PRODUCT REVIEW: DOUBLE K EMERALD BLACK DOG SHAMPOO

As a person who buys a lot of pet products I do find reviews helpful but so far have found none on this shampoo.
I originally purchased a 250ml bottle of this from a seller on Ebay.  I paid approximately £7.98 for it.  I am not tight when it comes to paying out for my dogs but I must admit that I was skeptical when I clicked the "buy it now" button as I have tried so called "professional" grooming products before and have been less than impressed.  9/10 times they left my pooches coats dull and scurfy so I was not expecting miracles from this one.
The shampoo is specifically for black coats and can also be used for horses and cows!  I had only one black and Tan dachshund at the time (I now have two) so it did seem a lot to pay out when only one of my trio of sausage dogs could actually use it.
When the product arrived I was immediately impressed by the smell.  It was fresh and clean without being over powering or too flowery.  I like my dogs to smell clean but often the fragrances added to the products are overwhelming not only for me but for their noses too.
I was also impressed at how economical it was to use as it dilutes 32:1 which is great as a little goes a very long way.  I must admit that sometimes I am lazy and have just poured a bit out and applied it straight to her coat but it has caused no problems at all.
It lathers up well so does obviously contain some detergent but is not harsh on the skin.
As the name "emerald black" suggests the shampoo is a black/green shade - not very pretty to look at but boy does it do what it promises!
When my dog was dry her coat was absolutely gleaming.  She smelled fresh and clean and was so shiny she honestly looked as though she had been polished and glossed.  No scurf or dry skin either!
As far as I am aware this product does all this without adding any dye to the coat which is great as I do not like any kind of harsh chemicals anywhere near my dogs.
An added bonus is that my dog stayed smelling clean for a good few days after her bath too which is unusual for my girls.
I would rate this product 10/10 which is very high praise.
