Hi Dale,
I read in your Maltese wrapping blog about "coat oil." I have only had Maltese companions, but I have heard coat oil can help in removing small mats in the coat. What is coat oil? I sure enjoy your site and thank you for the pics. I hope to hear from you when they are ready to go. Rhonda Schroeder
Hey Rhonda,
Using oil can help seal the coat and protect it from damage.
There are several great products that you can use for dogs, but our favorites are Neutrogena Bath Oil or
Avon Skin So Soft.
We mix two cap fulls of oil to 1 gallon of warm water and shake well
Just brush out the coat as normal shampoo and rinse, press out excess water with a towel, pour the
mixture of oil down the part starting at the head.
If you have several dogs to do you can use a pan and reuse your oil.
Dry the maltese allowing the heat of the dryer to spread the oil evenly through the coat.
I will take some photos of a maltese in oil for the BLOG, it really doesnt come off but they do have a
"greasy kids stuff" look going on.
The coat will not tangle tight and you can go about a week with no real brushing out with no serious
tangles (do the topnot and face every other day).
Even if you don't want to keep your maltese in oil all of the time, should you have to leave a dog in
coat with somebody or be unable to to regular grooming it can buy you some time.
Best,
Dale
