Though some formulas can be used on most skin and coats, it is important for groomers and pet owners to consider these factors before selecting products:
- Condition of the skin and coat
- Breed of dog
- Age of dog
- Health-related needs (such as flea and tick issues)
- Quality of shampoo
- Cost
- Ease of use: How easy is it to lather and rinse out?
- Is it soap-free?
- Is it cruelty-free?
- Is it biodegradable?
- Is it dilutable?
