| Hair Spray on Yorkies Has anyone ever used human hair products on their little one's coat, hairspray in particular? I took Kaylah to the groomer yesterday (tried a new person) and she told me to use Happy Hair spray/sheen on her coat. It is a human hair spray, but I heard that you should not use human heard products on yorkies. Kaylah's looks better than ever, but I want tomake sure it is safe for her. Has anyone ever heard of Happy Hair? If so, what has been your experience?

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I personally would not do this. It could irritate their skin and I can imagine that after a while it would start to leave flakes in their hair I never use human hair care products on my babies - stick to the doggie stuff Petsilk makes a great top knot Gel, so I've heard!

| You absolutely CAN use human hair products on most dogs. If you dog has a known sensitivity to topicals then the Ph balance found in many of our own hair products may be too much for them. As with anything, be observant of any negative changes. Personally, if I have run out of my dog coat products, I will certainly use human products as needed, haven't had a single issue yet from Yorkshire Terrier to Irish Wolfhounds. If it's hairspray that you're using, be sure it's in a well ventillated area and you cover their eyes and move them out of the residual mist as soon as you can. Just like you'd do for yourself. If the hairspray is for a topknot, what I like to do is actually spray theh hairspray ON THE COMB (metal) first, just a spritz or two works, and then comb the dampened comb through the hair as needed for hold. ....and then I bathe my little critters with a non-soap shampoo product to remove any buildup from their coat that night and put in a conditioner as needed. |
