Shampoo/Conditioner Verdict

I tried the shampoo/conditioner from K9Competition. It's cheaper than Isle of Dogs or Pure Paws. It left the coat very soft and unmanageable - fly away. It's also not as silky as my coats usually feel when I do them with Isle or Pure Paws or even Laser Lites.

But the grooming spray is the easiest I have used to get mats out. It's all natural. I hate the smell but you can use Pure Paws Finishing spray to have that nice smell. If it was local, I would buy the spray but not the shampoo and conditioner. I have a variety of coats and I didn't have that wow factor in any of them though 2nd day was more manageable than 1st.

I believe in giving it my all to really test it and I am always looking for cheaper but this may be cheaper but it is not all that.

You may have different results but I can usually get a coat feeling nice. I still get it nice but not as nice. That's not good enough for ME but it may be for you.

Shoshi just had a bath and she has the most cottony coat. This stuff makes hers soft but dry. Not good.

When Shoshi has a bath she loves to run-like-hell and act all crazy. All the havanese tend to get so excited after a bath. This was Shoshi sliding - yes sliding in to catch the hacky sack. For an older gal, she sure has an adventurous soul.

Mia has found her mom play daily these days. I never saw so much play between two. Coco has found Abigail and Red Adair. I know I have said it before but the hacky sack is bringing so many grand moments of movement. The games they play with each other to get that little round thing is way funny.

I need to work on photos and upload them. I did do a Remember When gallery on Facebook. I am going through older photos of ours and other people's dawgs that visited us. I haven't made it through all them so if yours is not there - sorry friend - I will be sharing in the future here and there as I go down memory lane. It's only a sliver of what I have but I felt like sharing. One day I should do the best of the best.
