Why is Conditioner so Important in the Grooming Process? ๐
Shampoo and Conditioner have two very important jobs and neither should be optional, Itโs like leg day, Donโt skip the conditioner if you want a perfect groomโฆ
๐ shampoo
๐Cleans the coat and while doing so roughs up the hair cuticles.
๐ Conditioner
๐Hydrates and Protects and seals the hair cuticles. Without conditioner you leave the coat open to damage, pollutants and staining.
With you grow a stronger healthier coat over time.
Also never rely on 2 in 1 products or mix Shampoo and conditioner together as they counteract each other and neither work effectively.
๐Lets troubleshoot
Conditioner making the coat heavy is a thing of the past, Combat this by using a product aimed at the coat type you are grooming and experiment with dilution ratios to get the perfect balance. Look for products that promote the natural texture of the coat type like
Doglyness UK
Doglyness
Melanie Newman Salon Essentials UK
Botaniqa Dog Grooming Solutionsy
There is a great product suitable at every price point but look for Natural products rather than synthetic ingredients that will sit on the coat and make it artificially healthy and weigh it down.
Benefits of Conditioner areโฆ
๐ Less Matting
๐Stronger hair
๐ More vibrant colour
๐ Will help promote growth and length.
Never ever skip the conditioner. ๐

Reggie had his first clip, heโs been coming to me since he was a baby to be hand stripped but after some medical issues and medication for his Addisons disease his coat has not been growing back fully and he is lacking undercoat so became very patchy, so we decided to go to clipping for a smoother more even finish.
Hand stripping isnโt always suitable for all dogs even though they are breeds that traditionally should be hand stripped certain factors can change the texture of the coat and make stripping very difficult such health issue and neutering.
It is also important to factor in the individual dogโs tolerance levels and wether it is in the animals best interests to be hand stripped.
Some are aggressive with the grooming process or they find it painful even when done correctly, some dogโs coats become softer due to outside factors such as natural breakage from an active life.
Some clients are not happy and also leave if I suggest their dog should no longer be stripped but I believe we have to be the dogโs advocate and always be honest about what is most suitable for their individual needs.
Thank you to Reggieโs mum and dad for understanding what was best for him going forward ๐

Regular grooming sessions every few weeks after your puppy is fully vaccinated are so important, the younger they experience new things like the grooming process the more likely they are to settle in to the process.
Every puppy is different and the process should be tailored to their individual needs, Please listen to your groomers recommendations on how often they need to visit and work on any sections of the grooming they maybe struggling with at home also, I like to give homework on each session.
Getting your dog use to the grooming process is equally an at home experience as it is in the salon so if you are getting a new puppy that requires grooming be prepared to visit the salon regularly and to put in the work brushing and desensitizing at home too, A good dog is a partnership between owner, groomer, vet and trainer and is essential for a well rounded, happy dog in later life. ๐พ
