Review: Harry Barker Shampoo and Conditioner
We’ve always used oatmeal shampoo with Pom Pom because she has extremely sensitive skin. It’s been awhile since we’ve had to give her a bath ourselves (she gets groomed regularly), but since our beach trip both Pom and Casper have been itching like crazy.
When we noticed that Casper’s skin was bright red all over, we decided it was time to have a doggie spa day at our house.
I grabbed some Harry Barker Oatmeal shampoo and conditioner from work on the recommendation of my groomer. Not only does it smell fantastic, it worked like a miracle – Casper’s skin has turned back to normal coloring and he hasn’t scratched since, and both the dogs’ hair are so soft and, well, voluminous! More impressively, the conditioner really did some magic by preventing tangles from forming, which made brushing a breeze.
An added bonus was the fun I had while bathing the dogs – the whole process of bathing, drying, and brushing and blow drying was a great Mommy-Doggie bonding time…plus, it was a fun activity for Dustin and I to do on a Saturday morning (seriously!).
Beauty does not come cheap though…each bottle of Harry Barker-ing goodness costs $14, for a whopping total of $28 for the set. But if you’re looking for something that smells good, soothes your baby’s irritated skin, and will give you some quality time with your dogs, this is definitely worth the money.
Pros: Scent, quality, bonding time with dogs.
Cons: Price, separate bottles for shampoo and conditioner = more time.

Each bottle of Harry Barker Oatmeal Shampoo is equal to 3 bottles tho since it is concentrated. It is 3 parts water to 1 part shampoo so you are getting 3 bottles for $14 actually a really good deal. Also, it’s a non detergent shampoo so it won’t strip off your dogs flee medication like other shampoos. Ever wonder why your flee medicine doesn’t work after a bath…get a non detergent shampoo. LOve this stuff and sell it like crazy!!
I think I might have to give in and pay the price. Do you have to go somewhere special to get it, or would PetSmart carry it?
LexiDog Boutique at the 5th st market carries it. We are out of it right now because it is so popular! I had 3 bottles in and they were gone in a day. We should be getting it in soon, don’t know what other store sell it though. If you give Lexidog your number they will call you when it comes in tho and hold a bottle for you.
For people out of state (of Oregon), I wonder if Harry Barker’s website has a store locator link? I’m really not sure if Petsmart or Petco would have it….
You can buy it on their website harrybarker.com or go to the bottom of the web page and it has a store locator.
Thanks ladies!
Harry Barker Oatmeal shampoo/conditions is the best. It is not sold in chain pet store. Best way to find store is through store locator at harrybarker.com.
Angel (3.8# yorkie) itches like crazy if I use other kind of shampoo. The conditioner keeps her long hair tangle free. The initial cost is expensive but both products can be diluted; shampoo about 3 to 1 and conditioner 4 to 1 which really makes it very reasonable.
