FranVT Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I've ordered some Plush Puppy OMG spray but it won't arrive for another few days, and I'm wondering whether there is a solution I can make up, perhaps from human products or natural stuff, that I can use while I give Luuka a big groom? I bought a fine tooth comb (have ordered a better quality one from petnetwork as well) because she needs her puppy fluff combed out, the situation is getting desperate I have a spray bottle to use, and every human product under the sun ..... I have a serious product addiction..... Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vehs Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 water down some human conditioner? everyone is against pantene, but it'll probably work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Just put some conditioner and water in the spray bottle and give it a shake? I wouldn't own Pantene but I have some Stefan stuff that I was given for free and haven't used, I'll try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I have used pantene for 20 plus years on all my dogs & no issues. I have tried the OMG & it was awful on my guys coats so its trial & error BUT any products ia as good as they way its used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 So true. I was recommended the OMG by another lappie owner so I thought I'd give it a try, but I only bought the small size just in case. Happy to try a few things to see what works best. Probably another silly question but if I get 'black' shampoo on Luuka's tan and white bits, will that matter? I can't imagine that there is actual colouring in the shampoo because that wouldn't be allowed in showing...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 The coloured shampoos CAN leave some coats very dry so try getting a test sample. Depending on how old the dog is natural coat colour change will occur with a red tinge but basically keeping out of the sun as much as possible is best. As for the PP range i do use the reviva coat & swear by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirst_goldens Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 sorry to hijack, the reviva coat - what type of dogs are u using it on and why?? general use or dry coats?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I use Reviva Coat on my Whippets after a bath, it gets the coat sitting nice and flat with no greasyness, and nice and shiney. I also have used it on a red Kelpie with a very dry sunbleached coat and it helped a lot with that one. I did read on the container you can water it down and use it as a grooming spray for brushing out without snapping coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I use Reviva Coats on all my clients dogs ('cept terrier type coats). Clients love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirst_goldens Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 do u use it watered down like a grooming spray on ur clients dogs?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) No, it's a mousse. So I just rub a small amount in my hands and then rub it through. I love Plush Puppy Products, my favourite is the blow dry creme - it smells a bit like Ponds moisturiser. eta: A lot of products go mouldy watered down so make sure you make a fresh batch each week if you use this method : ) Edited March 21, 2010 by Clyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I just rub mine in straight. And i also have many other PP products I probably don't need but I love I also like a very light application of Pixie Dust just to make them shimmery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Ooooooh that sounds pretty! Would that work on double coated dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Ooooooh that sounds pretty! Would that work on double coated dogs? Yes but I'd not be putting it on a dog for a show. The judge will end up with it all over their hands. Some folk use it sparingly to highlight dog's features but you'd need to have a very steady hand.

OSoSwift Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yep probably would, but I don't show mine - distance a bit of an object! I just do it because I think it looks pretty, and yes when you pat them you do get a little bit of shimmer on you hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fox 001 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Another one for PP products here The Reviva Coat is great, I just use it straight too. I also love the Coat Rescue and I put a mix of their conditioner, seabreeze oil and swishy coat in his final rinse - the dog has more product than I do Ohh and the Pixie Dust is fantastic, I put it on my clients dogs who have kids they just love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I know what you mean, I have whippets and a Stafford. I have multiple PP products for them (yep 'cause they have HEAPS of hair!), where does my shampoo come from?????? The middle of the ranger supermarket stuff, no salon products for me Anyone used their Sunscreen? Can you use it as sun block on unpigmented noses/testicles?

FranVT Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 From the website: This wonderful spray on coat protector is enough to repel most of the sun's potential for damage. Apply each morning, if needed. Just a light wipe over with your hand to spread it evenly and the dog will be protected. Sunshade is also good for dogs that get sunburned skin. Just apply and wipe thoroughly around the areas that require protection. This is a nice light product. It is an intensive sun screen and moisturiser with a good protective factor. To remove just shampoo as usual - it is soluble in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks Fran, Why did I not see that - most be blinder than I thought! Lewis has a small white blaze and one testicle that has the back half with no pigment, so this will work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 For brush outs between baths, I often use Sunsilk Children's Leave-In Conditioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
