A swim in clean water should look after most dirt in the coat. I'm not a great fan of shampoo for dogs unless it's needed to treat some condition or other. If the dog really needs a good clean up luke warm running water and a good rub down does the trick.

Was told by my vet that the best wash a dog can get is in bog water. Something about what it does for the skin and gets rid of any insects (fleas, tics)
