So I got my biogroom shampoos in the mail this week and decided to give them a try. Because I have three types and three cats, I used one on each.
I have: Kuddly Kitty (KK), Silky Cat (SC), and Purrfect White(PW).
I used the Purrfect White on Niles (light red tabby SH), the Kuddly Kitty on Frazier (black/white), and the Silky Cat on Toby (brown tabby).
I used a standard bath procedure, wetting all cats down, soaping them up, rinsing (about twice as long as I soaped them up), rinsing with a vinegar rinse, then rinsing again.
I'll rank them in the following catagories on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the best.
1. Smell in bottle (all had the same, light scent...can't really describe it)
All: 8
2. Tearless
KK Yes
PW NO
SC Yes
3. Ease of rinsing (same for all, easily rinsed out, no "residue")
All: 9
4. Coat feel right after bath
KK 7 Felt somewhat dry
PW 7 Felt somewhat dry
SC 8 Not as dry feeling
5. Coat feel after drying
KK 8 Least soft of all and seemed to strip more oils from the coat, but
still far better than any other cat shampoos I've used.
PW 9 Not as soft as SC, but still very smooth and not dry feeling
SC 10 very smooth and soft (softest that I've ever felt this cat)
6. Coat "sheen" after drying
All: 9 Shiny, not "gleaming", but you can tell that it didn't strip all the oils from the coat.
7. Smell on cat after bathing/drying
KK 8 More smell left than PW, but not very smelly
PW 7 not much of the shampoo scent left
SC 8 about the same as KK
Overall I was very happy with the way that biogroom performed. Ease of rinsing and non-offensive odor were great. Plus, the fact that it didn't overly strip their coats of oils was a big plus. With other shampoos I've used it's taken the cats DAYS for their coats to feel soft again (instead of just the dry/clean feeling). With these it just took about 2 hours for them to fully dry and their coats were softer than they were before bathing.
I'd highly reccomend this shampoo line. Now if only they came in different fragrences.
FYI, I'm not sure on how the purrfect white effected nile's color, if at all. But it did make his coat look better.
