The Australian home of K9 Competition!

 K9 Competition! Yippee!!!

We're so very happy to once again make the entire K9 Competition range available in Australia! We missed the amazing coat quality that comes from healthy, moisturized skin. We missed the brilliant shine, the fantastic volume & the perfect texture. We missed hair that looked & felt just like beautiful, healthy hair (not sticky, stiff or 'producty') We missed glossy. smooth coats with no flakes. We missed improved hair growth. We missed less tangles... less hair loss & breakage... more length & volume. And (let's face it...) we really missed better coats with less time & effort. If you're nodding your head, you'll also be liking our new pricing, making K9 Competition even better value. And if you don't understand why we're getting so goddam excited about shampoo, perhaps you should try it...!

Fabulous Feathers 101

 No. We're not talking about birds. Or Mardi Gras costumes. We're talking about those gorgeous, icing-on-the-cake fringes of hair that adorn ears, belly, back of legs & tail of various breeds -  like Setters, Spaniels, Papillons & Salukis.

Supreme Champion Talkabout Son Of A Gun
 Feathers are generally fine and/or silky in texture, and are often quite delicate. The trick is to keep the hair moisturized to prevent tangles, breakage & hair loss (and staining! Hair with optimized moisture balance is less porous & less likely to absorb unwanted pigments from urine, dirt etc) WITHOUT weighing the hair down with heavy, oily products. That's why top breeders & exhibitors all over the world love K9 Competition! Like Tony Kyman & Allan Wishart - owners, breeders & handlers of Australia's Number 1 Saluki for 2018 -  MBIS Supreme Champion Talkabout Son Of A Gun. Congratulations to Tony & Allan on Usher's success! Usher also finished 2018 #1 Hound in Victoria, & #4 All Breeds in Victoria. We're so proud you trust K9 Competition to make this very special dog look his best! 
Here are our 4 Must Haves for growing Fabulous Feathers...

1. Keratin+ Shampoo

 To optimize length & volume, coats need to be kept clean & conditioned. Keratin+ Shampoo is perfect for frequent bathing. It's mild & gentle formulation is based on an ultra-restoring blend of Keratin Protein & D-Panthenol to make coats look & feel healthy. It smoothes & nourishes right to the ends, without weighing down the coat. It delivers an incredible shine (look at Usher!) while boosting strength & elasticity. Repairs  damaged coats in just one bath. And if all that isn't enough, it also reduces your drying time (calling all Spaniels...!) and is super-economical, diluting up to 1:20. White feathers? K9 Competition Sterling Silver Shampoo is the same fantastic formula, with an optical brightener specifically designed to effectively target yellow stains. (And as it contains no bleaching agents, it's perfectly safe to use all over on parti-coloured dogs)

2. Keratin+Conditioner

Please use conditioner! (& not just because we want to sell it to you...) Shampoo & Conditioner are different pHs - shampoo opens up the hair cuticle, conditioner smooths & seals it. Sealing the cuticle means 1. it won't dry out & be prone to sun damage, tangles & breakage...2. it will be less porous & less vulnerable to staining... 3...it won't absorb as much water & will dry faster. Our Keratin+ Conditioner has the added bonus of Keratin Protein & D-Panthenol to boost the strength, resilience & elasticity of every hair for maximum length & volume - but without making the coat heavy, oily or dull. Dilutes up to 1:40  - adjust according to the amount of Love required. White Feathers...? Yep. There's Sterling Silver Conditioner - same formula with the added performance of our brilliant optical brightener.

3. Nanomist Spray

Ever heard the old chestnut "Never brush a wet coat. Never brush a dry coat. Never brush a dirty coat"...? Mist this magic spray over dry coats to cut static, detangle & make brushing a breeze. For maintenance brushing, tiny nanoliposomes penetrate the scales of the hair shaft to keep coats healthy & moisturized. Which means less breakage & hair loss. Doesn't build up, so can be used daily if needed. Won't leave coats greasy or oily... which also makes it perfect for show-day brushing. Eliminates static & makes feathers sit beautifully without making hair dull, heavy, oily or sticky. Just healthy, smooth, shiny hair!

4. Silk Shine Serum

...and the finishing touch...? Rub just a couple of drops of Silk Shine between your hands & smooth over the body coat for extra shine, & down into the feathers for extra control.
Shampoos & Conditioners available in 300ml. 2.7l & 5.7l
Nanomist available in 250ml Spray Bottle, plus 2.7 l & 5.7l refills
Silk Shine available in 30ml pump pack
