  1. I use John Paul (co-founder of Paul Mitchell) Tea Tree Shampoo. It’s about $10 and works great for my Labradors who have skin allergies. It leave their coats soft and great smelling!

  2. I would also recommend to brush your dog regularly with a flea comb. I also used Adams Plus, it’s great and after using his hair was really soft and shiny after.
