some people use human shampoo, I don't because it can really dry out there skin, and thats really not good. The best thing to do is find a good shampoo and use it instead.

That is true, for some dogs, but for most it is fine. Try it and if your dog starts scratching or you think he is dry, keep the Pantene for yourself :p I wouldn't have ever considered Pantene except Shelby's breeder suggested it. She has been doing this for 30 years, so I took her word for it. Works great. 7,8, and 9 months. She doesn't look dry does she :eek:

Buddy Wash, etc.
 

I know some people use human shampoo, especially baby shampoo - but I have found the most luxurious feeling shampoo for my Yorkies. It's called Buddy Wash from Cloud Star. It's a Lavendar & Mint shampoo made with Natural Herbs & oils to Deodorize, moisturize & rejuvenate your pup. It feels wonderful in your hands!

I also use Buddy Splash - it's a leave-on conditioner that can be used as a between bath spritzer to make your dog smell great. It also has Lavendar & Mint in it. It works wonders as a detangler too!! :)

I haven't tried the company's regular conditioner but I might because I got a new furnace this year and it seems to have made the whole house drier including the dogs who have had a few flakes this winter.

I buy these products from my accupuncture vet - yep, he's our regular vet. Absolutely, wonderful. But it looks like Cloud Star is sold all over on the Internet.

The company makes the best products, all natural. Cloud Star also makes wonderful natural dog treats. My little Roxie :aimeeyork and Bubba :aimeeyork absolutely love the little sweet potato men (like gingerbred men) Cloud Star makes natural treats in a variety of flavors and now they've started a point system to get free things off their website when you buy their products ( doesn't matter where you bought their products.)

Check out Cloud Star at www.cloudstar.com

You and you fur babies will love the Buddy products ;)

I bought the CC four bottle set for 10 bucks, and wow was it ever amazing. Baxter was scratching before, now his coat looks great and no scratching. I am sticking with it, I finally found something that works and keeps coat great. :thumbup:

I also tried CC and wasn't that impressed. My groomer told me not to use Pantene because of the alcohol and another chemical that's in them. She suggested Suave, bio-groom, or tropiclean. She said the most important thing was to make sure it was a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and since Lucy has a pretty fine coat I should only brush her about once a week.

Regarding Eye Goop
 

This may sound crazy, but Abbie used to have terribly wet eyes and my son told me to allow her to drink only distilled water. Well, sure enough, her eyes are 100% drier. He said the goop is caused by the minerals and stuff in our (Florida) water. I don't know about all that, but even my husband is convinced. That's all Abbie drinks now.
