Is it safe to use on 16 weeks old maltipoo? She needs to be brushed a few times a week (which i do) but i was wondering if i can use a pet conditioner on her, to make her fur more soft and easier to detangle?

I used it with my puppy as since I started bathing him. He has not had any problems. I never used it around his face. His fur on his face is short while the rest of him is fluffy. He's a Dutch Shepherd. I would be careful around the face, especially the eyes.

Yes, I think so. This is a wonderful product. You may want to use the M&J; Dog Essentials Nutrient Fusion Pre-Bath Treatment. I have a Black Pomeranian and have found if I use the pre-bath treatment, his fur comes out a lot softer and easier to manage longer term than using the Earthbath wash and conditioner by themselves.

I didn't- but I had a lab and my cat was short haired. I imagine you would want to groom if the animal was matted. Just bought one for my dane/weim mix and we didn't bathe her first (she's terrified of water- waiting until it warms up because we know we will probably get a bath with her!). It's working fine.

I am not a veterinarian, so can't say for sure. But, the shampoo seems fairly gentle. However, I can't think of a reason to use this shampoo on a pup. A regular dog/puppy shampoo would be a more appropriate choice. This shampoo was recommended to me by a canine dermatologist for treating a highly resistant bacterial skin infection. If your puppy is healthy, choose a different product.

It really has no effect on shedding of the coat, that is a more breed specific problem or can be a health issue. This shampoo just smells really great and the scent is long lasting. I use the spray in between bathing.

We used this on our 10 week old puppy and it worked well. He had no irritation or dry skin. In fact, it made his skin and fur extra soft on top of smelling great. Its formulated different than human shampoo since we both require a different Ph level. Try this stuff, you wont be mad you did.

I feel it helps! Like brushing your dog, all the hair you get off your dog, will be less you have to pick up later. The conditioner is where I see the hair come off the dog. and the smell is great for two weeks.

I don't know....ask vet...probably fine. Also, try Rockin'Paws...put a tiny drop on your hands and then on her hair....brush goes thru easily...my bichpoo looks great and doesn't need brushing as often. I got it at a dog event but they sell it online.

I've got border collies, double coat, fur EVERYWHERE; probably shed just as ridiculously as a GS. I don't brush them with this, I massage and loosen up the fur before using a slicker brush. It gets heaps of fur up, and the dogs eyes roll back up in their head from enjoyment. Haha. Plus they always look good. I haven't used it for a wash/scrub but it's better then I imagined it would be dry.

Honestly. I have had poodles and.now Shit Tzu's. The pup needs to not be matted. That being said, there are several attachments so you can decide the length of the pup. I use no attachment to do the first groom after the winter. What I cannot do with the clipper, I use a scissor ( one came with my unit) I must say that having had many dogs who need to be groomed, I find that this unit is the best one I have ever used in the past 25 years. As I said, if the dog is too matted then a VET would have to use his groomer (they have one which goes very close to the skin). I say go for it. This is a great clipper! Honestly.

I work for a veterinarian who has a grooming shop. The first one we had lasted for 8 years, before it went belly up. All kinds of dogs, heavy volume of pets, bathing boarding pets, etc. We liked the first one so well, that is why we purchased the second one. Sorry it took so long to answer you inquiry, however I have been in bed sick, and just looked at my email today.

I Love Tropiclean Gel. No brushing needed, just rub it on the dogs teeth. It makes a wonderful difference to their teeth and breath. I use it daily on my small dog. If the dog has really bad teeth you need to use it for a week or so and then brush away the tarter. Do this one hour after a feeding or one hour before for best results.

Once on, it's to stay on. But my pom got groomed today and they took it off to trim her then back on. It's been on her since June, so far so good. That's all I use. It says it's good for 4 years. I plan to keep it on her at all times, off a bit when groomed.

That will depend entirely on the essential oil you use. The unit itself is safe of course. Research the oils you use and double check with your vet.

I got a small one for my 13 week old min pin.he fits in fine (perfect fit), but that was a week ago and he's grown fast. I left it at my mom's house so haven't put him in for a week, but think you'll be better off w/ a Med b/c Shih Tzu's have lot of fur? Plus my dog weighs less than 10 lbs still

This is the my first FURminator that I have used. I use it twice a week on my dog and it has helped me contain the hair in the house. My wife loves it because it helps maintain the house clean. Also my dog loves it when I use it too.

Call a dog groomer and ask. It varies by breed, because type of hair varies by breed. They even let me try two at the grooming place, and I'm getting this one for my mini Australian Shepherd.
