| Have you ever used "Mr. Groom?" Posted this yesterday in "products" but got no answers. Maybe someone will see it here! Mr. Groom Spray is a coat and skin conditioner. Dreama's groomer recommended it as something she uses on Dreama, so I bought some. On my way home I read the ingredients: contains ethyl alcohol and petroleum distillates, and now because of that I don't want to use it. Has anyone ever tried it? Is it normal for conditioners to have this icky stuff in them? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Hmmmm...I've been reading ALOT of labels recently and none of the products I use have ethyl alcohol in them...I would be leery of that because it could get into their eyes...and petroleum distilla-thingies ? That sounds like a derivative of gas / petrol products... It sounds more like a finishing spray to me but I sure am no expert....They will usually have a really good smell but I can't vouch or say what longtime use will do.... Have you tried it on her ? I bet you sure can't have that near heat or flames..lol - I bet it works ...but if it were me...I don't know if I'd use it ...

| Hi that doesn't sound good at all. I use a lot of the A1 All Systems products on my Yorkies, both show and cutdowns. They have a conditioning shampoo then I also use their conditioner. As a spray conditioner they have a moisturizing one that is in a spray can that you can use on mats or just to brush through between baths. There is also a pump one just called groomers spray or something like that. I am sure they have a website. |

| I paid $15 for it... I have never used it, and I wish I could take it back to Crissy, but she's a professional groomer, and I don't want her to feel bad as I have to keep taking Dreama to her. Well, we don't HAVE to, but she IS Dreama's former owner and this way she gets to visit her... SO I guess I will just throw it out. I was going to use it as a door prize at the MeetUp but if I don't want it, why would anyone else? LOLOLOL Yuck. Teach me not to read labels!! I just thought a groomer would know what to use...

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Maybe you can just take it back or exchange it for something else....or give it to your groomer ? There's no rule that says you had to like it just because she does !! |

| Yeah, makes sense to me... Quote:
I am thinking that I will take it back and exchange it. OR I will make Dave do it when he takes Dreama in next week!! YEAH!! That's the ticket! (I bet he won't do it either, lololol )

| A groomer recommended Mr. Groom as well as a shampoo & conditioner for one of my yorkies. I assumed that she is the expert, so I bought all of it even though I don't really like aerosol sprays (Mr. Groom). When I got it home and read the ingredients of Mr. Groom, i.e., alcohol, etc., I decided that I had to return it. There was no way I was going to use this on my yorkie. I confirmed with my Vet that alcohol would dry his skin even further, and then returned it to the product-pushing groomer. I kept the shampoo & conditioner which were of a different brand and expensive, so I didn't feel too badly about returning the Mr. Groom. |
