| PEK IV San Bernard conditioner Hi all! I just got my very heavy box from IV San Bernard. I am really excited to bathe Bella and see how she comes out. I have heard people saying they MIX the pek conditioner with water?? How much water to conditioner?? Also how long to let it soak in her coat before rinsing?? I also got the mink oil, and it says to mix with shampoo, but doesn't say how much to mix. Anyone use these two products and have a good idea for me?

| I can't remember how much I mix to make my spray....I have the ratio written down at home and I'm at work darn it. And I've never tried the mink oil, so I can't help you on that either. But, if you're using the PEK as a straight conditioner after shampooing (which I do) you need to leave it on for at least 5 minutes - preferrably 10. The longer you can leave it on the better your results will be. Can't wait to hear what you think. Bonny

| 5-10 minutes? How do you keep your dog comfortable while waiting? I give baths about once a week...and try to go as fast as I can. I am wanting to get the Pek, so I too am interested in how to use it.

| Thanks Bonny!! Yea Bella won't be too excited to sit wet for 10 minutes, but I THINK what I will do is PRETEND we are all done with the bath part, and sit in her towel for the 10 minutes, and then just rinse off. I am so excited to try this out! I got the BIG jug so I better like it. LOL

| All I can't say is....I can't believe I haven't been using this product PEK conditioner the whole time....I love love love it...it was so easy to brush her out, like going thru butter. I will never be without it again. I took a tablespoon full and mixed in about 1/2 cup of hot water...made a thick paste...rub it all thru her hair and let it sit for 5 minutes than I rinsed her leaving some in and I blowed dried her...love it and I also made a spray bottle full a lot thinner to use when I brush her out daily...again love it This is my Bella after her bath, look how shinny she is and its been 5 days now and she is still just as shinny and solf

| I didn't know there was any special formula for mixing with water? I just took a tablespoon and put it in the spray bottle, a couple of squirts of mink oil and shake it up before using. I would not give a bath without it. I have tried more than 15 different products and this beats them all! I have 3 different breeds and it works well for all. |

| Well I must say......it is very very good!!! Bella looks fantastic, and was pretty easy to comb out. (I hadn't done a thorough, comb through in a couple of weeks, and the matts weren't hard to get out at all.) Bella is a bit PO'd at me right now however.....we on top of the long bath, TRIED to clean the eye goop. (PSYCHO DOG, OMG, another story all together) PLUS we used the blow drier, which she hates, hopefully she will forgive me by tomorrow.

| I keep hearing such good things about this product- but am so concerned about spending $75 just to find out- ugh! I might just have to take the leap some time!

| I did buy a huge jug. If you would like a small sample I can send you some for the cost of shipping, so you could see if you like it. Enough for a few baths. Just a thought. I am SURE I have enough conditioner to last ohhhhh 4 years. LOL (I don't think I'd use it on my silky coated boy Jett, think he would turn into a grease ball, but with Bellas part silk and part cotton it worked darn well.)

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I am still wanting to try this too..but I also have been having a hard time justifying the $75, as well. For me its easy to get Chris christensen, vellus, pet silk, etc. There is a distributor 10 min away..oh someday...
