I'm VERY new to the world of grooming and shampoos, so I've tried to look up reommendations online. The options are absolutely
overwhelming! I don't think I've ever had such a hard time picking out hair products for myself!
However, I'm looking for something really specific, so I thought that I might try this method. We have a new Yorkie puppy (7 mons old) and he is ALL BOY. The smellier it is, the grosser it is, the messier it is... the more he loves it! So baths are very much a necessity at my house!
I've look at, smelled, and/or tried numerous products over the last few months and get stuck in 2 very important areas:
1) His coat will look great for about 2 or 3 hours, then get this matted "shaggy" look. I can comb him out and w/in 2 hours, he's back to looking like a very cute Ewok. Nothing seems to keep him soft and fluffy for longer than a few hours (even if he's inside and not rolling around in the mud outside!)
2) Many of the shampoos/conditioners that I've found are heavily scented and kick of MY allergies! I really don't want anything that is overly frou-frou, flowery, "baby powder", that kind of thing. He comes over to snuggle and either I start sneezy or my skin starts to break out. For what it's worth, I can't wear/use strongly scented lotions, body soap, laundry deterent or perfumes myself.
Can anyone offer some guidance?
