Side by Side Comparison of: Four Paws vs Earthbath

Stinky cats be gone.......

Makes my two cats' coats shiny and soft. It thouroughly cleans their fur and is gentle on their skin. Plus the scent is light and airy. Love it.

Nice smell. Cheap. does the job.

My kitten wasn't great at covering up her mess in the litter box and needed some baths. This shampoo worked great. It lathers well, smells nice and leaves her smelling pretty for a while.

It works well and does not irritate kitty's eyes. She was calm when I washed her with this shampoo (for a cat.) It smells nice and her coat feels softer after use. She seems happier too.

While she doesn't /love/ it, she still tolerates it WAY better than other shampoos. She really starts to smell bad after a couple of weeks (she's a tad bit chubby [read: lazy] and gets gross over time), so a bath is in order whenever she starts stinking it up. I'll be buying this shampoo immediately every single time I run out. (Sorry kitty)

I purchased this shampoo the day I rescued my dog from a shelter. She was so stinky after we picked her up so we gave her a bath the next day. This shampoo made her coat instantly look so much better, and she didn't smell anymore! We have not experienced any skin issues after using this shampoo. It lathers up really well which makes cleaning her much easier. She smells great for a few days after her bath. We will continue to purchase this dog shampoo in the future.

I just bought a Yorkie pup and was told to bathe her hair in a shampoo & conditoner that contains oatmeal. So, I decided to try this one and I am so glad I did! I love the smell and coupled with the conditioner, her hair comes out shiny and soft!! The major seller was the "non-ingredients" which means it "contains no harmful ingredients that would harm your pet or the environment." Safe pup = Happy Mama!!

Best shampoo out there for dogs with allergies hands down! I have an american pit bull who's literally allergic to almost everything. In fact the vet is convinced he's even allergic to grass (I'm not paying over $300 to find out) he digs and scratches and eats his feet constantly to the point he'll actually make himself bleed and has gotten numerous skin infections. I've had to keep a bottle of steroids on hand to keep him from digging and biting until I found this shampoo. It lathers up very nicely and cleanses his coat throughly without overdrying or leaving any residue. I can always tell he feels better after getting a bath. He gets numerous compliments on how gorgeous his coat is. I no longer have to worry about him licking biting and digging himself to the point of drawing blood since finding this shampoo. Sure he still does some because it obviously doesn't cure the allergy but I truly cannot live without this shampoo! If you have a pit with skin allergies give this shampoo a try. You will NOT be disappointed. Our vet can't believe the difference. She wanted to put him on prescription medication for the rest of his life until I found this shampoo. It smells absolutely wonderful also!

We recently adopted a puppy and noticed he was itching himself constantly. Our other dog shampoo didn't seem to be helping, so I bought this based on the rave reviews and it's helped tremendously. Not only has it eliminated most of his itching, but he smells wonderful! And the best part is that it's all natural. I can't recommend this enough to everyone out there who is owned by a dog! :)

The pictures are to show how bad she would scratch and bite herself.This shampoo was great!! Every time I would bathe my dog her skin would always get so irritated and she would always scratch and bite herself so much that she would irritate her skin so bad. I tried using the Espree spray to calm the itching but it didn't work. I bathed her with just oatmeal and water, but it still didn't work. After I bathed her with this shampoo the scratching stopped. It's been a week since I showered her and usually she would've stopped scratching 2 weeks after her bath.This is the only thing that has worked for my dog.

LOVE IT! We got a kitten last summer that is a long haired mess. A long hair poo butt mess. So baths are pretty common over here. this shampoo works great, smells great & the cat doesn't seem to mind too!

My cat hates this, but I love it. It makes his coat soft and shiny. Bathing him is always a death sentence though. Maybe your cat will like water?

Smells really good and the cats coat is very shiny after use.

Smells nice! Our poor cats are going to be getting baths more often.

Worked great, soft smell, I wish the scent lasted on the cat at least 24 hours, but I guess the cat wouldn't have liked that as much as me.

This is a really good all-around shampoo. The smell is fine, nothing amazing, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It does smell very clean, and it doesn't seem to bother or irritate my cat at all. The best part is that her fur is so silky and smooth after being washed with Magic Coat. I would definitely buy this product again.

I bought this for my cats. I have researched several shampoos and was concern that I won't find anything that will not have any side effects for my cats. I'm so thankful I came across this product and after reading some of the reviews, I was happy that I bought this because it did not give any bad side effects on my cats and the scent is very mild. I have a tabby and domestic short hair and the shampoo works just fine.

The scent of the shampoo smells good longer than her other shampoo. Her coat is fluffier with this shampoo. She still scratches after this shampoo so I am going to start treating her for Hot spots. The shampoo did what it was supposed to do.

we rescue/foster dogs and always their skin is sensitive and often inflamed from a poor immune system. this shampoo was recommended to us and we have used it now for a few years. it doesn't irritate the skin, leaves them smelling good, and we use it with the conditioner too.

