A few months back I discovered Isle of Dog products at a dog show. The vender loaded me up with a TON of samples of everything they had, they were really tiny bottles so I only got one bath out of them, smelled nice though. I couldn't form a real opinion just using this and that one time. However, when the same vender found out I was a groomer who owned a business they loaded me down with big 16oz sample bottles of their concentrated professional line. OMG.... I LOVE those. I used it where I was grooming at the time and it made the whole shop smell good. Their two conditioners they gave me, 2 heal and I forget the name of the other one.... it's supposed to help fluff a poodle coat up for scissoring are both super duper awsome and smell great as well. They are also supposed to be "all natural" I use that term loosely here, I perfer to think of most 'all natural" products as mostly natural lol. As I understand it I think bed bath and beyond has begun selling the pet line of isle of dog?? Don't hold me to that, I haven't been in A BBB in forever, I just heard from somebody that they carried it. My mother really likes the royal jelly for her dogs, I've yet to try that one out.
Another thing I found last march, at the same dog show, is a brand called show seasons. They have an all natural line as well. I feel in love with their essentials shampoo from their natural line... (think they call that line pet naturals). Again it was a tiny bottle but I was able to dilute it 16:1 I think and used it several times. Smelled great for days.
I don't have a leave in/spray conditioner I use reguarly. What I do is find a regular conditioner that I like, at the moment it's 2 HEAL from Isle of dog and put just a tiny bit of it in a spray bottle and fill the rest with warm water, shake and serve. Works great with most conditioners. Used to use Crown royal like that all the time on the show dogs. I gave a product called glow coat, I buy it from pet edge, to a client with a spoo and I really like that as a spray. I used it a lot on my tibbies, but not so much on the poodles, mostly because I don't have any of it anymore lol. It supposedly repeals dirt and the like and acts as an anti stat, and I've used it diluted at a higher rate for detangling. It does have a scent but it goes away pretty quickly since its not really intended to make them smell good. Makes the coat feel really soft-ish, maybe silky is a better word?? I dunno, slick but not oily unless you really over do it. DON'T EVER spray this stuff on any type of hard floor, and whatever you do DON'T DON'T DON'T use it in your tub. It tends to make everything slick, and unless you want to break your neck I'd keep it off the floor lol.
Well thats my rambling for this post lol, I could talk about shampoos and such forever. I always have a new favorite lol.
