| My "kids" love PetSilk. I personally won't use anything else. Makes a difference in their coat the first time I used it and it just keeps getting better. One of my girls coat was kind of dry and wirey, not anymore. She looks beautiful. I like that fact that it can be diluted 16:1. I save lots of money and my dogs look great!!!

| I use petsilk on Twinkie & I think it's alright. The shampoo & conditioner work great & the leave in conditioner works great right after a bath when her hair is still wet. Both the shampoo & conditioner can be diluted with water, I only dilute the shampoo since Twinkies skin dries out so easily - makes it last so loooong. I'm not particularly fond of the leave in conditioner for everyday grooming since it makes her hair feel coated & gross after it dries, especially after it's been a few days since she had a bath - almost like it builds up in her hair. I also have the detangling spray but have never really used it much since I bought some cheap detangler/dematter spray from petsmart and it works amazingly. I did just order some CC ice on ice so maybe I will like that better.

| I dilute both the shampoo and conditioner. It's 16 parts water to 1 part shampoo (or conditioner) Both rinse out so easy. I also use the Silk Serum, but you can only use a tiny little bit. It makes them feel so silky and shine so pretty.

| This is my MOST FAVORITE Petsilk shampoo/conditioner combo..it's the texture line #1 for fine coats, its wonderful on Yorkies http://mjm-petsilk.com/pet26.htm I also use the silk spirits when blowing the coat dry, about half way through, I put a DROP (depending on the size of the dog, and the coat type/volume) on my hand, rub my hands together, then work through the coat focusing where it needs it the most, and LEAST on the back, most on the ends and legs and underbelly. I have found the above shampoo/conditioner to be pet silk's best product in that category, though I also like the coat oil, and the show ring mist, and use occasionally, though the oil is heavy, and I usually use only for wrapping between baths, and the mist, I usually only use on grooming customers as I have my own favorites for my own show dogs. Hope this helps.

I use a lot of Christensens Products also (their brushes can NOT be beat, they DO NOT scratch, and the tines do not crush down) but one product of theirs I DONT care for is the Ice on Ice, it works for a little while, the builds up, and is not very good. I quit using it a long time ago. I love their day to day shampoos and conditioners, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE their Peace and Kindness, I could rave all day actually about a lot of their products. For a good detangling product, try Laser Lites Mattless, it is expensive, but WORKS LIKE A CHARM! If you want a nice shine product to use in conjunction with that, try their "SILK"..also expensive, but both are very concentrated... I put the silk in a spray bottle with water, and spray on as I am blow drying. Both WILL build up, so a clarifying shampoo is needed monthly.. try Neutragena.

| I was crazy with Chris Christensen products when the dogs were small, but as they grew I found Petsilk to be much more effecient - and with a better scent - not as long lasting as CC - I like the smell of my dogs So today I am using Petsilk and sometimes a great Danish product called KW which is base on minkoil - gives them great hair

| Ooh Tell me about KW, and where to get it..always up for something new, and I doooo love Mink Oil! I'm not so much for scent as I am performance, scent you can always get from a bottle of fru fru spray, then they just go roll and get it off anyways, LOL
