Do you have to wear gloves when bathing your dog with this shampoo?

no. i don't see a need. it's not a harsh shampoo and my dog smells better than when i get her professionally groomed.

I can't remember if the bottle says to, but I don't. I've never had any bad reactions to it and a personal saying of mine is, if I can't use it with my bare hands safely, it can't be okay for my dog's skin. Of course though, you must wash it off thoroughly once you're done.

No, it's very mild and doesn't have a chemical or medicine-like smell/feel.

It doesn't so it is on the bottle. I washed my dog with shampoo, though, to get it off. You may want to ask the company.

I do! I think it works great for bathtime! The glove dries really fast, too. It's sturdy and yet soft enough to gently scrub and detangle at the same time...I have a Labrador Retriever, so no real long-hair issues though...

I generally use conditioner after the shampoo. Strawberry scented is especially effective.

No the product absolutely does NOT say to rinse it out. It plainly states the following: "Best results are achieved while using this product on a clean coat. Bathe pet using your choice of TropiClean Shampoos. Rinse thoroughly. Apply Tangle Remover liberally and massage into saturated coat. Dry the coat completely. Brush or comb out tangles." There is nothing in the directions that tells the user to rinse this product out. It simply states to rinse whatever shampoo you have used out before using this product at bath time. I don't know why people don't read the directions carefully on products and then make posts to confuse people. This is a really good product and it also plainly states "Can be used without bathing pet".

This type of shampoo is mainly used for allergies and sensitive scalp. If a dog has odor from these things, it works great. Also, the scent of the shampoo is really nice, so dogs smell clean and fresh after bathing with it.

No, but like any cleaning product you use carefully. I bought chemical resistant gloves & a wire brush at my local home store. And made sure I didn't get any on my skin, like any other caustic product Draino etc. All I can say is it does the job!

Yup. Hand washing is better but a gentle cycle with mild detergent does the job too

I hand wash my love glove in my bathroom sink (just use a not to harsh soap) I sometimes use a nail brush if really needs a good cleaning, to get in the crevices. Next, I gently ring it out and let it dry on a towel on my counter. Then it's ready to go!! Hope this helps ; )

No need for shampoo, it's a cleansing conditioner similar to Wen, formulated without sulfates and detergents so there is no suds/foaming like shampoo. It is nice, and a lot cheaper than Wen, but I found that it builds up on my hair, making it look dirty/greasy so I ended up only using it once in awhile. Personally I won't repurchase.

I am not a veterinarian, so can't say for sure. But, the shampoo seems fairly gentle. However, I can't think of a reason to use this shampoo on a pup. A regular dog/puppy shampoo would be a more appropriate choice. This shampoo was recommended to me by a canine dermatologist for treating a highly resistant bacterial skin infection. If your puppy is healthy, choose a different product.

I wouldn't. Too harsh. Better: 1/3 apple cider vinegar, 1/3 fruit-fragranced hand dishwashing soap, and 1/3 water. Much better than any retail dog shampoo.

It's a body wash. You use it like you would regular body wash, with your hands.

No, I didn't have that problem? I mixed with water and washed my pet's irritated areas with a wash towel. Even when you dilute with water it's still very soapy. You can use more water if you like, for example a tablespoon of soap to two cups of water. Once the irritated area is cleaned rinse wash towel with water and pat the soap off. Don't rub as it may hurt your pet's irritated area. Use warm water, so it's comfortable. I've even used it as a shampoo during my pet's bath (just one lathering) then her dog shampoo as the second lathering. This is my go to soap for all of my pet's skin issues, didn't have to put her on medications from the vet. No, I didn't have that problem?

I wash my dogs paws in a half gallon container when we come in (if it's muddy out). This glove is awesome because it hangs on the door and i can dry her paws right away and not have to look for a towel....super absorbent an easy to use...
