My little Yorkie with skin problems. My asked me if I had tried lanolin and I said no....so I'm wondering how this would work on a dog's skin since she is covered with hair?

Hopefully, you tried and found it quite useful. I've used it on dogs, kids, cats and my own feet with great results.

Hello Cher! I personally am not familiar with what can be used on leather products, but if 100% pure lanolin is safe to use, then yes this would be just fine for that purpose as it has no additives. Please note that this particular lanolin is in a cream form. We hope this information is helpful!

This is actually pretty good at picking up my dalmatian's hair. I'm not sure what kind of dog you have, but for some reason, Dalmations have hair that have a barb on them. Makes it impossible to pick up, but this does a pretty good job picking up her hair.

I have a Labradoodle and I used it on him. However, I was scared to use it around face, groin, and ears. I believe it could do damage for sure if you are not very careful in those areas. That being said I used it along most of the other body and it slices through matted hair like a hot knife through butter!

I did not use this product on a dog, but on my cat, whom we do not bathe. It it does seem logical that the product should be applied after bathing your dog, allowing it do dry on the scabbed area, and do it's work. Better yet, contact the manufacturer of the product, and ask them the question directly. Good luck!

I would most definitely give it a try. My Sheltie didn't like being groomed, but I have no problem using this product. I sing its praises to all my dog-owner friends. You'll save money on grooming bills.

I only ordered this cond. once and it had a tint of brown but the product was fine. Love the smell. Makes brushing and combing my Yorkie`s hair easy. Wouldn't worry about the tint of brown color. Jo from Minn.

Our breeder gave us something called "pet allure" to spray on it. It only worked for about a week. My Lab was chewing it up after that. Maybe it might work for little dogs.

I do use it on my dog's face, but apply it with a dampened, soapy sponge and avoid her eyes. It's too concentrated straight out of the bottle, and you risk having it run into the eyes. I sponge her jaw, muzzle, cheeks, ears and top of the head, but use it straight out of the bottle for the rest of her, including the feet. I leave it on for ten minutes per my vet's instructions, and have had fantastic results.

Hi Meredith, I've used this on my puppy's eyes and beard and so far it's working but I have to say his staining wasn't too awful to begin with but he didn't have them when I bought him so I got obsessed with the 'must have a pretty puppy' idea. My vet recommended Angel Eyes but wasn't comfortable using antibiotics. This is all natural so if nothing it couldn't hurt him. I haven't tried it on his coat but I don't see why it wouldn't work it's all the same hair and you're using it for the same purpose just differnt location. I'm happy with the results so far, and it's not cheap, it's pretty expensive so I could understand your needing to be sure before you use it. I do hope I've helped at least a little bit... Good Luck :)

I used this product for a short time on my dog's hind-leg. He had a very small callous. It moisturized the area; the hair filled in anyway after I stopped using it. Sorry, I don't know the best way for humans to use this product.

I would look for pure essential oils, and carrier oils, high in B's. Fleas hate B. I've used Infusium shampoo on my dogs, and noted how the fleas were quicker to jump off the skin. If I were to go natural, I'd choose a decent carrier oil, and add some Tea Tree, and perhaps another compatible/suitable essential, and massage it into the skin, and fur, after shampooing my dog, massaging it around for a few minutes, and then doing a final rinse. There's plenty of information available online to come up with a proper solution, and please remember to do so. Please never take another's word as the solution, without informing yourself first.

It worked well for our dog and it has a really nice smell too! Our dog wasn't itching so much as loosing the fur. You can get a hot spot spray (I believe hartz makes it), that has hydrocortisone and aloe for helping with the itching between washings too. �

How long are you running it for? I've done grooming in sections since my shih tzu has alot of hair and not alot of patience. I do remember reading that just from duration of running the razor will have some heat. My best guess is it is a normal occurrence and perhaps to do shorter grooming sessions. I typically do 30min shaves with breaks/treats and I haven't experience it getting hot yet. Hopefully that helps dispel any worry.

My pekingese is white, and I've used this for 2 years now and have never had it stain her fur. Does that mean it won't stain white hair on another breed of dog? I can't swear to it, but I don't see why any of the ingredients in this would stain. So my answer, based on my experience, is no, it won't stain.
