| I'm growing ZoE's hair out, so I use an extra conditioner too to minimize breakage. I've not found a good dog conditioner I like, so I've been using either Nexxus Humectress or Pantene Fine Fragile to Strong. I actually think I prefer the Pantene....Humectress is not the same consistency as it was years ago and doesn't seem to work as well on my pup or myself!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I just wanted to mention that I found out last week that they do use products from minks to make this oil . I previously thought (and don't know why) that the name 'Mink Sheen' was named that bc the sheen it produced was similar to that of the mink. I hope no one takes this info the wrong way, but just thought I'd mention it since many people here do like to be aware of this info

| I bought it off Amazon...plus shipping is was $22!! They kill Minks to make this shampoo??? Well, then I really need to find another shampoo!! I think I will try this next. i haven't heard of other YTer's using this so I will put a review up when I use it...it won't be until a long time though as I still have a TON of shampoo left for my babies, but I'm just planning in advance

I have this shampoo. Got it from Jenny at toplinepet.com. She has a special on it where you can get the shampoo, conditoner, spray, and treats for $30. Don't know if she still has the special going on or not.

| Bummer! Seems like all Mink Oil is obtained by killing minks. Did find out that Iv San Bernard does not test products on animals |

(This isn't in response to you) but I find it highly hypocritical that many people that balk at using products like minksheen, that has a very small amount of mink oil, have no problem recommending leather furniture for people with dogs, drive cars with leather interiors, have some mightly nice shoes & purses and have no problem cheering on America's favorite pastime. A 100lbs of raw leather absorbs over 20lbs of mink oil....that's a heckuva lot of minks.

| I love Minksheen too! I normally do not have to use an after-conditioner. But occasionally their hair seems dryer than it should be and I use Espress Luxury Remoisturizer. It is the best stuff! Espree has several other conditioners that are great too -- this is just my favorite.
