Mink Sheen on Puppy - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have been reading threads about how you guys like the MinkSheen shampoo, but do you think it would be safe on 13 week old Bella? Is is tear-free? I am using puppy shampoo right now. Thanks for your help!

I don't know if the milksheen is tear free, so I'd still use the baby shampoo on the head and the milksheen on the body.

I wouldn't use it on a puppy. I started it on Aubrey when he was 7 months old. I use Huggies baby shampoo on Dakota.

I have a yorkie/maltese mix that I have had since she was 8 weeks old. I have always used the Mink Shampoo on her once (sometimes twice) a week. This shampoo is great and have never had any problems whatsoever. Hope this helps!

I agree!

otherwise if no one has had any issues, try it!

I don't know if it is tear free or not -- I tend to be over cautious when washing faces....

The ONLY shampoo that I have used for the past 2+ years is MinkSheen. I generally start new pups off with their first MinkSheen bath around 6 weeks and then they get regular MinkSheen baths until they leave my home to start their new life.

I have silky coats and one cotton coat (Chizziewink) and I have never ever had issues with the shampoo. I don't blow dry, I find that by the time I have finished brushing/combing them out their hair is dry and during the cold winter months I opt for turning a space heater on, and sitting on the floor for extra warmth during grooming/drying.

Does this shampoo get the tangles out? or does anyone know of a ph balanced conditioner i can use. My MIMI has the curly hair on her body still. She is 4 months. She hates to be brushed. I have to do it when she is half asleep.

I haven't used Minksheen yet but plan to! I think you are not susposed to use a conditioner with it, it isn't needed!
