Hi Messyheart,

I think you always find your own way of doing your show baths. I always use Woolite, I went to a show grooming demo of Laura Cunningham,one of the top Coonie breeders in the US and a reputable Tica judge. She listed Woolite and goop to be show bath essentials. I have done baths without using them and have to be honest,the result was less pleasing and I ended up doing it again lol. Each to their own though,I have three Maine coons and they all have very different coats.

Nails I always do just before the bath, and I do the show bath two days before the show.

Hope the Manchester and District show goes well for you.

Izzie
