It took me 5 years but I finally found an exceptional shampoo for not only my Ferrets but my dogs also - I also found a great grooming spray. And my gosh it was all natural. The Shampoo contains 2% Colloidal Oatmeal and 1% Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (no artifical dye) and is in a detergent free base. The label says KENIC Oatmeal Conditioning Shampoo for Dogs, Cats, Ferrets & Rabbits. The conditioning spray has .75% Colloidal oatmeal and .50% Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein. Both are all natural. I happened upon the products at my local pet store (where I do monthly checks on how the ferrets are being treated). The bottle of shampoo had and 800 number on it. After using the shampoo and conditioning spray for two months I was convinced it was the best stuff ever - anyway in my opinion. My ferrets and the shelter ferrets look and smell wonderful - and nobody scratches anymore. Just thought I would pass this info along. Anyway the 800 number on the bottle is 800-228-7387 P.S. I liked the stuff so much I ordered a 1 gallon bottle of the shampoo and when I told them I had ferrets and ask about any type of odor control shampoo they sent me free samples of their Supra All Breed Odor Control Pet shampoo.
