Edit for clarification: it’s not the dirt that’s the problem it’s that he’s allergic to everything that we come in contact with when we hike- so it’s really that we have to get all of the stuff from the plants and the leaves and the grass and the dirt off of him.
Hi! So my dude gets weekly baths - he gets absolutely filthy from backpacking trips and hiking every weekend. Just rinsing or doing a brush out and spray does not help at all. He is also prone to hives from grass and plants (yes we have checked him out completely and he’s just “sensitive”), so we just do a bath every Saturday. I use Davis Grubby Dog right now- which I love- the smell lasts a long time (I double wash at correct dilution) and it doesn’t dry him out. I would love some other options though to have different smells that clean well, don’t dry him out, but have a long lasting scent. Also would love a rec for a conditioner without silicones
