Burt's Bees Conditioner for Yorkies

Words · Craig & Sammy · ASIN B00CVTROQ6 · Filed under  Shampoos & Conditioners

“Sammy's not a fan of baths, but this doesn't irritate him. The softness payoff is real—lasted a week on his coat. Only gripe: goes on like bathwater, which means you waste half the bottle rinsing.”

Your Yorkie's bath routine is not complete without a quality conditioner, and Burt's Bees oatmeal formula is perfect for sensitive Yorkshire Terrier skin. The colloidal oat flour and honey work together to soothe irritation while deeply moisturizing your Yorkie's fine, silky coat. Yorkshire Terriers are prone to dry, itchy skin, and conditioning after every shampoo helps restore the moisture barrier that keeps them comfortable. This gentle formula detangles those delicate strands, making post-bath brushing much easier on both you and your pup. The natural ingredients mean no harsh chemicals touching your Yorkie's sensitive skin, which is especially important for this breed.

Free from sulfates, colorants, and artificial fragrances, this conditioner is safe for even the most sensitive Yorkies. For your 4-7 pound companion, a small amount provides thorough coverage, making each bottle last through many grooming sessions. The soothing relief formula is ideal for Yorkies dealing with seasonal allergies or general skin sensitivity. Pair with the matching Burt's Bees oatmeal shampoo for a complete, gentle grooming routine your Yorkie will love.

What owners say

From the reviews.

This conditioner has strong bones: 4.5-star rating across 10,574 reviews, with 202 of 253 effectiveness mentions positive and genuine repeat-purchase intent. The gentleness and softening action are consistent and reliable, especially for sensitive-skin dogs and curly/doodle coats prone to matting. The main friction is the watery texture (48 negative consistency mentions) and minimal fragrance, which disappoints some but suits others. Value perception splits: some find it fair, others say it's overpriced given the runny formula and bottle size for large dogs.

Customer questions

Things people ask.

Q01. Will this conditioner irritate my dog's sensitive skin? +

No — 92 of 110 reviewers specifically praise its gentleness, with no irritation reported. Safe for weekly use without causing dryness.

Q02. How long does the softness last after one wash? +

Typically 3–7 days, according to reviewers. One noted it lasted over a week on a doodle; another saw results fade within a day on shorter coats.

Q03. Is the consistency too thin to apply properly? +

Yes, for many — 48 of 63 consistency mentions describe it as watery and runny. One reviewer reported it slipped right through their hands. Works okay on short-haired dogs, problematic on thick coats.

Q04. Will one 10 oz bottle last through multiple baths on a large dog? +

No. Multiple reviewers with 90+ lb dogs noted the bottle barely covers one wash, and several reported needing to use 'a lot' to be effective.

Q05. What does this smell like? +

Barely anything—52 reviewers found it almost unscented or very mild. Some cite notes of oatmeal and honey; others say it lacks fragrance entirely. If you want a strong dog shampoo smell, this isn't it.
