Well Eb needs a bath soon and the shampoo (Bark2Basics) I bought before I moved was the best stuff ever for helping her oily skin. At the time I got it, the shop told me to make sure I got a citrus, grease cutting shampoo for her which is the one Bark2Basics had. The problem is I am nearly out of it (sheesh, that 8 oz bottle lasted over a year it's so concentrated) and no one in this town sells it. It will cost more than the shampoo to have some shipped here so I am trying to avoid that given I only need a smaller bottle since it lasts so long.
So I was out looking at what is around (no Coat Handler or the others that most Cocker folks like) and it seems the shampoos I can find aren't specified for oily skin. They have all manner of different scents, ones for white dogs, ones for sensitive dogs, ones for you name it except oily skinned dogs.
In desperation I stopped in at a groomers to see what they used (thinking they could sell me some or tell me where to find it) and was informed that they use Dove dishsoap (diluted of course). Apparently this is the one they cleaned the oil off the birds and such in the Gulf with when the oil spilled and they told me it works really well when they a greasy Cocker too as the PH is very mild while it does cut oils.
So, before I try dish soap, I am wondering if anyone has heard of, or tried, Dove dishsoap who can tell me if it's a good idea or not. Otherwise any name of any good shampoo for oily skin that can be found quite easily in a smaller town with a bunch of shampoos that all seem to be listed by fragrance vs job would be appreciated. The real game is it has to deal with oil because of all the shampoos I tried over the years, the normal ones just didn't help that oily skin at all and she'd be covered in oily dust flakes in a matter of hours.
