The Stuff Leave-in Dog Conditioner and Detangler Spray | 16oz Ready to Use | Perfect Solution for Managing Matted Dog Hair Dog Detangling and Dematting Spray

I have a Pomeranian, if you have a dog like this you will know brushing their hair is a chore with two layers of fur and a tendency to matte relatively quickly. I ended up choosing this based off the of the reviews and was not disappointed. Pomeranian's hair is thick and matted and hard to brush out, and even harder that my dog hates it. So this product said best to use after a bath (but can use it at anytime). So I gave my dog a bath, sprayed "the stuff" all over his hair and took my brush to him (I use a comb metal brush). I was very surprised at the detangling aspect of the spray. It didn't take out mattes that had been untouched for way to long (months) but it definitely helped detangle his hair and made it easier to get the brush through it. His hair was soft, smelt good, and best of all, untangled with no mattes! I brushed him later that week and was shocked that the brush could still get through his hair fairly easily! I have recently been told that you are supposed to dampen the dogs hair before brushing it anyway to avoid static and splitting of the hair, so this has been my go to. I don't see has big of a detangling benefit when the dog is dry and I use this product. But the overall softness of his coat and smell is great. It also gets rid of the static which has been very helpful during such a long and cold winter. I also like that it's non toxic and hypoallergenic which is nice to not have to worry about. If you've only used it on a dry dog, I would try it after a bath, because that's when it really shines in my eyes! My groomers can stop lecturing me about brushing his hair! "The Stuff" has proved to be my secret weapon for Pom Grooming. Will purchase again once this bottle is used up! :)

I don’t leave reviews much, like, hardly ever. But this stuff for dogs is so good I even use it on my own hair. I am serious

Smells so good and so sofa. Great value

Updated review, 2023: I took a break from using this while my dog was going through a coat change but have since come back to it. I really like this as an after-bath treatment before drying. Same results on the coat texture as mentioned below, however, since she's no longer going through a coat change, there are no more problems with matting. Still works great for de-matting before a bath, too. Original review, 2020: I bought the 4 oz concentrate for $19 (notice it has gone up $2 since I bought it about a month ago). I read somewhere that this was discontinued, which I find hard to believe, since it has such a cult following. So, I tried this diluted 1:15 with distilled water in a continuous spray bottle and used it as a leave-in spray on my shorter haired dog after his bath and it made his hair look lustrous and feel so soft after blow-drying. Then I tried it as a leave-in on my long (show coat) haired dog and what an absolute nightmare! Her hair is very cottony/soft. The spray made her coat look very nice at first, but then she started matting the same day and I kept finding huge mats on her each day until her next bath a week later. I almost bathed her again after 4-5 days just so I could wash it all out. Anyway, I will continue using this as a leave-in for my 2 short-haired dogs, but will only use as a de-matting spray before bathing my long-haired dog... making sure to wash it out completely before drying and brushing her. The 4 oz should last me quite a while, which is nice since it's on the pricey side.

I absolutely love The Stuff. It does what it says it does. It detangles. It smells amazing. It softens. It smooths. And it makes a stressful event, less stressful. I’ve gifted The Stuff because it works and I continue to recommend The Stuff because it’s worth it.

Love this Stuff!!! It makes comb outs so much easier and it doesn’t take a ton of product. Thanks to my Fantastic Groomer for the suggestion.

I was prepared to be disappointed again with another purchase to help manage my double coated dog’s coat. I was wrong. So wrong. Diluted 1/16 ratio, and applied with a spray bottle after towel drying my pup. Brushed it through her coat and spent a little extra time massaging it into her neck, tail and pants, as that is where her coat is thickest. Turned on the dryer and went to town. She seemed to dry faster but I didn’t have a timer going. What did happen, though, was an early snowstorm of fur surrounded us. So much of her undercoat came out! So happy! I did not pre brush her as much as I normally do for a bath so this was an amazing miracle of grooming. She finished fluffy, clean, and soft, just from drying her and brushing her out with the BioSilk dog brush. Downsides: The scent is a little chemical for me, but not strong and faded before the end of the blow dry. Biggest warning: this stuff is SLICK. I sprayed her in the tub at the dog wash, but if you do this at home, scrub the bathtub after. Even residue transfer is dangerous! When we came home, she conked out in her usual spot on my hardwood floor. The next day, I stepped on the same spot and biffed it, hard. I mopped up the residue with water and the floor seemed much less slippery after. The tiny bottle will probably last me the rest of my senior pup’s life. Heck, it probably would have lasted me her entire life, period. Diluted, I sprayed a one hundred pound Great Pyrenees down well with less than two ounces of product. That’s .125 oz of the original 4 oz bottle, or 32 washes. For about sixty cents a bath, this is AMAZING. If you have a small dog, or one with less fur it’ll last you even longer.

I'm a professional dog groomer. I've been recommended this product many times and of all the groomers I've asked it seems to be about 50/50 between groomers that love it and groomers that don't. As a detangler it does an alright job helping with getting tangles out of the hair. I wouldn't say it's amazing but it certainly helps. It smells nice if you think about it the right way. There was a period of time where I started to think it smelled like nail dust and I could barely use it because it grossed me out so much. I tried again and got a whiff of something nice, now I try to focus on that smell when I use it. It makes the ground super slippery, be very careful after using it and don't use too much at once or you might fall and die. It also leaves a weird feeling on the coat if you use too much. Definitely buy the concentrated bottle rather than the prediluted solution, you get way more for your money! Overall it's a good detangler, just use it sparingly. I think once I'm done with this bottle I'm going to try to find something else, though.

This tuff is literally THE stuff for detang’ing matts on your dog. My Old English Sheepdog needs daily grooming and seems to order matts overnight delivery from Amazon! One spritz and the matt cones apart with ease. I also use it after his conditoner as a pre blow dry detangler.

I bought this product and it arrived within a few days in the mail. Very prompt service !! I have two Australian Cobberdogs who can matt if not brushed through regularly. This product when I diluted it as directed, was awesome. It made getting knots and matts out much easier than any product I have used in the past. I'll definitely purchase again ... 5 Stars !!

Amazing!

I was recommended this product and I also highly recommend it. I used to spend 2 hours a day grooming my long haired Malshi. Tangles were ever present, but not the brush glides through her hair and I am done in about 15 minutes. She is happy and so am I. I will definitely be buying again. It smells nice too. The only downside is the bottle. It needs a small hole to pour through rather than a large neck. thinking it was a conditioner I was expecting it to be thick and it is VERY RUNNY. Works like a charm, but just be very careful when pouring it.

I love this product, it's the absolute best - But upon receiving it this time, it had leaked all through the postage pack and plastic bag.
