Anyone use Mane and Tail on their babies? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

AmyZinNC · 01-31-2006, 01:21 PM

I actually bought some of the Oatmeal Groomax shampoo yesterday for Daisy, and gave her a bath last night. She is STILL itchy!! Her skin is flaking!
So today I was in the store and I actaulyl wanted to try some Mane and Tail for myself...and wondered if anyones used it on their babies? I am thinking of using the groomax shampoo on her and the mane and tail conditioner to soften her coat a little........

What do you think?

I use it on my yorkies. The conditioner is very oily and makes their coat really shiny.

Kind of off subject but I have had a yorkie with very dry itchy skin. The vet recommended that I start adding flaxseed oil into her diet. After a couple of months she didn't itch anymore and her coat became more shiny. Ever since then I have added flaxseed oil to all my dog's diet. Just a thought.

I use Mane and Tail shampoo and Panteen silk and sleek conditioner even on Busters show coat...then twice a month or so I use a bit of neutragena body oil mixed in warm water lightly rinse...

Thanks! I'll try it next bath!
she is getting linatone and brewers yeast daily....i would have thought that would've helped her skin by now!

We have a shampoo at our groom shop made by Natural Groomer called Mela-Tar. It is FANTASTIC for really itchy and dry skin. Use it once a week followed with the Topiclean Oxy-Med Conditioner. Then if you bathe your baby more than once a week, use the Tropiclean Oxy-Med SHampoo and Conditioner in between the weekly Mela-Tar/Oxy-Med treatments. It has done absolute wonders for dogs at our groom shop. I also used it on Bouncer a few times when the dry heat in our home and shop made his skin itchy. Fixed it like nothing was ever wrong.

I was told that human products like pantene are too harsh for them. I am confused if i can use this to make Ninas coat softer. But shes only 14 weeks.

I agree regarding the shampoo, human product dont work well because of the ph balance but the conditioners or the oils I dont have a problem with, JMHO

I used Mane n Tail Shampoo on Gucci and Tresseme conditioner.
Gucci's skin was flaky and itchy at one point and after changing her kibble to Canidae, she has stop.

Yes and I had such a tangled mess even with conditioner! I now use it to wash my car with!

chattiesmom · 01-31-2006, 07:56 PM

Mane and Tail is good stuff. I have used it on..... my self, my daughter (baby fine hair below her bottom), Boo the Boxer, Chattie, Chizzie and Peppy, and of course the horses. It is a great conditioner and detangler.

chattiesmom · 01-31-2006, 07:59 PM

I don't use the shampoo on dogs because my experience has been that it drys out the coat.

Gazou · 02-01-2006, 05:34 AM

Why should I use others shampoos and conditioners when I have result like this .IMO...There are no miracle shampoos and conditioners on the market . Peoples only have to find the good one for their babies .

I use the mane and tail shampoo religiously on chloe and I like it.
