I can set Google to only give me websites from Canada but that significantly reduces my options so I never use that filter. My hubby often goes to the States so when a company will, I have them send it to the UPS store address and pick it up from there as it's a lot cheaper crossing the border. Usually they do not charge anything to cross with it if it's not a big ticket item.

It's frustrating and weird that items like Nutrical (Tomlyn Products) are made in Quebec, Canada but I can't find it at any pet store in Ontario! I have to buy it online and pay some ridiculous shipping fee! I just buy it across the border at the Petco store thanks to being able to surf the internet.

Oh that's weird about Nutrical, so funny that a product could be made in America, yet you’d have to buy it in another country.

I remember now reading about how good Buddy Wash is. I really like that it's all natural. I know the Petco closest to me across the border only carries the 2 in 1. I will have to look into that brand more to see where in the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area I can buy the separate shampoo and conditioner.

Try asking any of the pet stores around where I live (including PetSmart) about Nutrical...they look at you like your crazy and then say they have never heard of it or any product like that and tell me to ask my vet for it. I don't know one Yorkie breeder in Ontario that doesn't mention it's a good thing to have on hand just in case your puppy needs it. That's why this forum is great. Everything Yorkie and people get what your asking about!

I agree with you! Even after 5 years I'm still learning stuff that will help me take care of my babies better!

I recently orderded mink sheen 4 in one conditioner and shampoo...and while i love it i dont think i will be ordering it again. I ordered from amazon.com....the shampoo was only 13 dollars but the shipping was 40.00!!!!! HOLY SMOKES!! i nearly had heart failure...so what lemon is saying is true...alot of the stuff mentioned on here we cant get in canada...it suck bc we are neighbours! Many companies have told me straight out they dont ship to Canada...go figure!

jencar98 · 04-16-2012, 02:50 PM

Iv San Bernard's PEK conditioner is what I use and recommend. They do have a Canadian distributor.

gemy · 04-16-2012, 04:32 PM

Now Now Nancy; I would not recommend spending $3000 at one go. maybe 4 or5 purchases :-)

i always recommend Biogroom Shampoo and the Silk conditioner - good price performance and easily accessible in Canada.

Now if Lemon Lime is in Niagara Falls near the border - oh la la. She has a whole host of shows I can send her to - to do some serious puppy shopping!!

ISB as Jencar stated is a very good product - but I only use the PET conditioner on my blackies --- never needed it for my silk coated boy. The shampoo I love Green Apple not so much the conditioner. But I love ISB mink oil. Add that into your shampoo great results!

The trick beyond rinse rinse rinse shampoo out - is to leave some conditioner in the coat. This will help to coat the hair and if you ar e blowdrying it is an absolute must.

ISB here in Canada you have to order in. But they might carry it in the US in the shows. not too sure.

Another lovely product is Plush Puppy and that you can get at Canadian Shows probably more often than US shows.

#1 all Systems makes a great line - you can go to Rens Pet depot to buy.

The #1 All systems conditioning shampoo - I rated as a 3.5 out of 5. Pretty good for the Blackies - too harsh I felt for my Yorkie. But my show breeder uses this for her crew... and loves it.

Anyhow I better shut up now. You just got my Product Junkie motoring on. lol

I just ordered this for my girls! I can't wait to give it a try. I also ordered the Mela Verde Shampoo and conditioner from them. The lady I spoke to said you can also use this (PEK) watered down in a spray bottle as a detangler. Hoping it works well for them. I must say I heard some things about them in the past but my experience with them this time was

You will want to use a dog shampoo though I use minksheen

Maybe I will also give that company another chance if I try buying the shampoo and conditioner separately.

It will be intereysting to find out what Gemy recommends and the pricing of show dog stuff...

I have heard of Tropiclean but have never used any of their products. I know they make quite a few "all natural" products. I would sure recommend using a separate conditioner. I use both a conditioner and a conditioning spray one Gracie. She does have a long coat and when she is about due for another bath her ends usually need the conditioner in order to comb through smoothly. I really think some coats suffer more from detergents than others. I used a regular shampoo and conditioner on her coat the first year and her coat ended up with the texture of a bleached blonde! Her coat would be all fly away even though I conditioned it.

Have you tried adding Salmon oil to her diet? I use S.O.S (save our skin) 100% Salmon oil and apart from a beautiful,managble silky coat,it also moisturises the skin from the inside

It´s basiclly Omega 3 etc,so it also helps with their joints and heart etc

BJBEVSBABY3 · 04-17-2012, 03:22 PM

I too thought you had to use Puppy Shampoo until I read posts on here. The puppy shampoo made her look as if she hadn't been washed. I am trying to look on here for a good shampoo. I also need a Good Detangler. She has that fine hair and it mats very quickly even though I try to brush every day. She rolls around on the blanket, gets under her blanket and plays and comes out looking like a Wild Thing. I am between a Pet Smart and a Pet Co. so I should be able to find something. No more puppy shampoo, I always wash her little face with a cloth anyway. She is good to bathe.
