Mink sheen shampoo

[Britster]

I love Minksheen and I actually like the smell. I don't like the more fruity light smells that don't last on him longer than like 10 minutes out of the bath... Minksheen lasts and I love that!! He can go for 3-4 days and I still smell it on him. Some shampoos I've tried smell amazing out of the bottle and when you are scrubbing it on the dog but then afterwards I can't even smell it. Like I have Tropiclean right now and sure it makes him pretty shiny and soft... but by the next morning, I smell nothing. I've been using BioGroom Silk Creme after shampooing because it makes him really soft! But yes the Minksheen makes him really soft and shiny! Not sure if the flea repellent works... esp. with me using a different conditioner afterwards but oh well

Have you found a shampoo that works like Minksheen but smells better?

I've been using Biogroom Oatmeal and Creme rinse conditioner, and Nootie for the face. but really any conditioner makes Uni's hair so silky bc it's so thin and silky to begin with. I swear I found a flea on Uni when we were using Minksheen LOL. but that's not why I don't use it anymore, just can't get used to the scent. Otherwise it works wonderfully. I really really wish they would make another scent, I don't care about the insect repellant anyway.

I totally agree. Maybe we should all write to Minksheen and tell them to drop the smell cause it does not deter fleas.

Where do you buy the Minksheen and petsilk? I'm in good ole Canada where things are harder to find sometimes unless you buy online.

I absolutely LOVE Minksheen. And I really love the scent. Here is the website: Pet Care

Yeah I'm with you! The smell deters me! I did get a chance to chat with Minksheen a while back when I first tried it, they are on YT on occasion. They didn't have plans to make any new scents or change their current formula.

I've heard nothing but rave reviews on it...but...am I the only one freaked out that it is made from the fat of Minks?
I heard some Mink shampoos use a nonlethal method of fat extraction (using needles to harvest fat off Minks) but most involve the "harvesting of Minks at maturity" anyone know the extraction means of Minksheen specifically I couldn't find anything on it and haven't received a response when I emailed them to ask...

Oh sorry... I mean maybe they should have an alternative less musky version for those who don't. I don't mind it, but do finish off with my fav Petsilk Rainforest conditioner.... the smell I adore

Just got some from AMD--the smell will take some getting used to!!!! but it is not horrible by any means. It smells better coming out of the bottle than on my boys but OH WELL. My question--if I use a conditioner after it, will the effects of Minksheen lessen?? Meaning if it is going to deter fleas, or make their coats FAB-will a separate conditioner strip the Minksheen???

I ordered some on Monday & am still waiting on it arriving. I'm holding off ZoE's bath til it gets here. It's day 8 since the last bath & she's getting stinky...
