Itching, scratching, dry coat?  Many, many dogs suffer from dry skin.  This can be caused by many things, but often, the cause is the wrong shampoo and lack of conditioner along with a lack of essential fatty acids in the diet.  We found the following combination gets rid of the problem.  Bath with No.12 Veterinary Grade Evening Primrose Oil Shampoo and conditioner with No.51 Heavy Management Conditioner.  Use No.60 Evening Primrose Oil Spray between baths and and add No.92 Essential Fatty Acid coat supplement. –Trish

If you need to grow coat, try using the NaturaLuxury Masque as a daily conditioning mist.  Dilute 10:1 and add a pump of Isle Repair in an 8oz. Isle of Dogs spray bottle, fill with water.  Moisten coat as much as possible daily. After bathing with any Coature product, dilute NaturaLuxury Masque 10:1 and work it into the coat. Don't rinse dry, do this about once a month. The hair will magically appear! -Christina.

For that quick “sponge” bath; mix 2 drops of No.10 Evening Primrose Oil Shampoo with a half gallon of water in a small tub or bowl.  Wash the furnishings and “pee areas” using a sponge.  Towel dry and style as usual.  Your dog’s coat will feel clean and healthy again without having to bath the entire dog. -Debbie

Do you need to breakdown styling products you have put into your poodle or bichons coat?  Try diluting two tablespoons of Isle Repair into our 8oz. spray bottle.  Spray this into the coat and then brush it through.  This will breakdown even the strongest styling products and leave the coat feeling healthy and supple.  This will give you more time before you have to bath your dog. -Ann

If your dog’s coat feels dryer than usual, try mixing ½ pump of Isle Repair and 1/4 inch of Isle Strengthen in our 8 ounce spray bottle and then fill the bottle with water. Lightly mist through the coat and dry as usual.  Follow this with our N-60 Evening Primrose Oil Grooming Spray. We found that this mixture works especially well on drop coated breeds with a silky coat.  It adds just the right amount of moisture and lots of shine! -Krystal.

have found that you can dilute both Isle Thicken and Isle Revive into the same spray bottle. So, instead of having to do two separate layers you can use both together.  This produces a coat with more volume and healthier body.  Using them at the same time will help cut down your grooming time prior to going into the show ring.  -Debbie.

When you are trying to grow coat on your dog, use No.50 or No.51 conditioner and leave it in the coat for 15-20 minutes then rinse thoroughly.  This will allow the conditioner to fully absorb into the skin and coat reducing breakage, eliminating tangles and making your comb out time shorter.  This works especially well on curly coated breeds such as Poodles. You can use this process about every two weeks and the results will be amazing. -Ann
