| Shampoo? I need help with this one! I have purchased three different products that seem to dry Dexter's hair or make it difficult to brush through tangles. What products would you recommend? I have yet to find a detangler unless I'm looking in the wrong place. Which products would be best to make his hair soft, shiny, and manageable? Thanks! |

| We use Yorkie splash and shine and love it!! It leaves my babies hair soft and shiny. The detangler makes brushing Emme's hair a breeze.

| I also use Yorkie Splash and Shine for shampoo and conditioner. The Yorkie Sheen is a great detangler and smell refresher. On my Rosie who has the long silky hair, I also use the PEK conditioner. IV SAN BERNARD PEK CONDITIONER It leaves her hair so soft and smooth that I don't even have to use a detangler. It looks expensive but a little bit goes a long way.

| I use the Yorkie Splash and Shine products and love them. There are other all natural products out there though that do not strip your dog's coat with detergents that most commercial brands have in them. I have heard good things about some of the other products listed here. Make sure the Ph level in the product you buy is the right level for your dog. Dog's require a different Ph than people do. Human shampoos are too harsh for an animal. |

Zachary's Mom Donating Member | I have tried Isle of Dogs and the Yorkie Splash and Shine. Neither of them impress me too much although the Isle of Dogs Spray in Comb detangler spray seems to work a BIT better. Zachary matts just from wearing a collar and we had a horrible time getting the tangles out last night after he wore his cute little owl harness all day. I sure wish I could find something that would REALLY work! Louise |

Zachary's Mom Donating Member | This looks like a good "trial" deal here and the "trial sizes" are big ones. Chris Christensen Spectrum Ten Bag Deal Will try this one myself for $25. Louise |

| I've tried a bunch of dog shampoos over the years... for our (very fluffy) American Eskimo we finally narrowed it down to Paul Mitchell's John Paul "Super Bright" Shampoo and the John Paul spray version of the Oatmeal Conditioner...BUT...an Eskie needs to be bathed only every few MONTHS... very different from a Yorkie, who needs more frequent washes. When Logan the Yorkie came along a few months ago, I did my research (here) and ordered a few different products to try. About a month ago... I had Logan in the tub and then realized at the LAST minute that I didn't have any of his shampoos handy! But his big brother's "Super Bright" was right there... and I thought... hmmm...does a Yorkie need to be whitened? I know "whitening" shampoos don't really bleach the fur- they just have a blueing agent that makes their fur "look" brighter. So... I figured... what the heck? I'll try it. HE GLOWS!!!!!!!! I swear, his fur is so gleaming and shiny, you can see him in the DARK! I always condition him with Frederic Fekkai Shea Butter Conditioning Masque (another experiment gone VERY right!) so that makes him SUPER easy to brush (and he smells delicious!) and even though it's not a "dog" product, I've told every dog person that I know how amazing it is. At the end of the day, though... every furbaby is SO different, and their grooming needs will change (with the seasons, changes in activity level, changes in diet, changes in attitude, etc.) so you have to find the best fit for YOU and your baby. I actually have a friend who has a pitbull that she bathes with Chanel No. 5 shower gel... makes me itch just thinking about it, but the dog looks (and smells) like a diva! |

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | We currently use the Chris Christensen day to day and love it. We use the ice on ice detangler as well. Love it too!

Chris Christensen, mentioned above, sells some brightening products for dogs that are highly acclaimed. Her products are mostly made for people who show their dogs but many pet owners use them as well. I'll be honest, I haven't used her products but know people who do and the results are well above average. The YSS products have been great for Gracie and I prefer to stay with an all natural product. If she had a problem coat or skin problem I would not hesitate to try CC. | |

| I have also used baby shampoo at the suggestion of 2 different veterinarians. Right now I am alternating baby shampoo, biogroom oatmeal and yorkie splash and shine.
