| Diluting PetSilk Products????? I recently bought the Petsilk Rainforest Shampoo and Conditioner- does anyone know whether you can dilute these products similar to the CC products? |

| Yes you can dilute. I think it's 16:1

| Diluting Petsilk Products do you just mix it in their bath water or do you just use a teeny amount right on them? |

| I've never seen "real" diluting directions, so I take a squirt of shampoo in a cup, slowly add warm water and swirl it around gently and then pour that down Zoies back. It works well and still lathers well. I just work it around and then rinse. She still comes out just as fresh as when I poured a bunch of straight shampoo down her back! Conditioner is harder for me, I use it straight cause Zoie's hair takes ALOT of it. |

| I bought 2 bottles the ones that you would use to dye your hair. I got them from Sally's and the best thing they come with a cap. I put 1 oz of shampoo in one bottle and the other ounce of conditioner in the other then I fill the bottle up to the top with water. Just leave enough room so you could shake it. I think the bottle is a total of 8 ozs. I love it because when I'm done i put the little cap on and put the bottles away and use it for next bath time. I have 2 babies and it lasts up to 4 baths. I bathe mine once a week. |

| The bottle idea sounds cool too, the cup works if you don't have a bottle and you are in the kitchen sink, a cup is always handy! |

| I think I like the bottle idea. Thanks everyone! I haven't gotten any of the matching serums just yet. I want to see how I like the product first- I'm actually getting my furbaby on the 26th and CANNOT wait!! I hope Petsilk works- I want my baby smelling fresh!! How often do you bathe yours? |

| I checked the booklet that came with my order and it does say 16:1. I use regular water bottles for the mixing and then use them again the next time too.

| I use bottles to dillute too. Mine are small though I should really look into getting bigger ones. I believe mine are the small travel sized bottles that you get for taking small smounts of shampoo and conditioner with you. I like the idea of bigger bottles though, gonna have to get me some.
