Pet Products Review - The Stuff for dogs Concentrated Conditioner & Detangler 16 oz
So Barry, my groomer friend told me about a product that he's started to use and says is just great: The Stuff for dogs Concentrated Conditioner & Detangler.
Now Barry is not one for words. He simply said, "this stuff is great! you spray it on during the drying process, dry a little bit more and water just sheds right off." He claims it cuts the drying process in half. He doesnt know whats inside, but the agent acts like a silicon detangler.
Here are the words direct from the recommended retailer www.midwestgrooming.com :
"The Stuff, unique leave-in hair conditioner,
dematter, detangler that is hypoallergenic
as well as non-toxic.
The Stuff conditions and protects a pet’s coat
while removing and preventing tangles.
Penetrates mats and tangles to save you time
during comb out. Silicon formulation repels dirt,
dust and urine so coats stay cleaner longer.
The Stuff is great to use on all coat types,
including horse manes and tails!"
Barry recommends the 16oz pre mixed bottle. Its just easier. But he did forewarn that this product he does not recommend for dogs with fine hair, like a Yorkie. It makes the hair look too greasy. Also, he's never used it on a cat.
Now I comparison shopped and www.midwestgrooming.com does have the best prices for this product, $5.95 for the 16 oz bottle. Buy yours at:

Pet Product Review - Ark Naturals Neem “Protect” Spray 8 oz
Many people ask me for product recommendations when their pet has particular conditions. The other week and friend of mine with a pug asked me what spray I would recommend for those little bites and irritations that cause her little "Nigel" to pick and chew on. So, I asked my vet. Her recommendation, Ark Naturals Neem “Protect” Spray.
I said to myself, neem? what's that? Well, A very famous herb of India with worldwide fame and having magical properties known for its miraculous medicinal values from past 5000 years. Neem is known as free tree of India as it is found almost everywhere in India. Neem act as anti bacterial, anti parasitic, anti fungal, anti protozoal and anti viral thus helps in protection from all the microorganisms, which are always ready cause problems of all sorts.
on www.Arknaturals.com they say; "Ark’s Neem “Protect” Spray is environmentally friendly, gentle and a non-drying formula for pets including: dogs, cats and horses. It’s perfect for animals with skin and coat issues including insect bites and skin and coat irritation" and my vet agrees.

Pet Products Review - Earth Bath Clear Advantages Shampoo
Ok, many people may think that all of the products I test are sent to me by manufacturers. That's not true. I'm always on the look out for great products that work and save money. I especially like products made in the USA and all natural. With that I bought a bottle of Earth Bath Clear Advantages Shampoo. I gave the bottle to my Groomer friend Barry for an honest and professional opinion.
Earth Bath prides itself on being the company as being the company that is friendly for both friend and envirionment and only uses natural products:
Only hypoallergenic, non-soap cleansers. Purified water, natural cleansers, aloe vera, olive oil squalene (preservative), propyl paraben. All ingredients are natural, 100% biodegradable. I love the concept, but does it work?
Well, Barry's exact words were: "doesn't suds well, had to use three times the amount of shampoo to get the two dogs (he washed) clean. And there was no clean after smell. People who pay groomers want to have a clean, fresh smelling dog".
So, you can use the Eart Bath products. They are safe, all natural, and no nonsense. But, if you're looking for that groomer affect? I'd recommend something else.
Earth Bath products are found at PETCO and most other retailers.
