| Questions for Minksheen users, please help!! I gave Paco a bath last night with the Minksheen sample I got the other day. It smells great and I noticed his fur more full and fluffy looking. Also his skin looks a little better (still somewhat dry skin) but I don't find his fur to be very much shinier ... will that come with time of using the Minksheen? Also I've heard that when bathing your furbaby you should shampoo them twice to make the fur shinier? Is that true?

| Be sure that you shake the bottle thoroughly to mix the the shampoo. Let the lather set for about 5 minutes, rinse well and then lather up again and let stand for another 5 minutes and rinse --- be sure to rinse ALL the shampoo out. I don't use a brush, I always comb and the more you comb/brush the shiner he will get |

When I bathed him, I let it set for 2-3 mins as the bottle indicated, but I'll try it your way on his next bath. Thank you!!

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I don't dilute it, and I don't think its needed, just make sure you shake the bottle to mix all the oils in it, I also leave for 5 min. and follow with Pantene, I think it's slick and shine or something like that, I never wash twice, unless he's had gotten into "something smelly" , I think excess washing may dry the skin and hair instead of doing some good IMO. I also add a few drops of Rosemary oil to the sample bottle, it's a natural insect repellent

| Somebody use Summerwind Protect-A-Coat oil (rose oils) after Minksheen shampoo is it safe? Last edited by sergejv; 02-12-2009 at 06:33 AM. |

| My girl has a cotton coat and I find it doesn't make her shiny, just soft fluffy and very clean. |

| Yes, that's how my little guy looks like after using Minksheen (he also has a cotton coat).

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | At the pharmacy, a little bottle, just like the scented oils, but it's natural, make sure to use just a few drops, otherwise the hair will look oily, I do like it's smell.
