| Just placed my first order for Minksheen :-) So excited I had to post!! I was undecided whether to go for Minksheen or Pet Silk but a user here posted before and after pics here and I was amazed. Can't wait to try it :-O. Hope the pups like it!! Last edited by Justrunningthru; 12-08-2010 at 04:10 PM. Reason: spelling error |

| I love it! I had to get used to the smell but now it doesn't bother me. It leaves them SO shiny and I love the natural insect repellents and coat conditioners! I mostly use this but still use Fluffy Puppy on their faces (it i sno tear) and occasionally rotate in some Espree products.

| Minksheen is my favorite shampoo! Last time, I just bought a gallon of it 'cause I have no plans to switch. I'm one of those who loves the smell of it, too.

YT 2000 Club Member | I bought a bottle a few weeks ago and Im still on the fence about it. The more I use it, the less I like it. It leaves my dogs coats more fluffy than the splash and shine I also use. The smell isnt too bad, but it doesnt last very long and Ive noticed that after a few days of being bathed my dogs have a musty/dusty and even a little wet dog smell to them. It does seem to get them "cleaner" then some of the other shampoos Ive used. As far as the repellent part of it, Im not sure how well it actually works. My dogs havent had any fleas at all for almost 2 months and I havent needed to put frontline on them, after the second time I used it Tucker had fleas..lol, now Im not saying that it caused the fleas, but it certainly didnt prevent them. I will use it untill the bottle is gone, Im not one to waste money.. but Im pretty sure I wont be buying it again.

| I love minksheen, the smell is more "natural" not "pretty". Ziva's hair is so fine I do run a touch of extra conditioner down her back before I'm done washing out the minksheen. Seems like I got a "watery" bottle and while their customer service was quick to answer - but not very helpful, I will order in the cooler weather next time. |

| Minksheen works very well with Piccolo. Hope you get the same positive results.

| I love Minksheen! The smell lasts heavily on Jackson for about 2-3 days, and then it gets lighter and lighter after that, but he still looks super shiny and feels sooo soft. I have not found anything that I like better than it yet. Jackson has not been on flea/tick stuff since early September and did not get one tick or flea until I did not use Minksheen for a month and then he had a tick on his head. So I think it does work a little bit as far as the insect repellent goes. I personally like the smell because it's really strong. It's a cologne type smell.

| I love Minksheen. It doesn't smell that bad. Buster matts very easy and the Minksheen helps a lot. I hope you like it as much as I do.

| Thanks all! I never paid much attention to the shampoo's I used because my lab is really low maintenance...lol. So, this is probably the first high quality product I have ever ordered for grooming. I'm hoping it works well on all my babies! |
