I'm not a fan of mink sprays bc of where they come from (ie, Mink Sheen). Mink farms are especially and incredibly cruel places. The mink oils are a by product of that very cruel process/place. So, for those reasons - I always try to remind people of that in case it's the kind of thing that would influence their decision. I hope you don't mind me mentioning it, or that you take offense

.

I know we have several former Mink Sheen users here - perhaps one of them has found a great replacement they could recommend?

I like Pet Silk it really works nice on all 3 of mine. I use the shampoo and conditioner.

Sometimes adding a fish oil to their diet helps with the coat. I'm not sure what's available in Europe, but I use a brand called Nordic Naturals. Some also use cod liver oil as a supplement.
