“Sammy's never fussed about bath time, but this keeps his coat soft for weeks. Strong scent—note if your dog's sensitive to fragrance.”

Yorkshire Terriers may be small, but they can develop big skin issues without the right grooming products. This Oliver's Choice shampoo combines oatmeal, aloe, and shea butter to address everything from dry, itchy skin to that distinctive doggy smell that can develop between baths. Yorkies have sensitive skin that requires gentle, nourishing formulas rather than harsh detergents that strip natural oils. The oatmeal provides soothing relief for irritated skin, while aloe and shea butter moisturize that gorgeous silky coat Yorkies are known for.

The deodorizing properties keep your Yorkie smelling fresh without overwhelming artificial fragrances that can irritate sensitive noses. At just 4-7 lbs, your Yorkie does not need much product - a little goes a long way with this concentrated formula. Regular bathing every 2-3 weeks with a quality shampoo maintains coat health and skin balance. Your Yorkie deserves to feel as good as they look after bath time.

What owners say

From the reviews.

Oliver's Choice shampoo scores consistently high (4.6/5 across 7,142 reviews) with strong positive sentiment on cleaning, softness, and moisturizing. The fragrance is a dividing point—most love it, but roughly 9% of reviewers flag it as too strong or find their dog smells off after a few days. For sensitive or itchy dogs, the oatmeal-and-aloe formula performs well, with 77% of skin-irritation mentions positive. The main gripe is value per ounce, but customers often rebuy.

Customer questions

Things people ask.

Q01. Will this help my dog's itching and dry skin? +

Most likely. Of 121 reviews mentioning skin irritation, 93 were positive—customers report reduced itching and softer, less flaky coats, especially in dogs with sensitive skin or allergies. A small number (28 negative) found the itch persisted, so results vary by dog.

Q02. How strong is the fragrance, and does it last? +

The scent is notably strong (coconut, cinnamon, oatmeal cookie notes). While 752 of 828 fragrance mentions are positive, 76 reviewers found it overpowering or noted their dog disliked it. The smell typically lasts 4–5 days on the coat.

Q03. Does this shampoo lather well? +

Yes. 94 of 100 reviews specifically mentioning lather were positive. Customers report excellent sudsing and say you need less product than typical dog shampoos, which helps offset the small bottle size.

Q04. Is the 14 fl. oz bottle a good size? +

It depends on your dog's size. Most reviewers are satisfied, but several customers with larger or double-coated breeds note the bottle feels compact for the price. Many recommend buying two bottles at once.

Q05. Will my dog smell bad after a few days? +

Unlikely, but not impossible. One reviewer reported their dog reeked after 2 days, which they attributed to the formula reacting with the dog's natural oils. This is rare among the 7,142 reviews—most note the scent lasts several days without turning sour.
