how much truth that statement holds though.
