[nagdu] speaking of winter...

[Julie J]

I've used both jojoba and coconut oil on Monty's coat.   It sounds like 
Drummer's coat is a lot dryer though.   I generally put a small bit in my 
hands, rub them together and then rub down Monty when he's still damp after 
a bath.  then I use the rubber nubby brush to distribute the oil through his 
coat evenly. I have no idea how it would work if put on a dry coat.

Good luck,
Julie