Seems to be helping my dogs itchy skin, lots of suds, smells good during bath. But a few days later, good smell gone and my dogs are stinky already. So, good for itchy skin, not good for lasting smell.

3.5This is one of my favorite product from Earth Bath. It lathers up really well, and has the most refreshing peppermint smell. It doesn't linger or anything after it's washed off, but I do feel like it helps eliminate a lot of odor from my dogs' fur.It is a bit drying though, so I HIGHLY recommend following up with a conditioner whether or not your dog has long hair/a lot of hair. When I don't and just use this product solo, I can tell that it dries out their coat. I know that a lot of dog shampoos have conditioners in them (2 in 1 or those oatmeal or aloe ones) or they are geared towards dogs with dry coats but this isn't one of them. I would still buy it for the smell though because like I mentioned before, it's great at eliminating tough odors.

This review addresses some issues raised in other reviews:Tear free reviews/questions: Before I used this on my puppy I tried it on myself. I didn't dump it in my eyes, but I lathered up my hands and let it get around and into my eyes as it would during a bath. It is a little uncomfortable, but did not hurt and rinsed out easily. I'd say it's fine to use on the dog's face.Scent: I hate perfumey smells and can get headaches from them. This smells great--kind of like cherry soda. The smell doesn't last long on the dog (don't know if that's a plus or a minus for people, but just mentioning it).Shipping: it leaked and was not packaged well. I could smell it before I even opened the envelope (yep--just shipped loose in a plastic bag in a bubble mailer). Could have been a huge mess.

No complaints. Smells good. My dog hates baths but she's never had sensitive skin or anything after using this and smells good after (for up to a week. She has so much fur!)

It's an okay product. I understand why it was so cheap. Not as good as the cat shampoo which has oatmeal extract in it.

Doesn't seem to be the same as their old formula and doesn't leave the coat as smooth and silky as it used to.

Its a regular shampoo. Didn't feel any difference in my little cat coat

Seems to have made my cat's coat shiny and smooth. It was a good price. A little disappointed that there was almost no smell. I wanted him to smell clean as well.

Doesn't smell as good as the last bottle of kitten shampoo I purchased (several years ago) They must have changed the scent. Still works okay.

I used the Magic Coat Tearless Shampoo on my 1 year Kitty and with was okay. I purchase this product because I had used it in the past (2008) and really liked it. This time, however, it did not seem to do anything for special. The Magic Coal shampoo is definitely tearless and the fur was clean but it was not soft or shiny. I would have further doubted the products efficiency but my cat is all white and her fur looked clean. The one thing I did not like was that the Magic Coat shampoo’s plastic bottle's opening did not come with a protective seal.

I mean it's affordable and it's shampoo. Idk what I was expecting. But it's basically sentless. So I will wash our short haired dog. And he will smell like wet dog. And then dry. She quickly smell like a dog again. Every other shampoo I have used tends to help the fur stay fresh at least for a day or so. It's just kind of blah. And doesn't lather well. Oh well. It works I guess. Haha

was not what my dog needed for his skin condition. the product was good quality, my dog had other allergies.

This bottle came cracked broken apart and leaking. The shampoo seems to work well for my dog but nothing special. I wish the bottle had come in tact and not broken and leaking. I would love to give this a higher review but for the fact that the bottle came broken and leaking I cannot

Bought for our lab puppy who has really sensitive skin. It was alright... the smell was a little funky, but it seemed to work okay on her skin. We have since switched to a vet recommended shampoo, for her skin condition is a little more severe than we originally guessed, but we use for emergencies.

The smell is a one star in my opinion, but I gave 3 because it works good. At first it smelled like strong cough syrup and not wild cherries. That was temporary though, because shortly after, it just smelled like a really stinky baby shampoo. Maybe I got a bad batch, I'm not sure. I will try other scents from this company.

I purchased this shampoo for my smaller dog and used it on my Great Dane also. Within a day I had to take him to the vet because he had hives. The vet confirmed it was this but uncertain to what it was that was in it that made him break out.BUT... It worked great on my small dog and he smelt fabulous!

Came in a sealed bag but it still leaked everywhere

Not impressed. She looked dirtier after this shampoo than before I cleaned her...Poor cat. Had to torture her twice because this stuff sucks!

This is a nice dog shampoo but didn't stop my dog from scratching.

Barely any suds. Have to use A LOT of the liquid for a small dog (mini dachshund). I can barely smell anything as well. Just not what I expected.

In my case, didn't work. After just one showering my pet spent 2 whole days scratching almost non-stop. Burt's Bees shampoo did him notably less harm in terms of allergy.

