Pantene for Dogs????
 

So I was talking to a lady I bought a few supplies for & she said I could just use Pantene on Maxx to shampoo/condition him. I mena I use Pantene on me, and I love it, but can I really use it on my dog???? :confused:

I use dog shampoo and Patene conditioner and have for some time now.

Same here:)

it's a ph issue. that's why we should use dog shampoo.

my groomer said specifically NOT to use Pantene because of a specific ingredient that would dry out their skin and coat but I can't remember which ingredient.

My Breeder has shown her yorkies at Crufts and has been showing/breeding for 45 years, she told me that she uses Pantene conditioner on her yorkies..they all have fantastic shiny coats..so I use it too on Pixie..her skin seems fine so far.

I have used it for years on my dogs. it makes their little coats look great. The only one I don't use the conditioner on, is my show girl. She has special conditions but i do use the Classic Clean pantene shampo on her to get the show products out.

Sooooo dog shampoo & Pantene conditioner?? Sounds good to me!! Ha Ha I did it today & Maxx smells wonderful & feels OH so soft!!! I love it!!! So now can someone recommend a good shampoo for him?? He is 12 weeks, so not sure if he still needs a puppy shampoo. Right now we have Hartz puppy, but I know Hartz isn't the highest quality!! I would like something tearless, that smells good & is good for his coat :0) He is quite fluffy!! Ha Ha Thank you guys!!! :D

If you happen to remember, let me know!!! Maybe they have taken out since then, since so many people seem to use it?? I def don't want to dry him out though, so please let me know if you remember, thanks!!! :animal-pa

I use Pantene Ice Shine on mine. Once a week, we dont seem to have any issues. I also blow dry, brush and then spray my cologne "Drakkar" on him. This last about a week then time to do it all over again. Mostly because he hate's leaving his hair up and it gets in his mouth and brush's against his wet nose. Guess this is the price you pay having a long haired yorkie.

when i first got bella i used pantene because i love the smell...then she started to flake and scratch we just cant use it

once in a while
 

is OK to use Pantene shampoo on a dog. I use it in my grooming salon and onn my own dogs about every 4-5th shampooing, just to strip the built up product off of their coats. I do not recommend it as the only shampoo you use. It is made for human Ph levels and not for the dog's Ph levels. It can cause dry skin, rash, and itching.
All human grade creme rinse's have a wax base and can clog a dogs pores. I do not use creme rinse on every dog. If they already have dry skin it will make it much worse. If they need a little conditioner, then I dilute it about
50-75% before using it.
I do like to change up on shampoos and products (but all the same name brand) as the coat "gets used to it" and it does not do the same good things when it is used over and over.
In my salon I use the same company's products because they are all natural and good for the pets, the groomer and the environment. They are made in the USA too, (another thing I like to do in my shop) by a company called
"E-Z-Groom". I have been using their products for nearly 17 years. I have strayed and tried others, but always came back to them.
www.ez-groom.com or 1-800-777-5899.
I highly recommend their grooming products.
When I showed my dogs, I never went into the ring with out their finishing sprays, anti-stat sprays and their best stuff "ez-glide" at my ringside table.

Tell them you are a groomer, they will send you a huge sample pack for a low introductory fee. Well worth it for the large size bottles of shampoo, groomng products, cologne...all kinds of groomng products.
Ask for "Suzie" and tell her that Sue from Hot Diggity Dogs sent you.

I use Johnson's baby shampoo on their little faces and use Pantene and a oatmeal shampoo on the body. I love the way Pantene makes their coats so easy to groom.... I do change shampoos but always go back to Pantene. I too, put a little Drakar or Shalimar behind their ears to make them smell "beautiful".... spoiled pups.....

I use the Pantene Ice Shine Conditioner after I use the Minksheen shampoo. Toby has a lovely coat!!!:thumbup:

be careful if you have a yorkie with alergy issues. I used panteen conditioner for a few months, and loved the way their hair combs and shines, but I have two with alergy issues, one got flaky sores and had some yeast in it. Just keep an eye out, Id hate any of you to go thru the last bout we had with yeast sores.

You can see your babies lovely shiny coat in your avatar..beautiful!;)

I have used pantene on Thor and Harry. It does make them sliky soft, and smell sooo good! Well usually I would use the puppy shampoo, so it wouldn't sting their eyes, and then finish with the deep conditioning mask by pantene.
I think it all depends on your dogs skin and sensitivity. You know what works well, and what doesn't!

My hair stylist would kill me if i used pantene on myself..its actually not good for human hair..it causes buildup. It leaves your hair soft because it leaves a waxy coating on it. LoL I got a 30 min speech when i told her thats what i used. So I wouldn't use it on my ittybit.

I'm still looking for a really good shampoo for her. The best I've found so far is FourPaws MagicCoat natural oatmeal shampoo. It doesn't leave her really shiny but it has done wonders for the matting problems we used to have.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I would NEVER use Pantene on my own hair, so obviously I would definitely NEVER use it on Xavier's!

I've not tried Four Paws, but I love Cloudstar's Buddy Wash & Buddy Splash in Rosemary & Mint! Xavier smells fantastic and looks great also since we've used it!!

When Bella's coat was long it tended to matt easily and I used Pantene deep conditioning mask. It helped a lot. Her hair was super soft.:)

MinkSheen is a great shampoo for yorkie...hehe

Is that made for dogs? I am still trying to fina a good shampoo for Maxx, but I do like the Pantene conditioner for him...

Our vet said that baby shampoo is also fine (similar to puppy shampoo) b/c it's tear free. I use Bumble & Bumble conditioner on Roxy and occasionally I gloss her with a John Freida Gloss. I brought the vet both bottles and he said to go for it- both are so gentle they work great. That said, at $50 a bottle, that conditioner had better be good.

I use several different human grade products on my show Silkies hair...I use Pantene Pro V Daily Mositurizing Shampoo, L'Oreal Vive Pro Body Infusing and Kerastase Ban Mirror shampoos. I switch which ones I use and try to alternate them every other bath in order to get a good mix of shampoos. I have worked with a professional handler and these are the shampoos they have suggested I use on my dogs. I started using them about a month ago now and we have not had any problems. I also use the Biolage Conditioning Balm to condition their hair once a week.

I think it depends on the coat texture/type and how often you bath your dog on what you should use.

I use Pantene and both myself and my baby. She's never had any rash/skin issues. Her hair is always beautiful, soft, and shiny afterwards.

My breeder recommended Pantene, but I had already bought Pethead "tears for fears" dog shampoo (I love the bedhead products for myself, as I have pretty sensitive skin and can't use Pantene personally). I quick picked up a bottle of Pantene conditioner for long hair, and she is so soft and shiny and smells really yummy ... so I ended up doing dog shampoo, Pantene conditioner as well! :aimeeyork

Pantene has Polemars and eventually will dry out the coat and damage it.

Where do u get the Milksheen shampoo?

I was googling the net and it brought me here.

I'm not sure if it's the pool water or just being outside with me around the pool.
Anyway, Dexter is getting dry skin from either or from the pool.
I was wondering if conditioner would help his dry scalp?

Sensitive skin
 

Our pup had a beautiful coat and then when she turned 2 she developed hair thinning and had a half-dollar sized bald spot. We have had to treat her with antibiotics and prednisone. We still don't know the exact cause of her issues, but we had to find a hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner. We now use Earthbath Hypoallergenic products and she has done very well with them. She comes out clean but not stripped of oils and conditioned but not coated with anything. Solving her skin issue has been so hard that I don't think I would venture to use Pantene or any other human product.
