Dog grooming taken to a whole new level... (new discount coupon code added!)

You may know after reading this blog for the past (almost) year that I have a puggle named Maggie. She has smooth-coated fur which is close to the body and short and stiff. Her skin is soft, and often sensitive to harsh products, so I am careful with what I use on her when grooming her.

I have tried lots of shampoos and conditioners on her. Some I liked, some not so much. Some lathered, some not. Some for a puppy, some for your average dog. But never have a tried a shampoo, conditioner, and finishing spray specially designed for my dogs specific type of fur.

Enter Isle of Dogs. A very cool company with a very cool concept: a grooming system specifically designed by the kind of dog you have (and their type of coat).The system provides each dog with a combination of the following products that work from the outside in as topical solutions (like shampoos, conditioners, and grooming sprays), and from the inside out as supplements. The products are available in a numbering system, to help dog owners best identify the corresponding product for their dog(s):

* Series 00 Puppy Shampoos
* Series 10 Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) Shampoos
* Series 20 Royal Jelly Shampoos
* Series 30 Purpose-Driven Shampoos
* Series 50 Conditioners
* Series 60 Conditioning Sprays
* Series 90 Supplements

I tried the number 10 shampoo, which smells amazing and lathers nicely. The number 51 heavy management conditioner also smells clean and great and made my dog's fur nice and soft. And I also loved how the evening primrose oil conditioning mist made my dog's fur shiny. It smelled great and it easily misted on my dog.

Check out these great products and see which one is right for your dog. It's fun! Also, keep in mind that they make great gift sets, which make a perfect, thoughtful gift for a new dog owner (or for the holidays)
