Unscented leave in conditioner for dogs?

Question

Does anyone know of a brand of unscented leave in conditioner for dogs? The only stuff I can get my hands on is for froofy little lap dogs, and is scented like baby powder. Ugh. Dogs shouldn't smell like baby powder. As soon as she goes outside and gets damp, the smell is revolting. It's so perfumed that I think MY leave in would be better for her.

just to add one detail, the conditioner NEEDS to be a spray, because the dog does not get baths. Normal conditioners, while there are a lot of them out there, just won't work for us.

To answer Penny's question(man there are a lot of persnickitty know it alls out there), the dog does not stink in the absence of baby powder scented products. A short haired dog with excema, she is an overgroomer, and bathing her just causes problems, including making her smell nasty because of skin break down. No baths on DIRECT order of the vet. If she was to become extremely muddy, roll in something foul, fine, but dogs do their own bathing. She's a big priss about how clean she is.

Answer 1

You can take any unscented conditioner for dogs (ready to use rinse out kind) and dilute with water in a ratio of 6 parts water to 1 part conditioner and then put in a spray bottle. You may need to alter the ratio depending on the conditioner you use. I use this on my Bernese Mountain Dog and it doesn't make him smell. Also, it is much more economical to make your own spray than to buy the stuff.

Answer 2

There are 2 formulas I can think of you might like, but you would have to order them online (I buy my grooming supplies from www.petedge.com) :

The Stuff - I THINK this is unscented, but if it has a smell its not a foofy fragrance, just a clean natural scent from the ingredients. It conditions, detangles, shines, and helps repel dirt and odor.

MiracleCoat Lusterizer & Conditioner- has a light, clean fragrance, mostly due to the added tea tree oil, but is not a foofy scent either.

Those are the best 2 I can think of, both are leave-in sprays like you asked for. Unfortunately, they do put fragrance in almost everything these days. Oh, and I wouldn't suggest using human products, they're not formulated for dog's skin.

Answer 3

Never use human products on dogs or cats. I really like Fresh & Clean by Lambert Kay. It's not a leave-in but it has a light fresh scent. The "hypoallergenic" conditioners are unscented. Your vet has dozens of products that you would like and is probably eager to sell them too. Check w/ the local PetSmart, then your vet.

Answer 4

You might want to check out the grooming stuff on the link below. It's formulated for hunting dogs, which can't run around smelling like funeral flowers and baby powder because the game can scent them. Their field wipes clean and condition and don't seem to be all that expensive.

Answer 5

you need to attempt Paul Mitchell - they have a clean 'coach kind' line that's aimed in course of having swifter drying effects (i imagine the product you want is termed quick Slip, round £8-10 from salon that inventory Paul Mitchell). also make confident you difficult dry your hair as a lot as a chance beforehand blow drying. for instance - towel dry, be conscious products, dry kind of creating use of basically palms and dryer until eventually 80% dry, then use a broom with the dryer to gentle somewhat, and finally use straighteners. Or probably bypass over out the blow drying totally! i understand it sounds strange besides the indisputable fact that the straighteners we use now are a lot extra efficient and may extremely straighten even the most frizzy, difficult dried, hair!

Answer 6

I have used a children's detangler spray on my dogs; it works fine. The problem I have with dog conditioners is they use cheap perfume that makes my nose itch. Baby or child detangler, at least of a normal brand, is much better; in my opinion.

Answer 7

why doesn't your dog get baths? I think I have just found the reason for his stink. Really, take him to a groomer and have his fur washed. Its not that expensive.
