Do you think it would work on a cotton coat?

No it is two different products. About the cotton coat, I'm sorry I just don't know the answer to that. But it works well for dry hair for sure.
There is a huge thread on here about conditioning for cotton coats. I think PEK from ISB is a godsend there. I would also try the Biogroom Silk first, because it is quite reasonable, and easily available from some pet stores, they will also send you samples.
But back to IOD I get my products when I am at shows, but you can order on line at
www.iod.com
Just a word about any and all s&C, please do dilute particularly the good stuff like ISB and IOD and follow religiously their timing. If they say 5 minutes leave on then set your timer for that, and leave it in.
To protect if your doggie gets cold, I preheat towels in dryer and wrap dog up in warm towel and hold until timer goes off, and or I also take the opportunity to massage my dogs. That is one reason they love bath times, massage, warm towels, lots of Mommy time.
Also with a cottony coat I might like to leave in a little more of the conditioner. Shampooing of course you rinse and rinse and then rinse out some more, but with conditioner you can leave a little in the coat. Get paws on top and underneath, behind ears, in loins, their rear end etc really rinsed well.
Oh yes also I saw somewhere a question about getting water into ears. Here are a couple of techniques you can try. I squeeze gently ear shut, when rinsing off head, you can also try cotton balls in ears, I have rinsed face and head off with a poptop empty coke/pepsi bottle. I use that a lot in between full bath days when I am only doing moustaches and head. Just make sure you use enough rinses to get that pesky shampoo out.
I use a detachable shower head, although I have read in a couple of places to use a steady stream of water, rather than a spray nozzle, but at this point I've only used the spray.
Hope this helps