I got this specifically bc it was supposed to be gentle on the skin. I washed my pet and she got dandruff. :( WIll try again in a few months, and see if it irritates her skin again.

Not sure about the quality of the actual product as I only used it once so far. But the bottle cap was not securely closed. Leaked shampoo all over the plastic bag/wrapping. Given the cost of the shampoo, it's frustrating to lose 1/4 before the first use. So giving it a 2 star since the shampoo itself seems to worked fine. It lathered, smells good and seems to have cleaned our little puppy. Will unlikely to purchase again however.

I had high hopes for this product. Unfortunately, my English Bulldog began to lose clumps of hair which resulted in several bald spots. She may have been allergic to one of the ingredients. Once I stopped using Earthbath and switched back to my previous brand, her hair grew back and coat is beautiful again.

Received the wrong bottle. Different scent than I wanted and lid was broken.

I looove the smell of this shampoo. The scent is very pleasant and sweet and lingers on my kitty the whole day, which makes my house smell great too, haha. My cat is pretty much a dog trapped in a feline body. He loves to go outside and roll around, he chases his tail and gets into all kinds of messes. He also traps dust and dirt in his coat that makes my allergies act up beyond belief. Normally I'd have to bathe him every week but it's been over two weeks since we used this shampoo on him and he's still so clean! It makes his coat soo soft and almost "repels" filth haha. Can't go wrong with this price (and that smell!)UPDATE:As much as I wanted to love this shampoo, it unfortunately doesn't agree with my kitty. After the first use, I noticed he had a bald spot on his shoulder a few days later. I didn't think too much of it since he's rambunctious and tends to get himself into trouble. But he had a second bath a week or so later and the spot got bigger! I haven't shampooed him in about three weeks now and his patch is filling back in. The hunt for another bottle of shampoo continues.

My order came almost empty..

Hair fall increased, No smell and cats ar often irritated.

Our older cat needed a bath (first in her life - she was a meticulous groomer until her flexibility started to wane). So read the reviews (very positive for the most part). But how ANYONE can suggest the scent is pleasant is beyond comprehension. Smells like cheap industrial perfume that is used at sewage plants to hide the odors.Why do you any of you want your cat to be scented? I hate the smell and no amount of rising was able to get rid of it (the cheap scent is still on my hands after multiple washes hours later). I can only imagine what my cat thinks - if it's too powerful/unpleasant for me, it must be nearly torture for a cat with their vastly more sensitive sense of smell.Now my cat is desperately trying to rid herself of the stench (and that's what it is - a sickly cheap-perfume stench) and is grooming herself everywhere - been doing it nonstop for hours.

so every time I wash one of my cats with this she gets sick and has diarrhea. The other cat is fine, maybe it has something to do with long hair cats. I've used other cat shampoos in the past without problems

I had big hopes for this product but can not use this. Our dog had some sensitive skin. He didn't itch, but you could tell he didn't like to be petted down his back because he would kind of tighten his muscles. Our vet said it was probably allergies and just to give him a bath once a week with some oatmeal shampoo. We were doing that and it was working and ran out of the shampoo we had so I did some research and decided to try this. This may work for other dogs, but it was a terrible mistake for us. A couple hours after his first bath with it, he started itching almost constantly. The next morning we woke up to him with a large sore on his right cheek. He had scratched himself raw. This had never happened before. We debated to try again, we waited a night and tried again, thinking maybe it was a fluke and maybe he just got into something outside. The same thing happened but even worse. He couldn't even walk around he was itching so much. The sore on his face almost immediately got infected. So after first trying this product, withing 3 days we had him in the vet. He's now on antibiotics and some suave for what the vet called "hot spot" on his face. Maybe our dog is just allergic to this stuff, but I can't recommend this to anyone else. Use at your own risk.

Slimey product. Half wasted cleaning the bottle.

I picked this shampoo out for my dog as a Christmas gift because of all the good reviews and the natural ingredients. I washed her with the shampoo and within a few days I noticed she had bumps and was scratching a lot. Thinking I had accidentally washed off her flea medication, I waited the two weeks until I could reapply the flea repellent, then the extra 2 days until it was safe to wash her with the soap. I washed my dog once again with this shampoo and again she breaks out in bumps with dry skin. But it's a hydrating shampoo, right?! Not if the dog is allergic to it. The oatmeal shampoo triggered an allergy in her so that now after 4 years of the same food, she can't eat it without breaking out. Now she needs special grain free food- all because I washed her with oatmeal shampoo. My experience with this shampoo has been very negative and perhaps it will make someone reconsider giving their dog a new soap for Christmas. My dog was not very grateful for the gift

Did not work.

Didn't work as advertised, and my cat started losing a considerable amount of fur 3 days after I gave her a bath. It smells ok though.

Not impressed. Didn't see any difference in itching.
