| Shampoo's, Conditioner's, and Moisturizers I've read many threads and there seems to be controversy over whether to use strictly dog shampoos or if it is okay to use human shampoo. Can anyone tell me if they used some of the products that we use or if they have heard reviews on them. Kahlua has silky hair and we have used at least one bath a week since he was a puppy: Johnson's Baby Shampoo on his face Pet Gold Dark Coat Shampoo and Conditioner on his body Neutrogena Clean Replenishing Moisturizing Conditioner and as a moisturizer and spray between baths we have used: Premium Groomer's Cologne with Aloe Vera for Conditioning Coat and Skin I am just concerned because his body is no where's near as silkiy as the hair on his face, but its not seriously dry either. I want to try and save his fur if we are ruining it. I was curious if it was because of the Pet Gold dog shampoo that I use on his body or the neutrogena conditioner. Any other recommendations and where I can find them will be a big help. We want our baby to be as handsome as possible.

| When I first was a new owner, i used the johnson's baby shampoo and the pantene pro-v conditioner and that worked really well. I know that our shampoo has a different pH balance than dog shampoo, but it really didn't have any ill effect on my dogs. and I was using it for a long while until I found out about the Chris Christensen products which have truely impressed me (and i still use them). I know that my own hair tends to dry out when i use neutrogena or pantene pro-v products because i've heard they have silicone in them and they ultimately dry out the hair, that's why people suggest to switch off shampoo's every 6 months. maybe it's the neutrogena that's making it so dry? there is a new thread on the Grooming section if you'd like to see the reviews of all shampoo's and conditioners and different coat types. here is the link to the forums https://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yorkie-grooming-talk/ and here is the direct link to the thread http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36674 |

| thanks for the reply!! I think we will try switching off of the neutrogena conditioner to another brand (preferably without silicone). We are finally runniing low on the dog shampoo (the first bottle we bought when he was a puppy the PETGOLD) so we are trying to find another brand to replace it. I have heard great things about C&C and will difinetly look into it. Thanks!!
