B Cal City, Illinois 2/17/2013 9:58:57 AM Dawn is what is used to clean animals after an oil spill. Not only is it safe, but it's effective for dogs. Out groomer follows the Dawn shampoo with an oatmeal shampoo.
Taylor Orange Park, Florida 11/21/2012 5:34:40 PM My groomer uses Dawn original scent and then follows it up with an oatmeal soak/bath since my dog gets dry skin in the winter and she comes out so soft and smelling great! She loves it!
MaLisa Fernandina Beach, FL 3/13/2011 7:30:45 PM Two of our local shelters and a couple of our groomers use the blue Dawn dish detergent to kill fleas and to whiten white dogs. I was told the blue Dawn is the only one that works. I would love to find any shampoo that kills fleas that well. For a bad bout of fleas we wet, them soap them up with a thick lather, let it sit for about two minutes and rinse. If I see any move I lather them up again. I have never had to lather more than twice to kill ALL of the fleas!
Amy Watertown, NY 3/5/2011 1:28:03 PM Dawn dishsoap works great and I wouldn't hestitate to use it instead of pet shampoo. I think it is much more gentle and doesn't dry their skin as much. Many professionals use it when they must bathe an animal more then normal.
mimi Southport, NC 3/3/2010 8:34:59 AM Our vet also recommended dish soap to bathe our dog. The first time I used it was to combat a bout of fleas and it worked very well. I am so surprised how beautiful his coat looks after washing him, I am almost tempted to try it on me!
