Overview

['This shampoo from Chris Christensen is an ultra concentrated formula, meaning the 16 oz container is meant to be diluted into up to 8 bottles worth of usable product rather than used straight, which is a different approach than most ready-to-use shampoos in this category.', "It's formulated with colloidal oatmeal in a lotion item form, unscented, and marketed for daily use across all coat types rather than being limited to a specific coat texture or breed.", "At $22.97 upfront, it costs more per bottle than standard shampoos, but the concentrate format means each container stretches much further. With 458 reviews and a 4.7 star average, it's a smaller but well regarded option, popular in grooming circles."]

Performance notes

The lotion item form and colloidal oatmeal ingredient are built for daily use across all coat types, and the concentrated dilution format means the effective cost per wash can be lower than the sticker price suggests, once diluted according to directions.

What buyers say

A 4.7 star average across 458 reviews and about 200 units bought in the past month suggests a smaller, more specialized customer base, likely groomers and owners who bathe dogs frequently enough to benefit from a concentrate.
