| Detangler Question Is it bad to use human detangler spray on our babies? I haven't but I was wondering if it would be safe to use in the mean time while I am saving up $ for the whole shampoo/conditioner/spray stuff. I had no idea this stuff could be so costly it is all I can do to save up $ to take Bailey to the vet and I am just now able to get her to the Groomer. Anyway, the product I have is V05 Detangle and Shine Leave-In Conditioner. It doesn't say anywhere on the bottle not to use on pets. Do you think it would be an ok temporary use?

| I don't think it would hurt but I could be wrong. I've used Johnson & Johnson hair detangler for kids before and it didn't hurt. I just didn't like the way their coats felt after I applied it. |

| Thanks for the reply. I wonder if I should give it a try? Bailey is in desperate need of a detangler and I don't have one for her yet. Maybe I should dilute it a lot and try it out?

I think it won't hurt if you use it without diluting it. I know I use to use Pantene shampoo & conditioner on my babies and had no problems. | |

| Thanks. Well, I did it. We shall see the results later. Question for you - What brush/comb do you use? Or what would you recommend?

| It depends on their skin. Some have allergy problems and dry skin and others don't. I've always used Pantene shampoo (at least as long as I can remember) and Suave conditioner (Kacee smells like a coconut). Anyway, the only time I couldn't use it on Muffin was in the summer, when she had allergy problems (itching). Kacee has no problem with it at all. I use the little doggie brushes that have the nubs on the ends of the metal side and a regular brush on the other side. I use a medium metal comb with fine teeth on one end and medium teeth on the other end. (What a description! Huh?)

| I don't remember if I got it at Wal-Mart or Petsmart, but it would have been one of the two. The one I have is only around 6-inches long and is easy to handle. Now, I know they have the combs at Wal-Mart, because I remember seeing them there. They probably have the brushes, too. Either place would have what you need.

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | I personally wouldn't recommend it as I do not use human products on my babies. My Tatum has VERY bad allergies and I know that using human products on her would only upset her skin more. I HIGHLY recommend Buddy Splash to use as a detangler. Luckily my babies don't ever tangle or mat BUT I used it on them all the time when they were puppies (that super thick puppy hair tangles very easily - especially when they wear clothes) and it works like a DREAM, smells great and is all natural
