Shampoo/Conditioner

[MY OSCAR]

Oscar is very sensitive to Shampoo..
However Conditioner does not bother him..
Would it be OK to use just Conditioner when I bathe him ?

[Teresiana]

Maybe you could try a cleansing conditioner like Wen? Loreal makes a cleansing conditioner that I use on my own hair. I'm not sure if those products are safe and/or will work well on his coat though. In the winter, I noticed that Yoshi had a flakey tummy & the hair on the top of his back was dry. I would shampoo & condition one week, condition only the next week. I'm not positive if conditioner only will cleanse the coat of grooming products & day-to-day dirt. If you bathe him weekly, maybe you could try a puppy shampoo every other week?

yeah, i don't feel comfortable using the human products..

i am just having a hard time finding a shampoo that does not bother him..

I hear ya re: human products. I'm sure someone will have a good suggestion. There's got to be a good, gentle shampoo for the sensitive babies out there.

Have you tried an oatmeal shampoo

You could also try something that is fragrance free

yes, i think i will have to do that ..
it is hard to find something that is fragrance, dye and soap free..

IOD has a Naturaluxury line that's soap free, paraben & sulfate free. Pet Head is another good one, also cruelty free. But they're not fragrance free. I carry both in my site.
Warren London is another excellent one, but I am all sold out on their shampoos.

I love the Pet Head Strawberry Yogurt Conditioner! It has awesome ingredients and very gentle. It is also a leave in conditioner and doesn't leave the hair greasy! I am going to give the Pup n Fluff shampoo a try.....

Doesn't it smell so yummy? Makes me wanna lick them like a lollipop or ice cream cone loll! The puppy shampoo is tearless & I use that for their face sometimes, very nice!

Is this the Strawberry Yogurt Conditioner you're talking about?
Amazon.com: Pet Head Fur Ball Detangling Spray...
I might want to try some of that. I didn't realize that Pet Head had natural ingredients. That's good to know.

No, it is a pink tube and comes in a creme form. It does smell so yummy! It is called High Maintenance Strawberry Yogurt leave- in Conditioner. It has Aloe Vera, lavender extract and chamomile!

Thanks! I'm going to have to look for that!

Believe it or not.....I found mine at Walmart in the pet section! I didn't know is was going to be so good until I tried it! I love the natural ingredients, too! Teeka has some flaking and itching and I was looking for something gentle and this product has really helped! I want to try the puppy shampoo as it is suppose to be very gentle on the hair and skin.
