and i forgot to say, thanks for the good review on coat handlers. you're right, it is pricey, but you get alot for the money when you dilute...i like it alot so far. still in the testing fase....but so far so good! thanks.

I use Mane n Tail shampoo and a tresseme conditioner on my Yorkie. SO far her hair is very soft and pretty. Her coat is cottony and it gets matted so I need to use a conditioner on her.

I always use Johnsons tearless baby shampoo/body wash i nthe yellow bottle. My yorkies' hair is always shiny and I have never had to use conditioner. It really works good for us. I did just purchase the John Paul Mitchell tearless puppy shampoo and am gonna try this weekend. Will let you know how it works out. Everything else made my guys hair dull . I have a really think, straight more silky male and a thicker coated, straight, yet wavy female.

I have to tell you I have heard wonders about the CC systems but haven't tryed it myself. I can can tell you though I have started using La Pooch Shampoo and I think think I will ever try anything else ever. I t is just great. Here is the site if you want to check it out. www.lespoochs.com. Rubys haiur smells and feels great after every bath and in the days ahead.

I use Fresh and Clean with oatmeal for Dexter....since I started, I haven't seen one mat in his hair (minus the weekend camping trip) I only brush him every two or three days...it has worked so well.

I use people Suave shampoo and then use the Suave conditioner (the one that has the word Awapuhi on it). After that I work in Infusium-23 treatment and leave it in. These are the same shampoos and conitioners I use on my own hair. Anyone else tried this?

hey everyone...
just wanted to say, gosh this is an old thread i started, never thought i'd see it come back to life, but glad it did...
i did get some mane and tail. it's ok....i am still stuck on my coat handlers at this point...

i like the mane and tail shampoo just fine for my yorkies, but the conditioner wasnt to my liking. so i used the shampoo with some coat handlers cond. and some coat handlers and petsilk diluted as a leave on . great results.

I love the baby wash! The lavender leaves them with such a wonderful smell. Then i just use conditioner.

Hey, I have used the Garnier Fructis Shine on Trixie too and it works great! I have also used Suave kids Soft Formula with conditioner too. It works well and because it has a built in detangler, it makes combing her in between baths very easy.
