i havent heard of those products before, but the blow dryier should not be causing tangles, i brush him out while using the blow dryer to keep that from happening. every groomer use's blow dryers and they never get tangles from it. but the products no, i dont know of either of them. good luck!

The coat handler is a professional shampoo and conditioner. It is a great product and can be bought online. It can be bought ready to use, or you can buy it concentrated and dilute it down. It is recommeded highly by professional groomers and is safe enough to use more than once a week if needed. Search The Coat Handler and you will get several sites where you can buy this product.

I tried many others, and one brand made his skin flky as well... it was caused by the shampoo.... the brand i like best now was recomended to me: "PETSILK" it has a gorgeous smell and does cause dry skin, i do however use the conditioner every other time i bathe him. I use the hair dryer on warm and never had a problem....

Coat handler worked great on my silkier yorkie but Pet Silk works much better on my cottony coated ones.

I love Coat Handler products!! I get mine from Ryans Pet Supply.

I am not familiar with any of the products that are listed in the thread..I can tell you what I use and I have used different ones before and never even finish them because they have dried mine out.. I use products by Spectrum labs. Spectrum Laboratories - Professional Pet Grooming Products or 800-752-3241. I use the silk system shampoo and the conditioner. Sometimes I use Miraculous Cactus conditioner..but I love their products. You can go to the website and read about them...What kind of food do you feed, that can also play a part in their skin...

Where is everyone buying PetSilk?

Belamia · 05-09-2008, 12:51 PM

I Only find PEt SILk on the "PETEDGE.COM" and i am closed to them so i do not pay shipping i can go and pick it up, but i need to call ahead and order it anyways.
I also think it is made by the same manufactory that makes "BIOSILK" products fro humans, the smell is the same and i love to use it on my hair... but i never used BIOSILK on Maxx as i read that the PH on dogs is diferent and we should not use human shampoos....
Try this site, you will find it...

I use coat handler and am happy with it but was thinking of trying something new and vellus was one of them.

YorkieRose · 06-15-2008, 08:41 AM

Coat Handler was developed by a Yorkie show breeder...I love it. The conditioner is water based and can be spritzed (with wate) when brushing...

I use Medi Clean when my york get's dry and flaky. It works and it's affordable.

My suggestion to you would try and get a sample to use first. I have coat handler right now that I've had for many months. It didn't work all that great on Zada or Azrael. It make their coat a bit dry. What works for some, may not work for all. Samples are the best way to try out new things.
