| Shampoo/Conditioner Oscar is very sensitive to Shampoo.. However Conditioner does not bother him.. Would it be OK to use just Conditioner when I bathe him ? |

| Maybe you could try a cleansing conditioner like Wen? Loreal makes a cleansing conditioner that I use on my own hair. I'm not sure if those products are safe and/or will work well on his coat though. In the winter, I noticed that Yoshi had a flakey tummy & the hair on the top of his back was dry. I would shampoo & condition one week, condition only the next week. I'm not positive if conditioner only will cleanse the coat of grooming products & day-to-day dirt. If you bathe him weekly, maybe you could try a puppy shampoo every other week?

| I hear ya re: human products. I'm sure someone will have a good suggestion. There's got to be a good, gentle shampoo for the sensitive babies out there.

| IOD has a Naturaluxury line that's soap free, paraben & sulfate free. Pet Head is another good one, also cruelty free. But they're not fragrance free. I carry both in my site. Warren London is another excellent one, but I am all sold out on their shampoos. This link talks about sulfates & parabens & good alternatives: Sulfates and Parabens - Beware of the Potential Dangers - Brendita's Body Works

| Is this the Strawberry Yogurt Conditioner you're talking about? Amazon.com: Pet Head Fur Ball Detangling Spray... I might want to try some of that. I didn't realize that Pet Head had natural ingredients. That's good to know.

YT 2000 Club Member | Believe it or not.....I found mine at Walmart in the pet section! I didn't know is was going to be so good until I tried it! I love the natural ingredients, too! Teeka has some flaking and itching and I was looking for something gentle and this product has really helped! I want to try the puppy shampoo as it is suppose to be very gentle on the hair and skin.
