sas Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Well you can go for an artifical shine or the true healthy shine hehehe Here's some things we use here or have used in the past (My black girl just gets a wash but my Harlequin is where we need to get shiny Black patches). Fish Oils Vit E Caps Sardines Raw Diet Yoghurt / Inner health tablets Biotin Caps So healthy body, healthy coat. Daily Grooming helps. Boar Bristle Polishing brush for shine Sunscream to protect the coat Artifical: Shampoo for Black Coats, a whitening shampoo can also get rid of reds and brown tinges in Black coats. Silk Conditioner Shine Spray (lot's to choose from) Laser Lites Liquid Diamonds spray for show dogs What you want to achieve is a shiny coat without feeling it when you touch the dog Some links to some of the products we use: Finishing Polishing Brush http://www.chrissystems.com/polishin.htm Liquid Diamonds http://www.laserlites.com.au/c51a.shtml Plush Puppy Black Opal Shampoo http://esvc000594.wic001ss.server-shop.com...op?idProduct=71 Plush Puppy Shine & Comb Spray http://esvc000594.wic001ss.server-shop.com...op?idProduct=26 Glo White Shampoo http://www.animalcare.net.au/p/98263/glo-w...hampoo-1lt.html Edited July 16, 2008 by sas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah, I find the Black Shampoo works fine. I personaly prefer the Glo White shampoo for my Harlequin which brings up his black spots really well and whitens the white areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malsam Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) add a few polishing brushes like bristle brushes (diff from the goat hair type as mention above) of the type that is suitable for your dog coat also Edited July 17, 2008 by Malsam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 UV rays are one of the worst things for black coats and so is salt water. Also if you use a lot of sprays and other preparations be sure to use a clarifying shampoo at least once a month otherwise you will get a build up and the coat will start to appear dull, this is especially important if you use any products that contain silicone.

Silk Conditioner Shine Spray (lot's to choose from) Laser Lites Liquid Diamonds spray for show dogs In addition to the above rubbing with silk brings up a shine. An older lady mentioned it to me at a show one day. I borrowed an old silk scarf from my mother and it really did bring up a shine Pele is retired (spayed) from showing now and I've packed away the Plush Puppy, Mink Oil, white show make-up for Bull Terriers noses, chalk and other bits 'n pieces. Pele had a bigger make-up bag than mine :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentalover Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Can anyone recommend a coat sunscreen? - I have a lovely Liver girl but the sun is ruining her colour and she is a sun worshipper so I just can't get her out of the sun unless I completely confine her and I don't want to do that.

Rysup Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I just go to a hairdresser supplier and buy a human grade one. Think the last one I got was Schwartzkopf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I cant advise on products & poodles dont have shiny coats but when I changed all my cats to a raw meat diet within a very short time their coats looked like they were polished,never seen such a quick effect,fantastic.

benny123 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 A couple of raw eggs a week added to the diet also adds shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
