Quickly brush with a slicker brush , don’t try to remove tangles.Rinse well.
Shampoo the dog with the shampoo of your choice. I use the maintenance line banana for medium coats.(1:5)
Rinse the shampoo.
Now it’s time to apply conditioner to the coat.
Mix 1 part ph balance, 1 part pek conditioner, 1 part k101.
Add water and mix well.
Pour the mixture to the entire coat in the direction of the hair growth.
Rinse well.
Blow dry with a pet dryer on high level so the tangles open and get away from the skin.
Brush the tangles out then the coat and finish drying as usual.

Pink grapefruit mask ( fruit of the groomer line)

This pink grapefruit mask is from fruit of the groomer line, it closes the cuticle to protect it during the cleansing step ( shampoo step). Pink grapefruits suits medium coat.
I mix it 1:3 to water , apply it in the direction the hair grows and let it sits for 5 minutes.
This mask cleans areas in the sebaceous zones
where most toxins enter the skin.

new diet : orijen six fish

D’Artagnan has been having diarrhea on and off for a while now. I was feeding Taste of the wild puppy ( just because the kibbles were smaller ). I tried all tastes from this brand with more or less protein, reducing amount and he was still having  digesting issues. I did some research I found out that many sensitive dogs are having this kind of issue with TOTW and decided to feed him orijen. It is more expensive that TOTW, ($81 vs $50) but the ingredients are fresh and feeding amount recommended is less. I was surprised to see that it came in an air tight bag. The bag was actually made of thick plastic and some sort of aluminium coating for freshness. So far he is doing well. His poop is back to normal. Aramis has no issues with TOTW so  he is staying on his current diet. Overall he is stronger and much less sensitive than D’Artagnan.
