shampoo-impressed...disapointed

[Shelby&Seymour]

We use Chris Christensen Clean Start Shampoo and also the ICE on ICE detangler/coat conditioner. I also use Biolage Detangling solution (bodies only... not on the face) which really helps with comb outs!

[SweetPea53]

I have been using Buddy Wash/Rinse....very pleased with both products

[Franceen]

I have tried Chris Christensen shampoo and their conditioner. Tootsy has a cottony coat and these products left her hair dry and tangly. I do like the Ice on Ice as it leaves a lovely shine and she smells gorgeous after I have used it to brush her each day.

I am now going to try Plush Puppy which is highly recommended - I'll let you all know how I find it. I have tried several cheaper brands and they were okay but not great eg Johnson & Johnson shampoos and conditioners, Pantene and Loreal (which was fantastic but left a build up after a while).

I also used Vet Solutions Oatmeal and Aloe Vera shampoo and I liked it. I wanted to try Espree but cannot get it here and now another YT member says Plush Puppy is far better than Espree, so I am going to try it.

Franceen, in case you try Plush Puppy product, I recommend you to try Natural Conditioning Shampoo with Evening Primrose. I like the smell and it gives me a good result on my yorkie and maltese.

Unfortunately it's expensive IMO. I bought it for 30 euro for 1 littre (I already got a 15% discount otherwise it would be more that 30 euro - besides the price has already increased by almost 10%, ex. it was 115 euro for 5 littre and now it is 125 euro in Belgium). Even if I get a 15% discount, I will still have to pay around 105 euro for 5 littre. So it's still expensive.

Well I must admit that I like the result and the smell.

I use the Buddy wash/rinse, also. I love the smell and makes Pepper look so very handsome.

Thanks so much for letting me know the best one to use. I am a bit horrified at the price!! Perhaps they have it in smaller quantities - I will have a look and see. Does your Yorkie have a cottony coat? Do you use their conditioners as well? Do you prefer it to the Petsilk products?

So far I've only tried Buddy Wash/Buddy Rinse (lavender scent) and Zoe smells great. I've also heard people comment on the wonderful scent of Juicy Couture but that's more on the pricey side. Might give it a try though.

[FL Tink]

Love love love Buddy wash shampoo and body spray
Cain and able was good.

Duurstede not impressed
Earth bath would not buy again.

I dont care for any thing that smells like fruity sweet or babies.
I like rosemary, lavender, citrus eucalyptus more herbal clean smells.

Kenzo has cottony coat. It's not very easy to maintain it but with lots of patience, I can handle it.

No I don't use their conditioners. I can't give any comment to the Petsilk products coz I haven't used them yet. Sorry.

Yes the price is expensive! Don't know how much it will cost you there? Please let me know when you buy it. Tell me also how you like the result. Thx.

[Franceen]

Thanks for your reply. Kenzo looks beautiful!! What a darling! I have ordered the Plush Puppy Natural Conditioning shampoo with Evening Primrose 250ml for £9.99 and I also got the conditioner (also £9.99 for 250ml) and the Swishy Coat grooming cream which is supposed to be good. So, after all this expense, I am hoping that Toots will look at least a little like Kenzo! If my camera ever gets fixed I will post a photo of her, but don't hold your breath. It is giving so much trouble. I will let you know how I found the products to work on her coat. Just have to wait for them to be delivered as I bought them on their online shop.

I want to thank everyone else for their recs. I guess we all have our favourites depending on the smell we like and the type of coat our babies have. I think it is good to switch now and then, anyway, so I will keep the other recs in mind.

Thank you for your compliment! Kenzo is so pleased to heard it Your baby is pretty also!

It is about the same price here in Belgium. It costs €13.50 for 250ml. I paid not more than €30 for 1 littre when I bought it last year (in August or in September).

You can dilute it for 10:1. There is lots of foam and the smell is really nice. Unfortunately it lasts not more than 4 or 5 days as long as I know. Perhaps on your baby the smell will last for a week?? Just let me know, pls. Thx.

Anyway, I wish you luck!

[oopsmyhalofello]

Mink sheen is nice, but I really don't care for the scent

Buddy wash, I like it, it rinses out nicely.. only used a samples worth though

Mane and Tail, no complaints and it really left their hair feeling nice


Next i'm on to Cranberry fields, only because I see one of the PP's mentioned it being tearless. I'm tired of using a different shampoo on their head and body

[nikkinack]

I just used Coat Handler for the first time and I have to say I am very impressed. Kingston looks like a new dog

[xxmxaxrxyxx]

Love Minksheen...can't wait to get my order from you for Cranberry Fields to give that a try...have cowboy magic at home but never tried it...hehe
