We use the Static Stabilizer (a bottle lasts forever!), Satin Creme leave in conditioner for topknots, and the shampoo and conditioner. These are on my wish list for re-order. The conditioner is the only one I feel safe using near Max's sensitive eyes.

| Sorry I missed your earlier post. I bought directly: Vellus Inc. They have a sampler of shampoo, conditioner, the satin creme, and static stabilizer. It goes a long way and I would suggest trying that at first. THe shampoo and conditioner are concentrates. I'm going to contact them again about carrying their products in my store. They were not looking for retailers before, but now it looks like they are.

| Is there a certain coat handlers shampoo or conditioner you like? My Tucker is 8 years old and I've always used Petco but it took getting a Havanese puppy at Christmas to make me realize grooming two u want higher quality products. Also, if I was to try the Chris Christensen Ice on Ice de tangling spray for mats, any thoughts on it or anyone use? |

| ditto,,,except actually, after brushing well, I use an inexpensive shampoo that I dilute and then apply in very small quantities to well wetted coat. After rinsing coat thoroughly, very important to avoid the skin irritation, also to use an almost room temperature temp for the water, too hot or warm and skin is also irritated. Then I also use a diluted rinse of Pantene or Dove conditioner.....Yorkie_Girl is right on with that the coats are easier to comb out, dry more quickly and smell so wonderful...we bathe our darlings almost weekly and bathtime is just a love fest as they love the attention, the hands on massage like and the one on one is very special time...eventually they will let you clean their ears, between toes, trim nails, brush teeth the trust that is built between us is really precious. have fun, just remember to rinse until clear with moderately temp water....cant go wrong and diluted amounts of a drop or two in quart of warm water,,,,all you need.cover baby's eyes and ears, they also dont like it in their nose or mouth.[QUOTE=Yorkie_GirL;33674]I Actually been using baby shampoo (Johnson & Johnson) and then for conditioner I use either Pantene Pro-v or Dove .. I found this out from another board that im on. not only is their hair super silky, they smell super good all the time |

| I use Petco Oatmeal shampoo (helps with dry skin) and Pantene pro-v conditioner. I never realized how great conditioner is until I used it on my dog. I never use it in my hair its to short. |

| Human shampoo is more alkaline than should be used on a dog's coat on a regular basis. Most of the popular baby shampoo, though they do not sting the eyes, are also alkaline. The human ph is different than a dog's. Most of the more popular dog shampoos contain sulfate and other chemicals that strip the coat of its needed natural oils. When you use those products it causes the skin to produce even more oil to make up for what was lost. That is why within a few days after a bath your dog is greasy as before. Some companies add a natural ingredient and some conditioners in an attempt to counteract that stripping action. The coat smells good and feels nice temporarily but there are no truly long lasting effects and if your dog has a skin problem you will not achieve any healing effects. You can find good all natural dog shampoos but you have to search online usually. Yorkie Splash is a very good shampoo for normal skin. They make it at home from all natural ingredients. You can find it on the Yorkieshamoo.com website. If your dog already has a serious skin problem you may need something with a few more healing properties in it. There is nothing natural or healing about putting chemicals on your pet's skin. (Or your own for that matter) We all are used to reaching for whatever the corporate people want to sell us. Baby shampoo may work on your pet's face but there are other natural products that are safer. You should not let anything but water get in their eyes anyway. |
