  be time to find mine out again - and remember to use it!

[kerrie and stan]

am i right in asuming that the ingrediants should be the oils? like the massage oils? or is there another type of these that i need to get

[xtine]

Yep.. little bottles of oil... H&B have them usually 

[kerrie and stan]

was looking at them on ebay thankyou will order some now

[kerrie and stan]

when you spray this on do you do it until the dog is soaking wet or just a light spray?
do you wash it out?
how often should it be used?

excuse the questions

[xtine]

It depends on how recently Fritz was groomed.. if not too long ago then it doesn't take as much... but I give him a good spray all over and then run it down to the skin.. I use a plant sprayer from homebase... it feels like I spray him a lot but one mix following Val's recipe and volume of water lasts me quite a while  (i guess that might also be cause I forget to use it  )

[kerrie and stan]

so when i use this then i should make sure he is very well covered? but not dripping with it

[xtine]

I would say.. and be sure to rub it otherwise it won't penetrate down the hair 

I really should take a photo of Fritz's face when i spray him.. it's classic 

[kerrie and stan]

 

stan will give me the 'i cant believe you are doing this to me' face the one i ussualy get when he has a bath

ok last question
stan likes to lick himself after a bath, should i stop him from doing that until the spray is dry on him?

[xtine]

He won't want to lick this, I'm pretty sure 

[kerrie and stan]

  ok
