There is no one best shampoo, but make sure to buy a shampoo from the pet store, and if you are bathing him frequently, then you should get one with a conditioner in it so it doesnt dry out his skin.

How often you bathe him really depends. If he's anything like my saint was as a puppy, you'll be bathing him everyday because he'll get him on his fur  ::)

Please use a Soap Free shampoo!!!! With all soap free shampoo's  you can wash as often as needed! The Soap creates flakes and itchy skin.  I use Plum silky by Nature's Specialties www.naturespec ialties.com  once every 4 weeks and to clean up the little messes I use Earthbath puppy. www.earthbath. com
Remember if you use a topical flea/tick control all shampoo's with soap will wash them off.
One more thing BRUSH well all the time and right before a bath! This helps with less hair all over your arms and down the drain!
