Side by Side Comparison of: AvoDerm vs Earthbath

works great & the difference between this & other products is like night & day

This is the best shampoo I have found for my dogs. I've been using it for a couple years now and won't use anything else. Being that I live in So.California, it gets quite hot here in the summer and my dogs suffer from dry skin during those months, well they did until I started using this shampoo, no more dry skin for them. They are black dogs and you can see how shiny and healthy their coats are from AvoDerm. I highly recommend this shampoo and conditioner.

I have been using this on my two little dogs for several years now. Prior to trying it, they were getting dry skin in the summer and I didn't like the smell of most dog shampoos. This smells great and they have had zero dry skin problems!

I have always used a top of the line dog products, but on the advice of a show ring trainer, I decided to try this shanpoo on my Cavalier. My dog's hair has never had the shine or softness that it does now. Great product

My boston terrier has allergies and has a very sensitive skin. She has always been a challenging dog to take care of since she was just a tiny puppy, but we've finally figured things out for her. This is one of the products we will be sticking to and swear by. We've been using this shampoo since she was only a few months old. We've tried a lot of dog shampoos before then and we tried one more shampoo after. Nothing works and the only thing that does is AvoDerm Natural Oatmeal. All the other shampoos made my dog very itchy and she looked like she had dry skin. She also had rashes on her belly and she was shedding badly. After switching to this shampoo, she immediately looked better. Her coat was shinier, softer, and it smelled so much better compared to other dog shampoos. She didn't had a "wet dog" smell at all.It also helped that we switched her to a healthy dog food. But I find that this shampoo makes a huge difference in her skin care. It's a weird thing, but I believe this product helps her skin and fur to be "hydrated" or "moisturized" if that makes any sense. Her coat just looks like it has a healthy/natural shine and it's very soft to the touch. When people pet my dog, they gush about how soft her fur is. I think her diet of healthy dog food (it has omega 3) and together with this shampoo, she just looks her best. No rashes. No itching. No shedding. Great product, highly recommended!

This doggy shampoo works wonderfully! It helps to keep my 3 toy poodle boys' fur super soft and shiny as well as smelling amazing! This is a really great product - I have never found a better shampoo for my boys! My boys are my life and I only want what is the ABSOLUTE BEST for them - this shampoo is one thing that is the BEST! Also.. my oldest poodle, Bosco, has had skin irritations/allergies his entire life.. THEY ARE GONE NOW!!! Bosco has stopped itching/scratching and no longer has to take meds from the vet! WHOOOO HOOOOO! *smile* HE is a HAPPY boy!

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!

I like the scent and my dog is as happy as he can be while getting a bath with this soap. However, I wish the scent was longer lasting. The groomers recommended I use a soap with tea tree oil rather than oatmeal for my dog, because he has skin issues and allergies. So, I think I will get a different shampoo next time.

I bought this for my pets and I loved it. The cats did great with it and it didn't irritate their eyes or stomachs like others have. Plus they smelled great for weeks!

Love this shampoo. It cleans well and smells great for days after using. I have used this product for my mini poodle for 1 1/2 years with great results and here on Amazon I was able to buy for $4 less a bottle than my local pet store

I don't like that the ingredients aren't listed on here. I feel like they're doing it to make a product that really isn't all natural look natural, and it's an issue if you or your pet have allergies. You can't figure out if you'll be able to use it or not.Strong, but nice smell.Good for dirty and oily coats, as this will really strip oil and dirt. Leaves coats soft, but pretty dry.3 stars if used alone, leaves no shine, because it strips so much oil. 4 stars if used with a conditioner.

I wanted something with avocado in it for my two terriers. They have completely opposite types of coats, but the conditioner and shampoo work equally well for both dogs. Smells nice as well.

One has to wet the animal before massaging in the shampoo. Other shampoos I have used could be suds up first and applied, then rinsed off. The difference is, my cat feels wetter sooner with AvoDerm. She gets ready to call it quits sooner. I know to have warm water containers ready to use before she notices how soaked to the bone she is. This shampoo makes her fur smell wonderful for days afterward.

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!)

