PuppyTails + PonyTails

Some of my absolute favorite grooming combs and rakes that I use for my Sheltie's double~coat fur are actually for a horse's tail and mane!

~ These fantastic combs have exceptionally long and safely rounded teeth that are ideal for getting entirely down to their skin through all of their fur and the co$t for these *equine* grooming tools is usually better than in the dog's assortment :winkgrin:

I have also discovered that conditioning shampoo, specifically labeled as an equine grooming product for a horse's mane and tail is truly wonderful for my Sheltie's fur and I recently purchased what is absolutely my very most favorite of favorite grooming combs.....
this one is another handled equine comb with (1") long teeth and it is actually made of silicone { like the new muffin tins, etc }
~ It honestly just glides through my Emily's long, silky fur as well as my Sadie's rather thick, dense, puppy~soft fur :smile2:

Thanks for sharing Shelti !!

I do occasionally use Mane and Tail Shampoo but I always use the Mane and Tail Conditioner. I love that one it keeps my furkids fur soft and silky.
I must admit I would never had thought of using equine combs and rakes on little Shelties.:lol:
 
I was surprised to see that our local Walmart sells Mane and Tail Shampoo and Conditioner. I'll definitely try the conditioner, has anyone tried the shampoo? I'm wondering if it might be to harsh?

My sisters both used to show horses and used both the shampoo and the conditioner on the horses and themselves. As a matter a fact a lot of horse people will tell you that is all they will use! I would think that it would be fine, you just need to rinse out the fur really well.
 
We horsepeople think it's hysterical that you can now buy Mane and Tail in places like CVS and Walmart. :lol: This began about 10 years ago when some of our more dedicated numbers were spending all their money on their horses and tried the Mane and Tail on themselves. The rest is history. It's great for people and dogs and you can use it safely. And you are right, Shelti...some of my favorite combs and brushes are the ones I originally bought for my horses. There are some great sites online where you can check out equine supplies, such as www.horse.com if you don't have a tack store near you.

Happy shopping! :winkgrin:
 
I use Cowboy Magic Detangler and Shine for Spencer. It makes combs go through his hair effortlessly. The manufacturer also indicates the use of its products for humans. I wish it would get to the point where you could buy it at CVS or Walgreen instead of a Tack Shop. It would be more convenient.

*Hi*

Well, I truly *Thank You* for sharing that website, Ann!
~ really great price$ and selection :winkgrin:
{I immediately ordered their mane + tail comb with even longer-than-long teeth}

Here is another one (link below) that is very much like it and they too have supplies
for our very special dogs as well, plus they offer especially nice, free mail-order catalogs.

I tried Mane and Tail last night on Sadie and I can't believe how well it works, especially considering its so much cheaper than buying shampoo from a pet store. Her fur looks so beautiful and its so soft. Best of all it didn't irritate her skin or dry out her fur like the last one I used. I'm going to buy the conditioner for Sadie's next bath. :yes:
