Why Use Pet Shampoo and Not Other Products?
It might be tempting to use human shampoo or even household products to bathe animals, but this is harmful to animal skin. It breaks down their skin, making it easier for bacteria and parasites to attack. Using a specialized pet product to bathe a dog, horse or farm animals ensures sensitive skin is protected.
Sensitive Skin
Whereas human skin has 10 to 15 cell layers, dog skin has just three to five. Human skin can handle acidic products with chemicals that irritate dog skin. Harsh products cause dryness, leading to itching, scratching and then abrasions and infections.
MinkSheen is mink-oil infused to seal in moisture. Mink oil is rich in Omega-7, which supplies the skin with fatty acids needed for healthy moisture balance and repair, so important to sensitive skin.
How Often Should You Bathe a Dog?
How often to bathe varies according to breed and coat length, and also depends on lifestyle and habits. Dogs that play outside need more frequent baths. For mostly indoor dogs, especially short hair breeds, once a month is usually plenty.
Bi-Weekly: Dogs that play outdoors and like to roll around in the dirt, can be safely bathed every-other week with MinkSheen or as needed. Plain water rinses may be used on off-weeks.
Weekly: According to the AKC, it’s OK to bathe a dog weekly if a gentle pet shampoo is used.
Every few months: Double-coated breeds (such as Labs) have an oily double coat that insulates and waterproofs. These dogs may be bathed every few months unless they get smelly.
What Happens if You Bathe a Dog Too Often?
Shampooing with inferior pet shampoo dries out the skin and hair. MinkSheen is a gentle shampoo with natural oils that enrich coats and soothe skin, so frequent bathing helps the coat become rich and luxuriant.

No, sorry it is NOT tear free. Its a great shampoo for pets, gentle to the skin and coat, and has a long lasting pleasant scent, many moisturizers and emollients including mink oil. It is very gentle, but not tear free.
