Our groomer Lynn (who is a talented national certified master groomer)and uses Muttineer at her salon shared this tip. On dogs with thick fur, use a scrubby while shampooing--it does a great job of debraiding (exfoliating) dogs skin and works well to deliver essential oils into the skin!
I'm going to try this today. We just received our Muttineer with Neem and I'm thrilled for the opportunity to stop using the garbage available in stores! As a side note, while reading all of these posts on pets, I am wondering if this is why my dog has always despised bathing and ALWAYS tries to roll after a bath. I feel like such a fool!!!!
