I have tried a few different types of oil products on Schatzie (Not Ransom yet) and no matter how diluted the oil Schatzie just looks oily/nasty/messy/unkept.

She however does have the cottony coat so this might make a difference, not sure?
Ransom has definitely a silky coat but I have not yet attempted to use any oil products on him at this time. I've been given some Coat Handler products and am very pleased so far.
I am almost guessing that if I decided to try some oil products on him I will end up with the same oily nasty unkept mess? If anybody has a good formula regarding dilution of the oil product Id be interested.
