What shampoo/Conditioner does everyone use? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Nikki+2 · 05-07-2006, 09:59 AM

I use the CC Day to Day also. If found out about it here and will be forever grateful. What a difference! It works equally well on Gracie's silky coat and Spike's crazy thick cotton coat. Love it!!!

Hello, I am new to the community and so glad to find so many yorkie owners who care so much about their dogs. My baby Gracie is almost 5 months old and is constantly scratching as of this past week. I had just taken her to Los Angeles so when I called the groomers, they said it might be the climate change or allergies.

I am now back in Chicago and she is still scratching. She was scratching her face a lot but now it is her neck and biting near her tail. Does anyone have any all natural products they use that is safe for puppies and provides extra moisture and relief for itchy skin? I am currently using Veterinarian's Best shampoo and moisturizing mist, but am looking at Bio-Groom, Pet Care Pure Pet, or Tropiclean Oxy Med (available at Petedge.com).

I at first thought it was because I bathed her within 2 weeks of bathing her, and some dog "authorities" such as vets and trainers had told me to bathe her as little as possible (which according to the AKC, with the new high quality shampoos of today, is obsolete advice). Now I'm thinking maybe she got fleas or ticks from the grass (I applied bio flea and tick treatment 2 days ago).

Also, how often do you think I can bathe a puppy of 5 months with high quality products?

I would GREATLY appreciate any veteran advice or opinion, as I am new at toy dogs and don't know who to believe because everyone says something different! I've owned boxers all my life but am enamored with my new Yorkie.

Thanks!

I use the Chris Christensen Day to Day shampoo and conditioner as well. I love it, it's really made a difference in Gypsy's coat already. I just posted some pictures of her in the General Forum under "Gypsy modelling new LawDog bows." I highly recommend their products.

ps. I just love the Ice on Ice too. Thanks Villette for recommending it.

catbong--

I've used GroomMax Oatmeal Shampoo on Reagan and it really seemed to keep the itchies down. I got it at Petsmart. Also one of the products I'm using now is Shea butter and I believe its supposed to really work with the itches. Reagan really wasn't itchy when I started using this one so I really can't say if it worked on the itchies for us or not. Here is a link to the store I bought it at but you can also google "Shea Pet" and probably find other sites that sell it too. You have to go down just a bit on the page to find the products I'm talking about....

Also I've pretty much always washed my dog once a week. Sometimes more like 3 times every two weeks but never gone more than a week and a half to two weeks. Reagan would be a big ball of mud if I went any longer.

catbong · 05-25-2006, 05:07 AM

Thanks for your input! I actually think the spurt of itchiness had to do with the airplane ride and the sudden change in climate from Chicago to L.A., and if not, the flea medication killed off a stray flea I never found. I'm still going to try the oatmeal and Christensen moisturizing products you recommended if the new biogroom stuff I ordered doesn't seem effective.

DazzlinYT · 05-25-2006, 05:35 AM

One "oldie but goodie" shampoo I'd forgotten about but recently started using again is Crown Royal. It keeps the coat very moisturized, and grows hair like crazy.

Any time I have someone with dry skin, I use Biogroom Super Cream (also great for getting out tangles) and it takes care of the dry skin.

meeshue · 05-31-2006, 09:12 AM

hey dazzlin, saw that you use crown royal and you said it grows hair like crazy! Just what I need! Can you tell me where to get it. my sasha's hair is in need of some help. Thanks meeshue

I find that if you use the ice on ice for brushing out that they don't get as many tangles and you really only need to brush them a few times per week.

DazzlinYT · 05-31-2006, 11:32 AM

Hey well I usually just pick it up from vendors at shows, but I'll do a search for you and see if I can find it anywhere else. It is VERY concentrated, 15:1 and one bottle is about $9.00, so very worth the price!

DazzlinYT · 05-31-2006, 11:35 AM

Found it... I've never bought from this site, so have no idea how their customer service is.. but this is the shampoo I use. They also have it for fine textured coat, but I like this formula better.

meeshue · 05-31-2006, 11:49 AM

dazzlin thanks so much! I am going to order it now. meeshue

DazzlinYT · 05-31-2006, 11:51 AM

Great, let me know how you like it, and remember, a little bit goes a long way, it lathers like crazy!

Smells awesome too, and the smell lasts for days.
