How does Groomer get them so soft?

We gave Allie a bath last night. She actually sat good for us. I used whitening shampoo/conditioner on her. Then I used my blow dryer for about 20 minutes (She hated that), let her dry the rest on her own. When she was all dried I tried to brush her (She was done with grooming by this time :oops: ). But she does not feel as soft as when she goes to the groomers! What do they use??? What do you guys use??

I bet it lies in the conditioner. Either a different brand, or an additional "leave-in" conditioner at the end.
I have been using the Isle of Dog products on Pearl and Heart for the last couple of washings. They have a website, I think.

They have a great shampoo, conditioner and a finishing spray.

In the past, winter has always been "shock" time with Pearl. Her hair is so filled with static sparks fly when we touch her. :lol: :lol:

Now, even after a few weeks, her hair is so soft and more managable...and no shocks!!!!
A lot of that super fluff comes from using a high powered dryer. Brushing out the coat as the dryer is blowing the strands of hair straight gets rid of the crimp (curl or wave) in the coat.
Hi,
I'm a groomer in the uk and I use a good detangler shampoo on my oes, never use detangler spray etc I find that just matts the coat up even more and using conditioner makes it harder to dry and is no good for when you need to cut the coat as it goes to lank/limp.

The power dryers do make a differance when you want the coat fluffy, however by using a normal human powerful hairdryer and using a slicker brush when drying will give you the same effect but make sure its dry before finishing.
I often wonder that, but I seem to achieve it more when I use a leave in conditioner while combing. Wish I had a good dryer too b/c I can tell a huge difference the more I blow dry the curls esp when grooming my smaller dog
A nice powerful dryer really does make a difference in fluffing them up. We have the Metro Air Force Quick Draw and, for its size, it really makes a big difference from a handheld human dryer. It's a lot less heat, a lot more blow!
