When we got Roxy my breeder told us that she uses baby shampoo on all her dogs and then almond oil as a coat conditioner. She seemed to think that the baby shampoo was great and specialty dog shampoos were really just a ploy to make extra $. Anyways, we already had baby shampoo in our house, so we decided that we might as well try the baby shampoo and almond oil rather than confuse ourselves with buying a new fancy puppy shampoo. My question is how am I supposed to use the almond oil? I was thinking that I'm suppsed to just put a bit of the oil in my hands, rub it in between my palms and then work it into my pups coat. My husband seemed to think that we mix the oil in with the shampoo and then wash it all out. Does anyone know about this? Have you used the almond oil before? We live in the UK and don't have access to a lot of those fancy dog shampoos that are available in the US.
