I find it to be drying to the skin so I don’t recommend it as a regular shampoo. If his coat is oily then it could be ok. If you want to use it up then alternate baths with it and a mild shampoo such as aloe and oatmeal. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Tucker.
