The Protect-a-coat is like a conditioning oil...you put a cup of it in a few inches of warm water (we put them in one of those small wash tubs next to our washer) after you rinse the conditioner out. Then you take this mixture and pour it up over the coat for 10 minutes, do not rinse and then dry. It is not a heavy oil really conditions the skin as well, so no dry flaky skin.
We put it on our show hopeful pups starting at 12-16 weeks old, so their coat starts out in excellent condition!
I hope this helps
We also use their conditioner and shampoo. Summerwinds - Coat Care Products |
So here is my question on the deep conditioner/oil. Why oil the coat on a puppy so early? I have had breeders tell me NOT to start oiling if ever/ until 9 months or later? I'm just curious to hear your perspective. I've been told the oil breaks down the hair shaft and makes it eve weaker. Why not just wrap with a conditioning spray?
I want to do things the right way, but I hear so many different views. Seems like ALL specials dogs are always in oil and wraps.
Thanks
