| Thanks guys, for all these replies. I will definitely try and find Squirt Spray and Shine and I will look around the local antique shops etc. for the brushes. Thanks for these tips, Meggie. I did wonder if my brush was part of the problem. Last night I used a nylon brush with the bobble ends and she found this much more comfortable. It was easier to get out the tangles, but still took ages as I have to be so careful not to tug and hurt her. The Spray and Shine sounds like it is just what I need. I could spray each little tuft, as you say. Oh dear, I am not sure what to do about the Pantene now! I was going to get some today. I might try it anyway as a few of you recommended it, so obviously haven't had any problems with it. I will just keep looking out for a dog hair conditioner that works. Thanks again, everyone. Luv Franceen |

| I've heard about the PH in human things not being right but I've never found it a problem with conditioner. I don't use human shampoo often on the yorkies, though I do on my Skyes, who need muddy feet washing most days up here! If you want a good dog conditioner, there's one I've used in the past, bit awkward for me to get now. Can't remember the exact name, but I bought it from one of those big pet stores, Pets At Home I think. It was in a tall bottle, flattish, like squashed back to front, & it said on the front it was for long silky coats. It was like a pearlised pale pink, creamy liquid. There was a complete range of shampoos & conditioners in the same bottles. Sorry, not much help eh? But it did work well, it's just I don't get down to big shopping places much. |

| Thanks for that recommendation, julimani. I have seen their products but haven't yet tried them. The static stabilizer sounds very good. Luv Franceen |

| This week I tried using some Shaw's Royal Coatalin. It's an old tin that I had in from using on my bigger dogs. It's a really old established product & a bit odd to use if you're not used to it as it's a solid block in a tin, looks a bit like a tin of clear shoe polish The best way is just to dab the end of the bristles of your brush on the block then brush it into the coat. I must say it's worked a treat! Their coats are lovely, glossy & silky. I thought it might have made them a bit greasy but it hasn't at all. It's really economical as well as a tin lasts ages. |

| I have never seen that product. I am always on the lookout for something to make Tootsy's coat shine that doesn't have silicone in it. Thanks for this rec. Luv Franceen xxx |

| Thanks for the rec. Chellbe45. I have now got Vet Solutions Aloe and Oatmeal Shampoo, Chris Christensen Day by Day conditioner and Ice on Ice detangler. Her coat is shiny at last! Nevertheless, I will try the other ones that have been recommended just in case they are even better. Have to wait until these are finished, though! Luv Franceen xx |
