What product do you use to keep hair out of your yorkies eyes?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Robin Lodal · 04-05-2009, 12:37 PM

I use the top knot gel as well.

It hasn't been perfect in correcting the problem but its MUCH better than anything else I have tried. You should get it a try. I got mine from petedge.com It only makes sense to order from there if you have a large order ($60+) b/c they will add additional fees if you order less stuff. If you aren't looking for a bunch of (random) stuff now, you can try another website. On petedge it was like 6.99. If you type "petsilk top knot gel" into google, it will list a few other websites that carry it but you will be paying around 13.99 for it then. Good luck!

My Spencer too. gets hair in his eyes, but he has the "puppy cut'' as well, so that helps. My Questions is between grooming, how do I get the eye "gook". as I call it, from his eyes tearing so much...It gets in clumps and it's hard to brush out since it's so near the eye...any suggestions. P.S. I've tried a warm wash cloth and it doesn't even seem to lossen the gunk!

Sometimes it can take a few minutes of holding the wash cloth on the area to get the gunk to soften. Also make sure you have enough moisture in the wash cloth. I use a face comb for the area next to their eyes, it's small with fine teeth, and combing away from the eye can remove the gunk easily after it's softened.

I wash my girls eyes out every day...if you wait until its an icky "clump of gunk"...then it's alot harder to clean out. Just take a washcloth to his eyes at least every other day...but daily is even better!!

I use vaseline

works just like a puppy hair gel.

Nancy1999 · 04-06-2009, 10:38 AM

Love the Petsilk topknot gel, I can't wait till his hair all reaches the topknot, but I would have never had tried to grow it out without this product. You can find it on ebay for around $10.00 including shipping.

Nancy1999 · 04-06-2009, 10:48 AM

Here's a place that says $7.99, and that "Includes Shipping & Handling Fees", I can't believe thats right, but you might want to check it out. Top Knot Gel - 4 oz jar

Let me know if it's really includes shipping, that's just too good to believe.

I have three yorkies my Seri, 4 yrs old, two male puppies almost 1 yr. I have NEVER cut any face hair on my yorkies. I do rubber bands made of silicone. They're more expensive but they don't cut the hair or get stuck and pull hair out. I get them in the hair accessory dept of Walmart, etc. The boys I do a pony tail and then put it with more hair to lay down nice. Looks more masculine than a stand up ponytail.

salazark · 04-06-2009, 12:08 PM

Go-Fetch also has Petsilk topknot gel. Watch out though - you'll probably find a bunch of other things you can't live without!

Thats funny I am trying to train my apple to keep her hair up in it pig tail but, she to shakes it until it comes off. I also noticed that the hair in between her hair is shorter than the one on her head so i am trying the human gel to see if that helps and i think it would but with all the shaking she does and running around to rub the pig tail off she makes a mess of it and it goes wild.
