What sprays does everyone use?
Can you recommend a few as they aren't always available over here?
Does anyone make up their own mixture to spray? Some of the old Yorkie books I have, from the very early days when the breed was being developed over here, mention these, but there are some really weird recipes in them......
hydrous wool fat, benzoate lard, grains of phenol,alcohol......or oils mixed with kerosene & a little paraffin......  |
LOL...I've got a really old yorkie book written by Annie Swan and it recommends washing with "soap flakes", cracked me up!
I use Crown Royale finishing spray for in between bath grooming. I don't know if it's available there or not. You can use watered down hair conditioner (any brand you prefer) and it will work as well as anything else.
About combing a wet coat? I've never heard that before and am curious....how could combing stretch wet hair anymore than brushing wet hair does?
