Soap free shampoo is great if your dog's skin is at all sensitive to drying and itching whenever it is bath time.
Things to consider: Your dog's reaction to shampoo, age of the dog, and bathing frequency.
Stay Clean - Soap free dog shampoos prevent itching, hot spots, dry and flaky skin, and problems with bad D.O. (doggie odor). It is amazing how many people will get their dog nice and clean and then put a dirty dog collar back on them. Your dog should always have two dog collars and leashes each. That way, when he gets a bath, his collar and leash get one too. In addition, while they are going through the laundry cycle, you can put your fresh, clean, spare dog collar and leash on your fresh, clean dog.
Puppy Shampoo - As a puppy's skin is even more sensitive than the already-sensitive skin of an adult dog, and since soaps can be dry and irritating to a young puppy's delicate skin, soap free and detergent-free dog shampoos are among the most puppy safe.
Frequent Baths - If you bathe your dog frequently (like more than once a week) consider dog shampoos that can be diluted and are less irritating on your dog's skin, like those dog shampoos that are soap fee.
