I have only used the cc ice on ice and Chloe's coat looks the best it has so far although I think there is still room for improvement. I just started using it though and I think I am not so good with the bathing(I dont think I get alll the shampoo and condtioner out) so other people would probobly have better results immediately.

But its been 4 days since her last bath and she is still shiny which is a first.

I voted for the CC only because that's the only thing i've used and the only thing that has worked thus far.

maybe after all of my bottles of shampoo's and conditioners run out i'll try something new

and maybe i'll try plush puppy or vellus!

I use Chris Christensen but I have heard Vellus is good also.

StewiesMom · 08-30-2005, 03:22 PM

I prefer Pet Silk. I use all their products. LOVE THEM!

I haven't tried Vellus, but I didn't much like CC Systems. It was good, but I prefer PetSilk

Luk Tan · 08-30-2005, 05:17 PM

I vote for Vellus

ok lets see if i can get this straight. i have the past 2 yrs tried different products. here is my list and my opinion on them:
1. four paws magic coat. (got this at the pet store.)

2. Durstede.

did a very good job but i couldn't find it very easliy
3. Pet Silk.

still using this i love it ans still using it.
4. Bless The Beast.

truely love this product. I am still using it also but not for every bath. it dried out Buckeye's hair and made it brittle. I have since decided that i was not diluting it enough. this is the best i have tried so far for matting and smell. he keeps the "pretty smell" for days. and also have found that when i use this shampoo i can go longer between baths.
5. Coat Handler.

I think I will always keep this around too. I love this one also.
6. Vellus.

I liked this shampoo but it made Ahia and Buckeye both itch. so I didn't even use all of the sample bottle.
7. Chris Christiansen.

I have just used this on them both today. so far so good with it . i was reading in another post about the greasy look that it gave some of your yorkies. I didn't experience that effect. It has done a nice job so far.

as you can see i liked them all Ahia has a silkier type hair. Buckeye has the cottony type.
I think i got them all listed that I have tried.

BrookeB676 · 08-30-2005, 07:51 PM

I have never tried vellus. Have you pet silk and hated it. I like the Chris Systems Conditioner a lot but prefer the happy Tails detangler to the ice on ice. Every dogs coat is different

I love the vitacoat for Haley, I only use it on her though as the bottles are small and its imported from England.

SoCalyorkiLvr · 08-30-2005, 07:58 PM

I have tried both CC and Vellus but never Pet Silk. I like the Vellus best.

Marlee · 08-31-2005, 06:05 AM

wow, it looks as though I will be ordering a bit of everthing to see what works best. Bridget is a cotton coat, and despretly needs something. Even the groomers stuff doesnt work very well on her. But I need her to look extra beautiful Bridget, Krosha and the new baby Azura will be in my brothers upcomming wedding as little puppy bridesmaids, and we were hoping for a really nice shampoo to bath them all in just before. I appriecate the help everyone.

MArlee...Chanel has a cottony coat - CC SSYSTEMS Rocks for her - it retexturized and really got her hair looking good....I've been using it for a year now - and I really like it for Chanel -

I used Vitacoat from England for Cheri but I'm all out - so she is using CC Systems now too -

I also just tried Pure Paws that I got from a dog show - it worked pretty good too -

Pet Silk was Ok. I've always wanted to try Durastede - it's just like ordering CC Systems on the net. Durastede has a great rep but I've never tried it.

I started to use Vellus when I picked up Gazou . His breeder gave me a sample and I continued to use it for Heidi and Choupette .
