My little JRT has an all white coat, which means after nearly every outing, even just around the street, she comes back not only with dirty paws but with a dirty tummy, even with a coat that covers it and so needs a bath, usually a few times a day. I don't like to constantly use the same shampoo and as I had never seen one for a single coat dog, hers is short and single, I was really pleased to try this one and am happy to say it has now been added to my rotation of shampoos.It smells nice and my dog is happy with it, no scratching after use, sneezing or turning away as if trying to remove herself from the scent. She happily lets me use it on her. It gives nice foam that really does clean her coat - when you rinse off, you see the foam is dirty, carrying the dirt away, leaving her with a lovely clean coat. She sheds all year round, although admittedly this time of year (November) not as much as she will in warmer months, but since using this shampoo, I have noticed that she is shedding less hair than usual ( at 10 now I know how her coat acts throughout the year). Definitely a shampoo that will be used regularly from now on.Her coat actually seems slightly thicker since starting to use this shampoo and it is not her winter coat coming in, that will not happen until the weather is much colder and then it's not much thicker. It is nice to have a shampoo that is especially for her coat, just like we like to have a shampoo for our type of hair. This brand has the correct shampoo for every dog's coat, which I think is so good.
