Caesar has a coat problem

My mother used to be a beautician and every time I got a perm that was too tight she told me to wash it in baby shampoo a few times to help loosen it. That tells me it is too harsh.

I have a maltese with sensitive and dry skin problems and I've been using Solid Gold Products (they were at my local pet store) The conditioner is called Jojoba Oil hair and skin conditioner. I like it because you are supposed to leave some of the conditioner in the hair. You mix it with water, dump it all over their coat and then rinse out only half of it. You can mix it with water in a spray bottle and spray it on the dry skin areas in between bathing. It makes her coat feel so good and her skin seems to be doing better too.

well, I have only had my baby for 1 month. but, I am a hairdresser and baby shampoo will dry out your hair for sure, to much protien in a shampoo will make your hair brittle and dry. sucks the moisture right out. as for really oily hair, alot of times you produce to much oil because the hair is trying to replenish itself. So you really have to use a moisture balance shampoo anyways , like oil cleaning oil off your hands. You trick it into believing it has enough oil when you use it. Just thought I would give that tidbit. I also could use some advise on dog shampoo and conditioner. Harleys mom Deanna

For dry and brittle hair try giving your dog Lipiderm or Linatone. I have tried these on my dogs and it works. You can find it at Petsmart or Petco. It doesn't work over night so give it time.
