I switched to using EQyss brand on my dog Lulu (Lu). I started using the Premier Natural Botanical Shampoo and their Premier Coat Conditioning Cream Rinse & Detangler and as grooming sprays. I have the EQyss Naural Botanical Spray and the Avacado Mist Conditioner Detangler.
I have used Bio Groom Fluffy Puppy and the Silk Creme Rinse as well as Earthbath Hypoalergenic Shampoo and the Creme Rinse. The Bio Groom Silk Creme Rinse left Lu's hair so nice and shiny, silky and soft and the scent isn't terrible but not wonderful. The Earthbath one is not bad but the scent isn't wonderful either and Lu's hair wasn't quite as nice but not terrible. Unfortunately after her baths Lu would be itchy and that has made life loads of fun as we have tried to figure out a product I can use on her. To top it off we have asthma at our house and some products have a fragrance that creates issues for the asthma sufferers.
I had some suggestions from members here about some different lines I could try but I decided to try the EQyss line because it is something I can still get locally and it's supposed to be a good brand. If this stuff doesn't do the trick then I'll have to order something in.
So far I have tried the EQyss shampoo and the two sprays and things seemed to go not too bad but Lu's hair was more easily tangled and so I figured I had best bite the bullet and pick up the EQyss coat conditioner as well but I haven't tried it yet. I plan to bath Lu today though so I guess we'll see how it goes. EQyss' Natural Botanical Spray says it conditions and can be used everyday and I have used it as a spray for brushing Lu and I used the Avacado leave in conditioner spray right after Lu's last bath and we didn't have any problems with static at all which was awfully nice but it's not quite moisturizing enough. I figured that might be the case but thought I would try things that way before using the Coat Conditioner. So far we haven't had the itchy issues and the fragrances are really nice. Hopefully things will continue to go well. I felt so bad when I would bath Lu and she would get itchy not too long after.
I have considered using human products but wondered about the ph issues some people have mentioned and the posibility of them drying out Lu's skin? It seems like some people have had good results with their dog's hair using human products and others are quite against the idea. I don't know enough about it to form an opinion one way or the other. Basically as long as Lu's hair ends up looking healthy, doesn't tangle up like crazy and she's not itchy I'll consider whatever product human or canine. You use WEN?
