Thanks Teresa I wish Maci did have a silky coat for the sake of management but she sure is sooo soft and I love cuddling her haha.

Zhoie will be 3 in January and is a cotton coat. I have try tons of the best of the best shampoos and conditioners. I've an entire bathroom cabinet to prove it...just sayin

Zhoie was kinda itching a few weeks back after a few day from her bath but before the weekend when it was time for another bath...so I was thinking, so seasonal allergies. Anyway, I go in the dog spa and talk with the owner/groomer, she suggested Comfy Dog Oatmeal Conditioning Shampoo for Dry and Itchy Skin by happytails.

OMgosh, it is the most wonderful product I have tried yet. I don't want to jinx us, but no itching what-so-ever. You don't use a separate conditioner nor do I need a detangler...it's all in this one products. It's the first product I have found that truly gives her cotton coat SHINE and it last all week until her next bath. it's all natural and smells like peppermint.

Here's a couple of pictures after using it...hope you can see her shine. I'm amazed.

Are you sure your baby is soft coated? Her hair is amazing! It looks so silky and smooth. I wish Kaji's would look like that.

Prada looks adorable! My soft coated pup has a similar look.

Yeah I'm sure she has a soft coat... If she could have soft and silky hair on her body that could be a possibility lol but her signs point to soft.
Very thick hair, belly mattes like crazy, she doesn't have a natural part, she is curly when wet, a wavy mess when dry lol. But she does have some shine to her coat!
Her head/face are wonderfully silky
Not sure why her coat shines.., we use mane N tail products and feed rcyt28 but are switching to acana. Will see if the shine goes away!

Also her black hair on her body has a more brown undertone, while she has blue undertone on her ears/face/rear where there is any blacks and silver

I use Harry Barker Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioner... it is USA made (if you take that into consideration), it's concentrated but I use it full strength, it smells wonderful and lasts the week until their next bath. They also make Prickly Pear 2in1 for hot spots, flea dermatitis, and scaly skin; and Shea Butter 2in1 for extra sensitive skin.

In addition to allergens, runny eyes can be caused by diet... even on a highly rated, holistic food, my girls eyes are producing a lot of goo.

Thanks, I do believe she is a cotton, just on a really thick cotton. I have found now that she is getting close to 3, she coat is changing to a thinner/flat feel. She doesn't get wavy when wet and her coat is very straight. But the back is dull and doesn't natural part.

This shampoo is the best her coat has ever felt and no tangles even with close...amazes me.

I am tempted to grow her back out some for winter just to see how it does on this shampoo and to give her a little warmth.

Up until Zhoie was about 1 1/2 old her coat in the sun had a reddish brown cast, use to drive me crazies. My vet said it was a hormonal imbalance and she would outgrow it and she did. I do find as she gets older her coat seems to be really improving.

Boo! I'm even more jealous. Kaji is 3 and his hair is so thick, and crazy. He's curly wet or dry! I doubt his will ever change.

i'm so dumb... i thought she was talking about maci haha oops

She's adorable too! Her tail looks just like my boys. Long with lots of kinks in the hair. (almost curls) Her overall hair seems smoother than his though. You say hers doesn't matt right? LUCKY!! Kaji's will matt just by looking at it.

[maci_mace]

I wonder if Maci will do the same as Zhoie and kinda thin and straighten out lol.. that would be a miracle!
And nope no matting anywhere but the belly! Thank goodness. I feel like the body is a mix of silk and cotton... she's just a big oddball :P

No way...Kaji and one adorable boy! Everytime I look at him in his little house peeking out....it gives me such a big smile , love it, he's just precious!

Oh, don't get me wrong, if I would grow her back coat out...she would be a poof and look hugh I'm sure. I'm telling you, this shampoo has worked wonders on her coat. Keeping my fingers crossed it will only get better.

She just might. Zhoie use to tangle bad on her belly and shoulders where clothes would rub. I think that's why the shaved back works so much better for us.

Oh, and when she was younger with the brownish reddish look to her coat, it looked like her coat had split ends/broke. But when her hormones leveled out that improved to.
