OK, I will admit it doesn't take much to confuse me 

   I have P.E.T. Silk Back To Nature Bright White Silk Rinse.  It is purplish (sp?) in color and is so very concentrated I have trouble getting it on evenly and rinsed but Belle does look and smell fabulous after her bath.  On the back of the bottle is a website that is:  www.petsilk.com; is this the same as what all of you are talking about???  It is the bright white rinse.  For shampoo I am using Pure White Lightening Shampoo #1 All Systems.  I don't know at this point, but I thought I bought them both at the same website but now I'm thinking after your posts NOT!  Is this conditioner in the same family as what you are all talking about?  And does anyone use the Pure White Lightening Shampoo from #1 All Systems?  I've got so much to learn with my first Maltese Furbaby.  Thanks for any feedback!

If I remember right, the mjm petsilk site does carry #1 all systems stuff. Well, I know they do, because my whitening gel stuff is by them and I know they carry the #1 brushes too. You are right. You probably got it all at the same place.

Thank you Tlunn. My PET Silk Back To Nature Bright White Silk Rinse is so very thick and difficult to put on Belle and get it well into her coat without being in little clumps so I'm wondering if there is a different PET Silk Conditioner that is a little bit easier, possibly thinner. The one I have comes out in thick clumps and I've tried diluting (sp?) it with water but it still tends to stay in smaller little clumps. Thanks in advance. ~ Jackie & Belle

From what I have read, you are supposed to dilute the shampoos and conditioner with water. Since my order got lost, I don't know for sure. But they do sell squeeze bottles for mixing in at Petsilk and it has a long pointed tip to get into the fur real well. That's how they described it. I ordered two of them. Check the bottles for directions on mixing.

When all else fails read instructions, duh! I did check the bottles, the conditioner I have doesn't say anything about diluting but the shampoo does say that I should be diluting that and I haven't. So thanks, and I'm going back to the earlier posts and look at the conditioners and colognes others are using. In the meantime I will continue to dilute the conditioner I have and look for and order the bottle you mentioned. Thanks!

Glad to help!

I can't stand most of the strong scents either. I like the Pantene because it is not too overwhelming. The Coat Handler is also pretty subtle.

I usually dilute the shampoo and pour it over the dog and then work it in a bit. I also shampoo twice.

Whitening shampoo should be used every few baths (once or twice a month if bathed weekly).

Okay, my free sample of Liquid Silk arrived today and I rubbed it in my hands and put it all over Lizzie's body. Um, what's it supposed to do??

It makes Brink's hair softer/silkier...he has a fluffier coat...if they are in puppy cuts it is a little harder to see the results..but I definitely can tell...

It "tames" it some I guess...

 

[LexiAndNikkisMom]

It makes Lexi's hair really soft and silky.

 

[Ladysmom]

Liquid Silk is a great product for those of us who have a Malt with a less than perfect coat. It makes Lady's more cottony coat feel much silkier and shine, plus it really helps with mats.

 

[SpottyPoo]

Okay, I spoke too soon. It did really make Lizzie's coat so very soft and silky!! She has a very cottony coat and it was a nice surprise when I touched her this morning, after the product had time to "set in." When I run out of the sample, I will certainly be purchasing a bottle!

BTW -- how often does everyone here use the Liquid Silk on their babies?

 

[LexiAndNikkisMom]

I only put it on her after her bath, so every week or two. I think you can use it between baths too, though.

 

[Ladysmom]

I used to only use it after Lady's weekly bath, but now that her coat is so long I use it in between, sometimes daily. I use it very sparingly and have never found it to get greasy. It makes such a difference in the texture of her hair. Lately people have commented on what a pretty coat she has!

 

[maltsmom]

I love the petsilk shampoo and finishing rinse, but the white light tear stain remover did nothing at all. In fact, in the days following the use of it, Jack's stains were worse than they were before I used it. I couldn't believe it. Has anyone had success with the stain remover? Maybe I didn't apply it right or something.

 

[Brinkley & Neyland's Mom]

I use liquid silk every day or so on Brink b/c I use it on both of us...I either put it on him and then rub my hands through my hair or vice versa...

If you color your hair you may not want to use the Liquid Silk. I had been using a John Freida non-frizz product that is very similar to Liquid Silk. My hairdresser noticed that my hair seemed very dry. He asked about the products I was using and said that products like that coat the hair and don't allow moisture in. He reminded me how hard it is to get the stuff off our hands and that even after washing our hair, some residue remains and it is hard for moisturizing products to penetrate. So, I quit using it and I truly can say that my hair looks like it is in a whole lot better shape. I never would have thought of that...

Oh, and the most important part... it is only chemcially colored hair that is a problem because the hair shaft is open and it absorbs the silk-type product. more than non-colored hair.... I'm not sure I "got" all he was telling me but he has been a hairdresser for 20 years and is a "master hair designer" at the salon, etc., so I usually "go" with what he tells me.

 

[Brinkley & Neyland's Mom]

Hmm...never thought of that. It does sorda make sense...I do color and highlight my hair, but I haven't noticed it to be dry. In fact, my beutician just commented the other day how it was in such good shape since I have been using a straightening iron on it every day, and I hadn't used a curling iron or heat product (other than blow-dryer) on it in several years. I love the straightening iron, but am really particular about my hair and was scared it would damage it. I am really anal about moisturizing...so maybe that is why mine is ok so far. I will keep an eye on it though. Thanks for the heads up!

I use the Chi iron on my hair most days... Their site say it helps the hair and adds moisture but I don't think so! I can't give it up though.... especially in summer...

The stain remover does not work. There is not one stain remover on the market that really works.

I can't believe that they are allowed to say it absolutely removes tear stains, when it does not. I have spent a small fortune on stain removers but nothing has worked for me like peroxide. I just wanted tio tryh something gentler on Jack and figured pet silk was it.

I have the stain remover too. I haven't found it to make the stains worse, however, I have not found improvements for the facial staining either. I did notice that it does work when applies to the private areas to remove the yellowing.

It is amazing to me that these companies can get away with advertising products as "tear stain removers" when none of them work. That doesn't seem "right".
