Hi

I have explained what I use to take care of the coat... but use other things before show and at ringside.

I use Plush Puppy Natural Conditioning Shampoo with Evening Primrose
And Plush Puppy Natural Silk Protein Conditioner

I wash my yorkie with the shampoo, rinse really well and then use the conditioner. I follow Plush Puppies intructions as far as the mixing for these products.

Then I use Neutrogena with light sesame formula. I mix one capful of the Neutrogena to a eight ounce glass of water... and then pour it over the dog making sure not to get it on its ears. Once I have did this I don't rinse it off the dog. I then wrap in a towel and head for the grooming table.

Many people are not aware of this but thought I would share this with you.. Once the dog is in oil it is a MUST to make sure the hair is dry before wrapping the coat... if it isn't dry and you wrap it I will promiss you that your coat will rot in the wraps.

I also use booties. I make them myself. I use fleece. Red, Blue any fun color. I cut the fleece into rectangles. Oh about five inches long by three inches wide. Then I fold it in half and sew the edges. Once I have sewed it I then turn it right side to. When I put them on the dogs rear feet I brush all the hair on the dogs leg towards its body and then slide the bootie on. I then use electrical tape and wrap it around the leg making sure it is not to tight. I like to use the electrical tape because it stretches and it is cheap. LOL

I have never had skin problems using the Neutrogena.
