Oh that really stinks!! Maybe you can order products online? Surely there must be a way... NO DOG SHAMPOOS? I think that should be against the law LOL!!

I've heard Pantene coats the hair and causes build up. So I've never used it on my kids. I like Coat Handlers or Vellus depending on the type hair.

you're on the internet now. are there any online outlets that will deliver to your location?

diva pup · 02-07-2006, 08:05 AM

Jan, I am sure you are right about causing build up but now I have a question. When you say depending on the hair type which do you prefer for which hair type? I have never tried Vellus products, one of the few I haven't tried LOL.
So... I have a semi soft coated dog and a silk coated dog which products of those 2 do you recommend for which?

Yup I am on the internet. There's alot I have to explain about this place, so that you all don't think I'm just being a pain in the butt. LOL!!! It's complicated. I'll try and explain the best I can. Here goes:

Tunisia is a country with a restricted currency, which basically means you cannot buy Tunisian Dinar anywhere else but in Tunisia.

Because of the currency being restriced, International credit card transactions are not allowed if you are using a Tunisian bank account. If I still had an account in the UK, I could buy things and have them shipped here. But alas, I no longer have a UK bank account. So, I am unable to buy anything on the internet.

If it's not for sale here, I cant buy it. I can wait until I fly to France next time and look for something there. But as you can imagine, taking a flight just to shop for shampoo is a bit nuts, lol!!

I have to make the best of the situation, and try and improvise for most things. I really want to do whats best for my puppy. So please forgive my stupid questions. I am soooooo stuck between a rock and a hard place here.

maybe we can set up a trading forum here on YT. someone can send you some shampoo and in return, you send them something else.

a barter system of sorts.

Are Coat Handlers and Vellus dog shampoos? If so then are they good brands?

diva pup · 02-07-2006, 08:17 AM

Or maybe you can find an all natural shampoo for people there maybe oatmeal based or goats milk or something. That might not be as bad.

I like the Vellus for the silky coats and Coat handlers on the softer ones. Sometimes I switch around. I'm like you I've tried just about everything out there. I spend more $$$ on my kids than myself.LOL

I have shampoo & conditioner from petsmart that I only used once. I'll have to check how much shipping is, but maybe I can send that to you. and in return maybe you could send me some native jewelry or something.

Ponyup · 02-07-2006, 08:29 AM

FYI on pantene, My hairstylist says it's horrible to use on human hair, so it's probably not great for puppy hair either. It has silicone in it which after time can cause your hair to break. Also she said one of the chemicals in pantene is what they use to clean airplanes so I guess it's pretty strong. And she didn't just tell me all this so I would buy there products because she knew if I changed I was gonna change to dove. I did love how great looking Logan's hair looked when I used it, but it wasn't worth risking damage in the long run.

I will have a REALLY CLOSE look at the different types of shampoo when I go to the supermarket here next time. Fingers crossed i'll find something you have suggested. Thanx for being helpful

I really appreciate all of your ideas.
