| Samples of shampoos??? Can you still get samples of some of the shampoos, I would really like to get samples before I spend a lot on shampoo, I know everyone has a different opinion on shampoos, but is biogroom and minksheen that good? Also is the internet the only place to buy shampoo for yorkies that is any good? thanks in advance for any advice. |

| I really like both of the ones you mention. Minksheen sells a sample size on their website. Biogroom sent me samples when I wrote to them. I love their Fluffy Puppy and conditioner for puppies -- no tear formula and smells great. I use Minksheen and love the results both in shiny, silky coats and natural insecticide that has worked well for my pups.

ISB is great too, not too sure if they have a sampler pack or not. And BTW hubby likes it for his hair too. lol IOD I really like as well, in fact I alternate between ISB and IOD. I think they sell small bottles of their shampoos and conditioners. You need to try them out for at least 4-6 washings to see if they work out for you and your dog.

| Biogroom is very generous with their samples. I use the conditioner and shampoo for my Gio and it smells wonderful, and works very well. You won't be sorry if you buy it. Quote:

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I love trying new products so I samples are great way to learn if you like the product. I have so many shampoos that I tried once or twice! Biogroom will send a free sample pack to you if you email and ask for it. I use their Shampoo and conditioner, even though I've tried many others products, I always go back to Biogroom. Joey's breeder recommended it and it's her belief that if you take care of the skin, the hair will take care of itself! She recommends a through rinsing and always use a conditioner. Here's the Biogroom Company, just click on "contact us." Bio-Groom - Exceptional Pet Care Products for Over 30 Years Bio-Groom - Exceptional Pet Care Products for Over 30 Years

Also when adding shampoo, don't just pour it over the back, instead pour into hand or alternatively onto the side hairs. Use a downward motion of your hands, not a circular one, to avoid entangling the hair. After shampoo the hair should be literally squeaky clean. Always as you say use a conditioner. I use Biogroom Oatmeal condition on head facial furnishings, and other conditioners on main coat. Also play with the dilution rates, to see what works best for your dog's coat, which might change over time, and in different seasons. Also for show final conditioner rinse out with cool water not hot.

| Question on this. Mocha always shivers when I try to leave the condition on him as instructed. So I rinse him off quickly. But now you say cool water. Wouldn't that make him cold? Especially with weather now? Help! Thank you very much. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | [QUOTE=MochaBoyMom;3333818]Question on this. Mocha always shivers when I try to leave the condition on him as instructed. So I rinse him off quickly. But now you say cool About 15 or 20 minutes before I am going to wash Razz, I'd bump up the heat a few degrees. I throw a clean towel in the dryer to heat it up when I am washing him. After he is throughly rinsed of the shampoo, I put on the conditioner. If it is really really cold and he is shivering, I take warm towel out of dryer, and wrap him in towel and hold him for the 2 to 3 minutes for the conditioner. Then I add another clean towel to the dryer. Heat that towel up rinse conditioner off and place new clean warm towel around him. Done! If your puppy is very young forego a cool rinse just use lukewarm water. I blowdry immediately after bath. Hope that clarifies for you and gives you some suggestions

| Don't think you'll find one package of multiple brands. You are going to have to contact individual dealers for each brand.
