The shampoo says can be diluted 8:1. Do I need to do this? If you do dilute it do you do 8:1? It does not say to dilute the conditioner.
Also, does anyone know about the other two products? The Ice on Ice is a detangler and finishing spray.
By the way, Rosie has the fine silky hair. I am hoping this will work great on her. Any advice here will be appreciated.  |
With that kind of dilution ratio you can dilute it or use it straight. When you put it on a wet dog you are already diluting it a little bit. If it were a 32:1 or higher i'd definitely recommend to dilute it.
I use the Day to Day sometimes, as well as the clean start as a clarifying shampoo. I use it the same way I would use my own shampoo. Put a small amount in my hands, rub them together, and then disperse all over the dog. If you want to dilute it, put it in a squeeze bottle and squirt all over then massage into coat.
The thick and thicker is for building volume in the coat. Not necessary for Yorkies really.
The After Bath is a very light conditioner. Its main use is to get rid of any shampoo residue left on the coat and seal the cuticle. Its very light and doesn't weigh the coat down.
The Ice on Ice is my favorite product. I use it on my hair as well as my yorkies hair. I spray it on after I towel dry them and massage it into the coat. Then I blow dry and comb the coat. Ice on Ice is a detangler, moisturizer, dirt, rain, snow, dust, and urine repellent, sunscreen, leave in conditioner, finishing spray and much much more. I used it during the blizzards this winter on Morgan's legs and it stopped her from getting "snowball legs" when she went outside to potty. I also use it to prevent tear stains by applying it with a q-tip to the under eye area. Also on my own hair I swear it keeps your hair color from fading longer because of the sunscreen in it. I was able to go longer in between coloring.
