Purple Shampoo? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

How are you applying the conditioner? I have been leaving the full concentration in for 5 minutes after each bath but wonder what else I should do. She is losing her puppy coat and gets fuzzy's stuck in her fur and matts quite easily. I am trying some sprays to keep her fur from matting but would like to know if you or someone has been using the conditioner diluted to spray on afterward or something else. Thanks!

Also, I have never, ever had a problem with Toto's skin.

Yes, I leave some in Toto's coat. Sometimes I just apply the concentrate [about 2 tablespoons] all over with my hands and then just add a little water and massage her all over. [you can feel it when it is distributed well] Sometimes I dilute about 2 tablespoons to a cup of water and spray it throughout her hair, massage her coat and leave it in. Let us know how it works for you!

Thanks, I'll try to spray it on and leave it in after her next bath. I used to do that when she was a pup but have since sprayed it on and then towel-dryed her. I'll try to spray it after towel-drying and see if it helps. I also put in a little olive oil after her last bath, the size of a quarter in my hand, as was suggested on another posting and that really seemed to help. Thanks!
