| Here are the products that I've tried so far... I have two babies. They are siblings...from the same litter but they are totally different from each other. Ceasar has silky coat while Cleo has a very fine, cottony hair. So I am always up to trying new products that will help me with Cleo's coat. I would rate them from 1 star to 5 stars. But remember that these reviews are just based on my experiences using these products and that doesn't mean that you are going to have the same experience with them. It's a try it at your own risk situation. SHEA BUTTER CONDITIONING SHAMPOO ***** This is really great for their skin because it has oatmeal and a lot of natural ingredients which has natural healing power. Their skin never gets dry. Smells great . Makes their hair really clean...you could really tell when you would rake your fingers through their coats just like you would do to your own hair. SHEA BUTTER CONDITIONER W/ TEA TREE OIL.***** This is so concentrated so don't forget to dilute it with water. One bottle lasted for a year. It leaves their hair so soft and shiny and smelling great for a long time. They always get compliments about how great they smell. I love this product and I would always keep this in my list. SHEA BUTTER HERBAL MOISTURIZING TREATMENT.*** I like the smell but this really didn't work as I expected it to. Just didn't help reduce Cleo's hair matting problem. It didn't work for us. I still have half of the bottle. BOTANICAL DOG COAT THERAPY SHAMPOO** It has a lot of organic & natural ingredients which made me decide to try it. GO FOR ALL NATURAL!!! The shampoo smells great and it seems to really clean the coat so well but it doesn't have the element that will make the coat softer and shinier. When you rake your fingers through the coat it feels so dry and stripped off of the natural oil. The conditioner works ok but it didn't WOW me at all. It just didn't impress me that much. I still have a quarter of the bottle . EARTHBATH TEA TREE OIL & ALOE VERA SHAMPOO**** 1/2 I like this shampoo. it smells so good it is so gentle on their skin. Their skin and coat look healthier. feel softer, smell great, & look shiny after using it. I would use this again. EARTH BATH CREAM RINSE & CONDITIONER**** 1/2 I like this conditioner. It worked great for them. It gave me the after use effect that I was looking for...shinier , softer, great smelling coat. It has a very effective detangler agent that made my brushing job easier on CLEO'S cottony hair. CC SYSTEM DAY TO DAY SHAMPOO*** I tried this because everybody is raving about it. GOTTA GIVE IT A TRY!!! I guess this one didn't work that great for my babies. It's not bad but it's not that great either. CC SYSTEM DAY TO DAY CONDITIONER**** I liked this one. It smells good & it made their coats soft and shiny. I will still buy this again and would keep it in my list. CC SYSTEM ICE ON ICE**** I like the smell & it works ok for Cleo. It didn't give me the WOW reaction but I can't say it didn't help me brush Cleo's hair a little bit easier. It's light on their coats , no heavy build up. But the after use effect that I achieved would not make me stop looking for a better product for my babies. PLUSH PUPPY NATURAL CONDITIONING SHAMPOO & SILK PROTEIN CONDITIONER***** WOW!!! I love this products. I achieved the after use effect that I have been looking for. Using them together really made their coats so soft & shiny. They smell so good too after every bath. PLUSH PUPPY SEA BREEZE OIL***** Like they suggested...I diluted it with water and I think this would really last me a long time. With just a few drops of the oil and a lot of water...VOILA!!! It really made CLEO'S hair softer, straighter, shinier. And it didn't look heavy on their coats. What I do is towel dry them after their baths. Blow dry them till half dry & spray the water & Seabreeze mixture. I continue blow drying &brushing at the same time. And their coats come out so gorgeous. I really love this product. I found some products that work for my babies but I am still willing to try out other products as long as it would help my Cleo. With Ceasar I don't really have any problem. Almost any product that works for Cleo would work for him but not the other way around. So for everybody...goodluck trying out NEW products and keep us posted with your experiences. I know that not all products would work for everybody it is just up to us to try them till we will find what we are looking for. |

CLEO & CEASAR..thanks for the great information ! I've never seen any 'try me' sizes on the net ....but dog Shows would probably have samples or full version products....Plush Puppy has people selling for them The last dog show I went to I was able to buy Pure Paw Samples for $2.50 each to try....

| What a great thread! I've been struggling with growing Ginger's hair out and looking for the right products. I'm not sure what kind of coat she has, she doesn't ever seem to mat, but her hair is fine and I think cottony. Anyway, I tried the CC products, and LOVED them the first time. But each time I like them less, AND then she started to mat. I don't know if it was the product or not, but a switched back to our old shampoo (puppy shampoo from Target) and the matting stopped. I'd love to try the plush puppy, but am also interested in the Shea Butter products that you gave 5 stars. Where can I get those? Thanks! P.S. I'd love to see pics of your furbabies! |

| I use Earthbath on all of my babies, and I love it! I love how they smell like fruit afterwards. I think it's worth the money i paid for. |

| WELLL... I know I'm an OLD FART and keep saying this but after trying EVERTHING... I still say the best system to use is....... Wash with dishsoap Rinse Wash again with Pantene REGULAR Rinse Condition with Aussie 3 minute Miracle (full 3 minutes) Rinse with warm water Let air dry Comb out when completely dry with very fine toothed steel comb I also don't give all those crazy expensive coat vitamins and such... I use a teaspoon of Vegetable or Olive oil on each meal and everybody keeps supple skin with no flaking or drying By the way... I only do the dishsoap part of the wash if they are really grungy or greasy from something Even the vet complements how shiney and soft all my dogs are and asks me what I do or what I give them.

Absolutely! I found it gets rid of flaky skin very nicely. It usually takes a couple weeks to give the new skin a chance to "bloom" but it has always worked for me

| YEP... Just give a tiny bit with at least 1 meal a day. You will know if it is TOO MUCH if the stoold start getting too soft. Just use less if this happens
