Hi all! :)

I'm looking for a Grooming Spray for my Shih-Tzu!

Not one of the colognes just to make her smell nice, but something that will help detangle and condition her coat (which is kept at a medium length) in between baths.

At the moment I have this:

But it's coming to the end and I'm really not keen on the smell anyway!

I want something as natural as possible as she is prone to scratching at times so I don't want anything to aggravate that. Nice but not overpowering smell too! ;) I don't mind price-wise as she's only small so a bottle lasts quite long!

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks! :T

    Does it have to be a spray? Salmon oil added to the food gives the coat a lovely shine, makes grooming easier and helps keep the skin healthy.

    Coconut oil is another good one - and won't smell bad either if you run a small amount over the coat to condition topically either (wouldn't fancy trying with fish oil!)

    I like this one on Zara - smells like strawberries (she obviously does not like it much), great at detangling (and we need that) - clickable link

    I take it they are made by the same people that make Bed Head for humans? My hair smells like lemon meringue pie!

    Thank you all! :T

    I already give her Coconut Oil to eat to help her coat, I have tried gently applying a bit to her coat but she licks herself lots after trying to get to it! :o

    Thanks gettingready I will have a look at Pet Head, I had never head of them before either - only the Human Bed Head too! :)

    years ago when I had my meg, (springer spaniel), someone told me to use a silk scarf and rub her down with that after grooming. then to brush her coat back in place. I was very sceptical - but it works.
