Which shampoos and conditioners are the best for dogs?

Well, the one I know from experience, is called Groomax Spa Dog Shampoo. They have both shampoos and conditioner, which is great! It makes bath time for your little fella more luxurious and is specially formulated because professional groomers would usually use this kind of shampoo and conditioner. It makes a dog's fur more rich, healthy, shiny, and smelling as every-day flowers. Each shampoo and conditioner comes in a 8 fl. oz. bottle and each has a scent of Vanilla Breeze, which makes it smelling fresh and great! I mean, you won't really smell the fragrance on your dogs for too long, but be happy that this shampoo and conditioner keeps their coat healthy! Overall, it's a wonderful product for most dogs, and if you want, you could use it on your pugs and labradors, but make sure they are not allergic first.
Which are best for labradors?

I absolutely do not have a labrador, but I went over my friend's house who has 7 blonde-colored labradors, and she told me that Vanessa's Dog Shampoo is specially made for labradors, and even retrievers. I looked it up online, and it sounds absolutely great and this is what it says:
Lavender Essential Oil is an antiseptic, pain
relieving insect repellent that works wonders to
balance out an oily or dry coat, reducing dandruff and fighting dermatitis and yeast infections as it offers natural deodorizing benefits.
Lemongrass Essential Oil is an astringent
antiseptic that helps to gently clean oily skin.
The aromatherapy properties of this formula
include calming and balancing, making this a
great formula for any dog that doesn't tolerate
a bath well. The benefits are felt by the bather, too!

Which are best for pugs?

I looked around online, and this is what I found. Go here because personally, I think this is a great gift for you dog that needs shampoo/conditioning: http://www.pugnation.com/shop.htm#pug_be... (scroll down where you find 'PUG BEAUTY'. Trust me, you'll see it if you look carefully. But, this is what it says for the shampoo/conditioning:
Vitamin enriched with pro-vitamin B-5. Demats and detangles. Rated excellent for use in hard and soft water areas. Contains natural anti-oxidant sequestering agent to help minimize buildup of trace minerals on hair shaft. Macadamia nut oil, almond oil, oatflour protein and cucumber extract for maximum skin and coat conditioning.
*These coat products for your dogs will not irritate their skin, unless they are NOT allergic, just so you know as a pointer.
HyLite is very good, I learned that from people who show their dogs.
A bit pricy, but you don't use much, so a bottle lasts. You can get it at some vets and online.
It's soapless, doesn't strip the coat or dry the dog's skin out - well worth the price.
Pugs and labs have very different coats. A lab, being a water dog tends to have a coat that is oily to repel water. Pugs you want to be more cautious about cleaning the wrinkles. On the lab at home I would use a bath scrunchy to make sure you get down under her coat or you could buy a rubber brush like tool from the pet store. I think both breed coats look nice and feel soft with an after bath spray like Mink Oil. It also helps reduce dirt But use a product like this sparingly or they will feel greasy.
I came across a line of products I absolutely love at a dog show a few years back. Specifically I use their product called Plum Silky. This shampoo is so gentle it can be used on puppies and kittens as well as adult animals, it smells great without a too heavy scent, conditions the coat and is very gentle on their skin. It comes in a 16 oz bottle and I follow the directions and dilute it 24 parts water to 1 part shampoo..it lasts quite a while. You can get it online or find a groomer in your area also perhaps by visiting their web site. I hate to sound like a commercial, but I really love this product :)

If you're worried about irritating their skin, puppy shampoos are really gentle.
