We use marked measuring bottles. I prefer a flip lid over a pull out.

I have the espree mixing bottles that are flip top and measuring lines, but I find them annoying, they are too large in circumference for my single hand I have to use two hands. I'm keeping my eye open for another type that is smaller .. however my hand is rather small so maybe others won't have that problem.

The only small ones I know of are too small for my liking. You can get them at at Amazon or any beauty supply store. They are 8oz. Very small. Do you know which ones I'm referring to?

Sookie just want to add, you are going to get lots of wonderful advice, but remember what works for one dog may not work as well for another as I am sure you've read already. My advice is get smaller sizes of the products you want to use or ask around for samples from people that use the products you are wanting to try. That way in the long run it saves you money and you don't end up with a cupboard or cabinet full of products you don't use.

Thanks. I got the sample pack yesterday of shampoo, conditioner, satin creme, static control, etc. and now I can try them all out!!

Just in case you have to try something else. Pure paws also has a trial size. Isle of Dog also has samples.

Where did you get the samples? I only have the Vellus Cream. I did get samples of BioGroom and it is terrific!
I see you are close to me. I'm in Chestnut Hill.

I live in South Jersey just over the bridge from Philly. Our club holds most of its' meetings in Pottstown and most of the members live in PA. So, I spend quite a bit of time there. I grew up in Philly.

Yes, I do use Vellus on both of mine. I have the satin creme,but don't use it often mostly at shows.

I use the anti-stat daily for brushing Beatrice, she has allergies and it doesn't bother her.

I use a mix of 4 oz. of water and a very small amount of Neutragena body oil and a very small amount of Vellus show conditioner ( maybe a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of each) on Sebastien after I rinse out the conditioner. I pour it all over him and leave it in. Then I just let him air dry and when he's dry I wrap him. It works super well on him. Doesn't bother his skin, it always feels and looks great.

Thanks for the info. So you don't use the creme for wrapping? That's the main reason I bought it. I have never wrapped but I'm going to start soon on Gidget.

No, I tried it once for wrapping, but I prefer my mixture instead. I use it like Donna does for smoothing stray hairs before going into the ring.

Many people like it for wrapping though,so if you start wrapping with it you'll probably love it.

I was reading through this post about the products and this jumped out at me because my mom is Latvian. Are you also? Or do you just use Latvian topknot conditioner? I would love to know how you get it... Ancient Latvian secret? LOL
