FURminator has extended their product line beyond their deshedding tool, with skin and coat products like the TubNub Bathing Brush
I am a big fan of waterless shampoos, as Lula becomes very oily and dirty quickly, especially when she's outdoors so much in the summer. I hate hoisting my 85Lb. dog into the tub every few weeks, but we can certainly cut down on regular baths by doing short clean ups with a waterless shampoo. FURminator's waterless shampoo ($9.13) has a very clean, pretty scent, and really softens the fur and reduces that "dirty dog" feeling.
I've never tried a tub brush before, but we did a combo with the Tub Nub ($9.50) and the de-shedding shampoo for Lyger's last bath. The shampoo was light and clean and did seem to help his coat. The Tub Nub helped me massage the suds and pull out that nasty loose hair that falls out in the tub. I think the rubbery nubs grip the fur a bit to help pull the loose fur out.
One of my pet peeves is having a handful of wet dog hair--I hate how it sticks to my fingers! But the tub nub caught a lot of that hair before I had to touch it. And, because I could just shake the fur off into the trash, it cut down on the amount of fur that I had to clean up in the tub or going down my drain.
As always, my dogs enjoyed the FURminator products. The smells and tools are gentle and safe, so your pets won't dread tub time.
