I shampoo Remi a minimum of once per week and I use the Minksheen shampoo I found out about right here on our YT site. It can be ordered online. It keeps his hair beautiful, fresh, and tangle free. On his face and head I use the Johnson Baby Shampoo, so it is tearfree and does not hurt his eyes. I also use a liquid ear cleaner that I put on a cottan pad and gently cleanse the inside of his ears. Rinsing well is important. I am using Ultra Silk conditioner, another product I learned about here at YT.
Remi's grooming table is the best purchase I made. It is easy to dry him on the table, as well as brush him. I wait until he is almost all dry and then I brush his hair in place. The dryer I purchased at a store called Total Pet Care is a free standing portable hair dryer. Having it a stand keeps your hands free to hold your pup and brush. When Remi is almost all dry I take the dryer from the stand, keeping him in the loop leash, and continue brushing.
In between baths, any time Remi goes outside, his paws are wiped down, as well as "private parts". I found that this routine keeps him smelling fresh and looking shiny and clean.
Hope you find this helpful!
