What is the best Shampoo for a ShitTzu puppy?

He is 6 months old? I'm trying to figure out the best way to clean his face....around his eyes and mouth. What are some tips that you may use to keep his face clean on a daily basis?What is the best Shampoo for a ShitTzu puppy?
Tropiclean products are great. They have a blueberry facial scrub that works wonders..Yes it's tear free..They even have a spa line a products..I use there products in my grooming salon it's a non soap based shampoo gentle and it's not drying to the dogs skin..Any one of there shampoo would be fine

for daily cleaning around the face, try baby wipes, easy to use and easy on him. for bathing, again, keep it simple, add baby shampoo to the bath water (which should be cool water), make it a bubble bath, put him in, after he has been brushed, soak him down, gently rub, then rinse well. After the bath, spray him with a leave in conditioner, and blow dry, brushing the hair as you dry it.
you should not have to bathe your dog unless he has been rolling in animal feaces or dirt or has fleas etc. For washing his face just used boiled, cooled water and cotton wool pads. Use a pad for each eye to stop cross contamination. Johnsons do do an under eye lotion for dogs if he tends to get runny eyes.


If you really need to bathe him use a puppy shampoo that you can get from your pet store. Human shampoos can be harsh on the dogs coat.
We use generic BABY SHAMPOO on our cats and dogs. It does not irritate their skin if it's not all rinsed off. Sometime we put in a little fabric softener or hair conditioner too. We have a dog that likes to roll in dead things and horse manure and this treatment kills the smell without irritation. DO NOT pour the softener directly onto the animal. DILUTE about two teaspoons into a gallon of water and then put it on the animal before rinsing. Does wonders for their coats too.
