I bathe my bassets in Dawn dishwashing soap. Being typical bassets, we were forever fighting inflammations...when we tried the Dawn soap the inflammation and "basset smell" stopped. (If it's gentle enough for a baby duck, it's good enough for me ) It works wonders for fleas too (but only the green apple scented one)...we never use chemicals or treat the yard because of my allergies so finding stuff like this has been great
