Doctor Leigh. I've been doing some research on the Garret Larriet Aromatherapy shampoo and all I've seen was great feedback from the people who use it on their dogs and I've asked is it safe to use on dogs with sensitive skin and hair and the manufacturer said that it is. Also how do I prevent water from getting in her ears?

I saw some good reviews as well so it sounds like a good product. I also like HyLyt shampoo. To prevent too much water from getting in her ears you should avoid spraying any water around her ears. You could take a small bowl and gently rinse the area around her ears and face while covering her ears and then use a towel to dry the area thoroughly.
