  Please help formulating dog detangler

  Posted by Gunther on January 11, 2019 at 10:35 pm

  Lots of dog detanglers seem identical to human ones:

  They comprise
  behentrimonium methosulfate / chloride, or cetrimonium chloride
  cetyl or cetearyl alcohol
  some contain silicones
  and of course water and preservatives.

  I realized
  A. Dogs don’t like sprays, so rub on liquids/creams are better.
  B. Human conditioners work fine but dogs need more detangling than humans do. 

  1 Is amodimethicone preferable to dimethicone?
  2 Is a high-slip silicone like Polyox desirable?
  3 Are additional cationics like stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, cationic guar or polyquaterniums needed or its overkill?
  4 Isothazolinones are toxic for pets. Are parabens OK?
  5 Any other advice?