I bought this after my vet recommended an oatmeal shampoo for my dogs itchy, irritated skin. As almost everyone has said, it does have a great smell. Light, but not overwhelming. It leaves her fur soft and shiny. Itching seems to have reduced but not to the point where I would buy again.

When I read reviews about products I used to scoff at people who said that the smell of a product got to them or something. That said this shampoo is wildly OVERpowering in its' scent. It stayed on my cat for days after and if I had another scent free shampoo to bathe him with I would have done so right away to get the smell off. It IS a good shampoo, nice lather, rinses well, conditioned his coat and soothed his dry skin, but I will never buy this again unless they make it in a unscented version. Just wanted to warn those with sensitive noses.

Was hoping to see some shine to my dogs fur. The product isn't bad. It would leave her fur soft. Perhaps with few more washes she will gain that shine.

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!

Not a great shampoo. The smell doesn't last & a couple days after giving my baby a bath, she smells like she needs another one & she's never been a stinky dog prior to this shampoo.

It wasnt sealed so the bottle came to me half empty

Smells like chemicals!

If I was rating this product strictly on how good my dog's fur smells after using it or how soft their coats are...I'd give it a 5-star review. But because it says "natural" on the product, which is why I bought it...and then it doesn't list an ingredient list on it I'm dropping it to a 3-star product. I called the company to ask what the ingredients were and the rep I spoke with said she couldn't answer that question because they were proprietary. She said she didn't even have access to the ingredients. But then she said if I had a specific ingredient I was concerned about she could answer whether it contained that ingredient or not. After I hung up I thought how could she tell me what wasn't in there if she didn't have access to the ingredients. I left my number with her for someone who could talk to me about ingredients.I think when you buy a product, you have the right to know what is in it, especially when it makes claims of being natural. If they have nothing to hide in their product, why not list ingredients?*Update* I'm dropping this to a 2-star review. Someone from the company returned my call and said that it "contains products that are not natural". And when I said but the bottle says natural on it, she said "It says natural but it doesn't say all natural" Well according to that logic, almost all products could say natural on them if they included some natural ingredients. When people see "natural" on a product, most assume it's all natural and I think companies rely on that assumption when they pull moves like putting "Natural" on a product even when they know it's not All Natural. I'd drop it to a 1-star, but I'll keep at a 2 for them being honest about it when they returned my call.The not-natural ingredients that she listed to me so I could look up were Sodium laureth sulfate, propylene glycol, and yellow 6.

Where is the ingredient statement on this product? I'd like to know if sulfates or silicone (or silicone type ingredients) are in this product. I have used it but I prefer to use other products that state what is in it. The description "natural" these days is meaningless.

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.

I wrote to the manufacturer, who claims the product is all natural, asking for a list of ingredients which, strangely, is not on the package. They REFUSED to provide the list. I would not purchase this for me, my family or my pets.

Stained my cat :(

Well, here is the deal with this product, I used this on one of my cats, and it was fine, and did what it said, it cleaned the fur without too much dryness. The next cat I bathed, my longhaired cat, did not fair well. Within 24 hours, he was losing his hair by the literal handfuls, and has bald patches all over from the intense itching. After almost $100 at the vet, and I had to rebathe him in a cortisone shampoo, he is still losing his hair, and I expect he will probably be bald by the next 2 or 3 weeks. Very upset, since this is a cat that rarely sheds a hair. Now I run my hand down his back, and come away with a handful of his beautiful hair. I called the company to report, and they could not even say "I'm sorry!" The very least they could do since my cat is obviously suffering. I feel horrible that even bathed him. He is 2, and this was his first bath. Wish I could give this shampoo and -5 rating!!!!!

When I got my stuff this shampoo was all over my other stufgf

I have a pure breed Yorkshire Terrier I bought the Shampoo and conditionner for my dog.Yes it was easy to brush his air but the after my dog started immediately to get dandruff.They say its natural but it's full of chemical !!!Avoid if you have a small sensitive dog THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

So as other customers have said, there are no ingredients listed on the bottle. I will never buy this product again. I am not impressed by the claims, I just want to know what ingredients are in this product. Why is this a secret? Isn't there supposed to be a law of some kind?

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.
