| Hot Oil Treatment Do any of you ever use v05 Hot Oil Treatments on your yorkie's hair? I've thought about trying it with Lacy but wanted to see if anyone has any experience with it. Thanks

| I've been giving dogs hot oil treatments for many years. It's wonderful for the skin and coat. In the winter months when we heat our homes, and the air is so dry, they tend to get itchy just like we do so I give them hot oil treatments once a week and use a good conditioner. |

| Do you follow the directions just like you would with people. I haven't done one on myself in years (although if I buy some for Lacy I might do one on me too), but I remember the directions saying to heat the oil and apply to hair. I think it recommended wrapping your hair in plastic or something for like 5-10minutes. Then rinse and shampoo your hair. Is this what you do? Would you like wrap syran wrap around their body while the oil is on before you shampoo it out?

| I heat the oil in a glass of water in the microwave, apply and wrap them in a hot towel from the dryer for 15 minutes then rinse. |

| okay, I bought the V05 Hot oil treament. It says it works best when rinsed one minute after application. But you leave yours on for 15minutes? Just want to make sure i do this right.

| I did the hot oil treatment tonight! Lacy and I both got one LOL. I left it on for about 10 minutes. I love the results! Her hair seems much softer and silkier and is very shiny. I think we're going to have to keep doing this!
