Boronia Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 The dogs are starting to get pretty dirty again (we live on a dirt road so it's hard to keep them clean) so it's coming up for their 3-4 monthly bath. What shampoo is good for Westies?, I want some ideas on a shampoo that WON'T make their hair soft. I need the shampoo to clean the hair but leave it feeling nice an coarse. I don't strip them, just clip, so it is pretty hard to get the same bristley feel to them when clipping. Any ideas would be appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boronia Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thanks for the info poodlefan and oakway, I had another look on-line...Googled 'shampoo for wire coats' this time instead of shampoo for WHW terriers, there were a few sites but so far this one seems interesting http://www.laserlites.com.au/coattype3.shtml I have emailed a couple of their distributors to find postage costs, their product is reasonable enough.

Boronia Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Well, I received the SHC-Laser-Lites36 Stripping Shampoo as well as a 300ml of detangler spray by Coat Handler (was reccommended by Jillian (Canine Equipment at Carina), she was the only firm that answered my emails! 1L of shampoo is $18.50 (and you dilute it 100-1) so it is pretty economical. The detangler is $19.75 It's raining here today so it'll be bath-time tomorrow, 3 stinkin' Westies here! I will let you know what the products are like.

Dogsfevr Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 If you are clipping the coat it will go soft so i wouldnt be spending big $$ on products designed for the correct coat texture. The products listed are designed for coats which have been groomed correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(after reading the shampoo bottle that said Stripping Shampoo!) Penny and Mac (being 10 and 12) don't take kindly to being stripped (tried it a couple of times and they cry), one needs to start stripping as a pup for it to be successful I reckon. Never mind, I'll bath them today and maybe they won't be too soft (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
