What Kind of SHAMPOO to use? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lexi'smom · 09-19-2005, 05:54 PM

I have a question.....
we bathe lexi about every ten days or so....if she goes longer then that she starts to look real greasy, and her head smells. I was wondering what kind of shampoo i should buy bc I am currently using Fluffy Puppy by Biogroom. She is only 7 months. I just hate to bath her so often, i don't want to dry out her skin, and i hate when she starts to look nappy.
thank you

Someone on here that shows dogs said they actually use mane'n'tail. So thats what I have been using.

My baby looks greasy too, I have completely stopped using conditioner at this point.

Its does well I guess. Its hard to say because since chloe is cottony, conditioner is the most important thing that we use. I have noticed that mane n tale does not leave a residue which is good. I think that was my problem before.

do main and tail help witht he greaseness....
i don't use conditionor either, but by day three or four she looks yucky again
i feel bad for washing her everyweek

I use the CC products. I only give Chewy a bath every 2-3 weeks!!! and I only brush him with ice on ice every 2-3 days. Since using these products I find that his coat needs less maintenance and it doesn't mat.

chloeandj · 09-20-2005, 02:36 PM

The ice on ice makes Tinkerbell even more greasy and right after the bath! I'm disappointed about that as I had heard such good things about it. I can't believe you only have to bathe every 2-3 weeks... I would love that but seriously she feels and looks so gross after a few days.

lexi'smom · 09-20-2005, 04:07 PM

what are CC products? I can't beleive you only wash your furbaby every 2 to 3 weeks...when my husband saw what you posted he laughed and said we have to bathe her every week; we are doing somehting wronge.

scrappymomma · 09-20-2005, 04:22 PM

I use CC also but I wash her about every 5 days. My vet said that is to much and to not do it more than once a month. I truly dont think I could handle that. I use the cond. and ice on ice after shampooing but Im thinking maybe she has cottony hair too becasuse she gets really fluffy. She is still onll 4 months old though. Maybe itll change later. I love the way it smells though.

CC is Chris Christensen products. Brooke on YT sells this as well as other places.

What kind of CHRIS CHRISTENSEN SHAMPOOS is better? There are so many kinds, I am confused. Please help to pick a right shampoo. Thanks

vainchick5 · 09-22-2005, 08:01 AM

I like the Day to Day shampoo and conditioner and the Ice on Ice leave in conditioner. She smells soooooooooooooo good after that with the CC systems.

Liya · 09-22-2005, 08:07 AM

Do you know how to clean their ears? What product to use for that?

frankieA · 09-22-2005, 08:09 AM

i just use baby lavendar shampoo. so far so good. i also touch him up with baby oil so he doesnt get dry.

Winston's Mom · 09-22-2005, 09:28 AM

I bath Winston once a week with the CC day to day system. The first time I used Ice on Ice it did get kind of greasie looking so now I mix it with water. I brush Winston everyday and use the diluted Ice on Ice when I brush and comb him... it's not greasie anymore.

Question for you'all though, do you like the day to day conditioner? The whole system is too long.... with the foaming thing and the after bath thing.... my poor boy gets too anxious and cold. Could I just use the day to day shampoo and conditioner?
