Does anyone use Minksheen shampoo???

MauiGirl · 03-27-2011, 10:47 AM

Yes, and I love it. Do a search on this forum and you will see many opinions about it.

Some people don't like the slight scent of citronella or cedar it has (which mildly repels fleas). I don't smell that cause I use PetSilk rainforest conditioner after it.

I do love the silky feel of both my silky coated and cotton coat doggies using Minksheen. I also love that it doesn't dry their skin.

What do you mean??

Mink sheen says that it is concentrated and can be diluted for "professional" use.I didn't need much to wash Ziva and the bottle I got was watery so it was hard to just use a little, so- I saved a foaming hand soap bottle and used that,diluting the shampoo 4:1 with water and now have an easy to use foaming shampoo!

If you are sensitive to smells, you won't like it. It does its job wonderfully, but I couldn't get past the smell. I would put off bathing Uni bc I preferred her stink to the fragrance. I like fruity scents, this was too musky for me. Reminds me of old guys who douse on too much cologne.

Did you dilute it or use straight out of bottle. Most people who don't like the smell found that they were not diluting it per directions.

Great idea, the foaming bottle. I'm going to try that cause I always use tooooo much.

yup, 4:1, its just WAY too strong of a scent for me. If I could get it without the frangrance, itd be the perfect shampoo.

I'm not too wild about the fragrance (but not that sensitive either), and I would prefer they'd make it smell different even if it didn't supposedly repel fleas cause that's not why I use it. I just love the way it makes their fur so silky. So I use PetSilk Rainforest conditioner after, and it is a smell that makes me drool.

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

I love MinkSheen. Wasn't too crazy about the smell at first but it's growing on me.

Same here. Now I kind of like it. It certainly makes Piccolo's coat look lovely.

What a great ideal. Thanks so much!

I love minksheen. The smell doesn't bother me I kind of like it. It leaves Pistols coat so soft and managable after a bath.

BlondeLocks · 03-28-2011, 08:11 AM

I've been using it last couple of shampoos and love it. Smell doesn't bother me. Kody's coat is super soft.
