A leave in conditioner or detangler/ grooming spray is good for spraying on the coat before you brush it. For bathing, it would be best to use a shampoo and conditioner that is formulated for dogs. Human products are designed for a different ph balance and can often dry out a dog's skin. Pippin had a dry skin problem a while back and most people recommended that I switch to Buddy Wash and Buddy Rinse shampoos and conditioners, or Petsilk. I now use buddy wash and rinse on Pippin and his skin and coat are looking much better.
shes currently on canidae and homecooking. i do currently use dog shampoos/conditioners .do you recommend any sprays or leave ins? thanks
