Everyday Isle of Dogs Lush Coating Dog Shampoo,Violet + Sea Mist for Poodles, Shepherds and Retrievers, 16.9oz

I groom my tiny toy poodle myself and was researching some nicer shampoos and conditioners and decided to try this. It lathered up nicely and rinsed out easily. I also used the matching conditioner . Her hair came out clean and soft, with a wonderful soft scent that stayed for days. I really like this brand.

I have been wanting to try IOD products for a while, so I decided I would take a chance with the Everyday line. I washed my standard poodle with the Lush Coating Shampoo and then conditioned with the Lush Coating Conditioner. I really like these products. I diluted both the shampoo and conditioner even though they are formulated to use straight out of the bottle. For me, it’s much easier to bath him when the products are diluted; otherwise, i tend use way too much product. I am typically not one for heavy fragrance and initially these products are on the strong side, but it is certainly pleasant and quickly fades to a comfortable level. The products rinsed out very well and I did not notice any residue left on his coat. After his bath, I blow dried him and his hair was so soft and fluffy, and had tons of body. I was still able to scissor him accurately, even though his coat was not super stiff. I keep him in a puppy clip and do not show him, hence my reason for trying this particular line. However, if I was doing a more intricate clip, I would consider using Stand Up and 2 Build from the Salon Elements line as it will stiffen the coat more. My dog’s coat is already in excellent condition, so i cannot comment how it works on dry and damaged, or shedding hair. Lush is a good description as it certainly made my guy’s coat LUSH.
