Get the kit that has the Day to Day shampoo in it.

Awesome

. . . thanks for sharing the site . . . yes, the sampler kit is perfect for trying it out first before investing in the regular bottles.

Chewey's Mom, do you carry this as well? I would rather patronize your business if you have the sampler kit. Otherwise, I will go with this site. And if it works, I will order the regular size bottles from you.

I am excited and cannot wait to order . . . I hope it works for my baby!

I finally ordered the kit and cannot wait for its arrival. . . . oh I do hope Tiger's skin will love it . . .

C&C is really the best. Princess has never had dry skin, so I'm really not sure what you should use for that, but then it could be her skin isn't dry because of C&C. Because they are so small the sample pack last's a long time. I'm sure you will find you like it, and will be able to order again in time before you run out.

You could also try Dr. Foster & Smith. Here's the link to the web site.

The oatmeal shampoo and nourishing conditioner it only 6 bucks each. My friend just got it last week for her Yorkie who's also suffering from dry skin and she's been raving about it. Good luck.

and it's also good for her heart. I run a humidifier and it helps both of us.

Wolftrap, I finally got the products (I got the Day to Day kit as you suggested) and tried them on Tiger last friday night. I must say I am a bit dissapointed as his puppy hair ended up kinda getting thicker and coarser. So, I am thinking that maybe I must be doing something wrong, especially since everyone that has tried these products have raved over them. The kit comes with 4 sample containers. Was I supposed to use all of them? I am not sure if I should have omitted the "thick & thicker" bottle, as I think that is what caused it. Can you shed some light as I am so confused!

I have the same system of 4 sample bottles. I have only used the first two!! ANd I like it. But I do switch off and use my own shampoo and condition on mine.

Grizzly pet products has a salmon oil with the omega fatty acids, alot of the dog stores has it. Chester has dry sensitive skin as well, he gets his bath at petsmart with hypoallergenic oatmeal and it works well.

Thanks guys! I'm looking for a remedy for Sully, too. We bathe him once a week.....well, sometimes even less than that if I can help it because he's got such DRY skin! Poor guy, no wonder it itches him all the time!

I thought about putting vitamin E on his food?!! Just a thought though. I like the flax-seed oil idea. I'll have to go get him some of that!!!

Where do you purchase the eagle pack food. I've never heard of it. My Cassi's scratching alot and I'm seeing alot of flaking. She is 10 months old and has been shedding. I'm changing food and shampoos. Have you ever heard of a Yorkie Shedding, possibly when she is getting her adult coat? I am really concerned. She was at the vet 6 weeks ago. He said she looked great! Also where do you purchase flax oil? I had a toy poodle before Cassi ( he died with cancer). I never had these types of problems with him. Yorkies are more like children are they not? I'm always so nervous about the slightest thing. My family thinks I am plum silly! Maybe I am but this pooch has really grabbed my heart.

Thanks,
Cassi's Mom
