| CC Spectrum Ten vs. ISB apple Hello everyone It is time for me to buy new cosmetics for my babies. I have three brands on my mind: 1. CC Spectrum Ten, 2. ISB and their apple line(for long-coated breeds), 3. Matrix sleek (human, pro line). I have heard a lot of good reviews about every of them but I really cant decide which one should I buy. And maybe you have better brands than them? Please let me know what do you think I also heard a lot about Bio Groom Silk Conditioner. Kisses from Poland |

| I have tried CC Spectrum Ten and ISB Mela Verde (apple). I honestly like both of them as far as how soft and shiny they make my girls. My only issue is I wish the scent lasted longer. I like my girls to smell "good". As far as the lasting scent, Yorkie Splash and Shine is top on my list. I have never used Matrix on my girls but I do use it for myself. I really like it. However, I didn't think it was good to use human shampoo on Yorkies. maybe someone with more knowledge can answer. Also, check out ISB PEK conditioner. It is great!

| I have used CC Spectrum 10, and it works well. I haven't tried IVSB Apple, but I imagine anything they make is probably good. I also love PEK conditioner. I agree about not using human shampoos on dogs. Human shampoo is a much different pH level, two levels different than ours, and it is far too drying for their hair and skin.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I would probably use the ISB apple shampoo and then their PEK conditioner. I've used the apple conditioner and prefer the PEK. Your girl's coat would do well with the PEK, I don't think you would be as happy with the apple conditioner.

| Thank you so much for help I will buy PEK conditioner for sure, I am really curious how it will work on my girl's coat. Should I dilute it? I also ordered Biogroom Silk Conditioner, we will see Hope it wont be as bad as Pure Paws for my dogs |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Use the PEK full strength. I take a small amount, rub between my fingers, then work it into the coat. For the best deep conditioning, leave the PEK on the coat for 5 minutes or longer. I'll even comb it through and that takes some time with a full coat. Rinse with slightly warm (just above tepid) water. You can take a small amount of PEK, dilute with water in a spray bottle and use it for a grooming spray. You have to really shake-up the mixture, as the PEK doesn't mix easily. Make sure when you're brushing or combing her coat to use a grooming spray of some kind, brushing out a dry coat will break hair. The PEK will make her coat very silky and even slippery in your hands. Some that show have to adjust for topknots (using less PEK on that area), because the silky hair will slip out of a topknot easier.

| Have used both the Spec 10 and the ISB and prefer the Apple. Could not live without PEK strength and as a grooming spray. I agree the Yorkie splash and shine smells the best and I often use their grooming spray for their sent.

| I just tried the Black Passion line from IV San Bernard. I love it! Just another option for you to look into.
