finally tried Patene~

[Dan & Corinne]

I've used Pantene for years (conditioner only) and I love what it does for the coat.

Which pantene products are these?

(SRD: I know that fabric!! We were looking at sofa swatches at Lazy Boy, and that is the fabric we chose for the sofa pillows.)

Wow! Everyone's babies look so good. I have never tried Pantene on Mojo - what do you all use and how much, how often...etc. Please share!

I've used Pantene products on Ruby almost from day one, and don't have any problems with dry hair or flaking skin. I'm also aware of numerous others who have the same results. The only one I wouldn't use for an extended length of time is the Ice formula, I believe it contains silicone, and that will dry out hair.

[Dan & Corinne]

i just use the Deep Conditioner - I just put enough on and comb it through then rinse her off really, really good. I mean it - really good rinsing.

Then after towel drying I pou a little Cowboy Magic on as I blow dry. I can comb her for about a week before she gets grimy enough to switch to the pin brush.

thanks guys, actually I was having doubts about long term use, now I feel so much better, I used the classic care as conditioner, and ice shine as shampoo (which I won't use anymore). I've heard people saying pantene products contain silicone, is it just the ice formula? cuz I read through the ingridents list on the classic care conditioner and didn't see anything like it.
I guess if you are really concerned about rinsing the conditioner off, you could think about using after bath from chrinstensen, that should help!

Silicone in hair products is usually called dimethicone. Look for that.

Just wondering... is Pantene over there human shampoo like it is here or a brand for dogs?

Also if it is human shampoo, I thought it wasn't good for dogs?

I bath Gypsy every 5-7 days as she gets greasy quickly, do you think I could use it on her that often or once in a while? Would I have to wait till she is older, 15wks today? Oh, and there is loads of different types... which do you use to get the best results????

Oh, I ask toooo many questions when I don't know something... I'm like a kid!!!!

After rinsing the shampoo off, I put Pantene Pro-V Intensive Treatment, leave it on Maggie for about 7-10 minutes and then rinse really good... The result is OUTSTANDING!!!

Katiuscia & Maggie...

I bought some of this and I am going to try it on Jewels

Pantene here is a human hair product. You will have some state that human hair products are not good to use on dogs, as the ph is different with dogs and humans, and the hair products are formulated with this in mind. Others will tell you the difference is so slight, that it does no harm to use human products. I've also had breeder/exhibitors tell me using the Pantene products will work just fine.

My personal experience is that human products have not hurt Ruyb's coat at all. I've have bathed her every 4-5 days for the past 7 mos, using primarily Pantene or other human hair products. I use the Protein-V formula, the Smooth/Sleek formula, and Aussie 3-min. miracle conditioner. For Christmas I was given Crown Royale Bio-vite shampoo and have been using it recently, the result I get with it are no better/worse than human products.

Thought it was the same. I use Pantene on my own hair, their coloured hair range is the only one that keeps my purple streaks from turning pink to quickly.

How old was Ruby when you first started to use it on her? I know you posted that you used if from day one but I didn't know if you'd had her from a pup. I love the smell of pantene and her puppy shampoo is nearly gone so I'm thinking of trying her with some, but not the colour formula.

I was a little off on my math, it has been 8 mos now, the months go by quickly, lol. She was 20 weeks old when I got her back in May of 2006, so not exactly a young pup, still tiny though at 1.70 lbs. I never used Pantene's color formula, it might be the best one to use, as I'm sure it is gentle for colored hair. Anyway, except the Ice formula, I wouldn't hesitate to use a Pantene product.

Well I might try her with Pantene when we run out of puppy shampoo.

Thanks for your help with all my questions!
