I know it’s not for humans.  When I was bathing the dogs myself, however, I used Sulfur Tar shampoo for the itchy times.  It did seem to help, but came with the sulfur scent, of course.  So I used a conditioner in addition to attempt to neutralize that sulfur smell.  I felt, though, that it was more important to control the itchies than to worry about the sulfur smell.  No one else commented about smelling sulfur when I used Sulfur Tar, but I could smell it being close to the dog.  The warmth of the sun seemed to bring the sulfur odor out more to my way of thinking.

They told us in class not to use human shampoo on our dogs but that’s all I had to use. I got some great recommendations for dog shampoo from theNAGDU Facebook page. Do any of you have recommendations?
