Product Information
Full details
The Artero Keratin Vital Concentrated Conditioner is designed for pet owners and groomers seeking to improve fur quality, manageability, and shine, especially for long and medium-length coats. Its key benefit is the instant detangling and deep conditioning provided by a high concentration of keratin, which helps regenerate damaged follicles and prevent matting. A potential caveat is its concentrated formula, which may require careful dilution or application for optimal results.

FAQs
Can this conditioner be used on all pet types?
It is specifically formulated for dogs and cats with long and medium-length coats. While it can be used on other coat types, its primary benefits are most apparent on longer fur.
How often should I use the Artero Keratin Vital Concentrated Conditioner?
You can use it as part of your regular grooming routine, typically every time you bathe your pet. For best results in managing tangles and improving coat health, consistent use is recommended.
What is the difference between leaving it in and rinsing it out?
Leaving it in provides continuous conditioning and protection against matting. Rinsing it out offers immediate softness and shine without any potential for buildup, making the coat lighter.
How do I dilute the concentrated formula?
A good starting point is a 1:10 ratio of conditioner to water (1 part conditioner to 10 parts water). You can adjust this ratio based on your pet's coat condition and type. Always shake the mixture well before applying.
Does this product contain harsh chemicals?
The product contains ingredients like Aqua, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Keratin, and Aloe Barbadensis. It is designed for pet grooming. Always check the full ingredient list if you have specific concerns about your pet's sensitivities.
What size is the product available in?
The product information indicates it is available in a 100ml size and also a 650ml size.
Can I use this on puppies or kittens?
While the product is generally safe, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian before using any new grooming products on very young animals, especially if they have sensitive skin.
Troubleshooting
Fur remains difficult to brush after application.
Ensure the conditioner is adequately diluted or consider using a more concentrated mixture. Massage the product thoroughly into the coat, ensuring even distribution. Allow it to sit for a few minutes before attempting to brush.
Coat appears greasy or weighed down.
You may be using too much product or not rinsing thoroughly enough if using as a rinse-out treatment. Try using a smaller amount, diluting it further, or rinsing for a longer period.
Product seems to have no effect on matting.
For severe matting, physical detangling techniques may be required first. This conditioner is best for preventing new knots and managing minor tangles, rather than removing deeply embedded mats. Ensure consistent application on a regular basis.
Pet shows signs of skin irritation.
Discontinue use immediately. While rare, some pets may have sensitivities to ingredients. Ensure the product is not getting into the pet's eyes or mucous membranes. Consult with a veterinarian.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This conditioner is ready to use. For optimal results, it is recommended to dilute the concentrated formula with water. A common starting ratio is 1 part conditioner to 10 parts water, but this can be adjusted based on coat type and condition. Thoroughly shake the mixture before applying.
Application: After shampooing and rinsing the pet's coat, apply the diluted conditioner evenly. Massage it into the fur, paying special attention to tangled or dry areas. For a leave-in treatment, apply a small amount and work through the coat, avoiding the eye area. For a rinse-out treatment, leave on for 2-5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on dogs and cats with long and medium-length coats. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin if you are concerned about sensitivities. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Care: Store the conditioner in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain product integrity. The product is available in 650ml and 100ml sizes.
