Has anyone tried the tropiclean shampoo or conditioner. My groomer uses this product on Baxter and suggested I use it also. I have used it for about three weeks now and it smells great and his coat is soft but this is not a whitening shampoo and the ends of his hair seem a little dry.
I have considered changing but since some shampoos are a bit pricey, thought I would get opinions before switching.
I use the Coat Handler shampoo every few weeks and that is about as whitening as I go. Just do the whitening shampoo once a month. I would not use it every week or it tends to dry out the coat and you won't notice the difference as much. I also rotate in a clarifying shampoo.

I have used the tropicean shampoo for white coats; my vet sells this brand. At the beginnning I liked it, but I noticed how dry his coat was, so I stop using it and swith to another brand. I has a great smell but I think it is too hard on the coat, especially the whitening shampoo which I learned you use just once a month. Regarding the price, I paid $10.00 for one bottle. I have also used Pet Silk whihc is around $6.00 or $7.00 + shipping. But, I'm still looking for a better brand because my Pochi has a lot, but a lot of hair and Pet Silk make his coat too soft and extremely fluffy. I think I will try Coat Handler which was recommended by a show breeder.
Hello, Everyone!
I have heard mixed info in how many baths a Maltese should have. Some say every week, some every 15 days, others monthy. Also, some people say that frequent baths is actually not good for the coat (which is the aproach I took towards my Samoyed and, sincerely, he doesn't stink...
Pipper has a grooming appointment Tuesday. This will be the first time at the groomer since the pandemic started. I'm a little nervous because I haven't been anywhere around other people. I get groceries online and pick them up curbside and same with anything else I need. Only place I go...
My Maltese Gianni has very dense, thick, wavy hair. Since a baby he has been impossible to groom. Jumping, twisting and biting, so he goes to groomer every three months. In these troubling times, all groomers are closed. Right now his hair is badly matted. Going to attempt with clippers today...
When people say they wrap their Maltese in rice paper, is that the rice paper we can buy at Asian market? The ones to make spring rolls?
Also, can a Maltese be kept on a long coat without having its fur wrapped?
