Hi everyone. I have to bathe Kasey every week because of allergies. I have always used Veterinarian's Best Hypoallergenic with Aloe shampoo. But it costs $13 for 16oz, so it's costing me a fortune to use every week. Do any of you buy a good hypoallergenic shampoo online in a gallon size that you like, and that would be good for a sensitive skin dog? This one is not available in that size - at least that I can find.

At work I use Double K's Groomer's edge hypo + for dogs with sensitive skin. It dilutes 15:1. When bathing that often I also use a conditioner called moisture magic from the same manufacturer that dilutes 1:4.
Any hypo shampoo will be scentless, tearless, and should be able to clean well at the same time. So far of the five or so lines I've used Double K and Tomyln were the only ones I've found that to be true for.
Buy yourself some mixing bottles. It'll save your wallet and your wash time.
Well I found your current shampoo for $35 for a gallon here... But it is to be used at full strength.
When I was grooming, this is the hypo shampoo I used. It dilutes 15:1, so essentially you get 15 gallons for $25 bucks. It is what you would get if you took him to a groomer and asked for a hypo bath...
ETA: HAHAHA! We use the same stuff Melissa! Who would'a thunk!
I've used these products for several years and like them. I always dilute any shampoo in water and then apply this soapy water to the dog, rather than applying the shampoo directly to the wet dog. You use less shampoo and it's easier to lather and rinse.

Thanks you guys for your recommendations. Jessica, I was excited to see that you found the vets best in that gallon size! It actually is made to be diluted, it just doesn't say it on that website. The directions on the bottle say to dilute 1 oz in 1 cup or more of water, so I always dilute it quite a bit - it's also easier to soap him up that way since he's a golden and has a lot of fur.
Anyway, I ordered the gallon size from that website - it will cost half as much as buying it in the 16oz bottles. Thanks again!
