Super Coat | Volumizing Dog Coat Spray for Body, Lift & Natural Finish

Super Coat is a lightweight volumizing spray designed to add lift, body, and fullness without leaving the coat sticky, oily, or heavy.

Originally developed for the show ring, Super Coat builds lift and fullness in the coat while maintaining natural feel and movement. Whether you're working on a double coat that's gone flat after drying, adding body for presentation, or finishing before a class, it gives you control without the stiffness of traditional styling products.

Formulated with hydrolyzed wheat protein, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol, Super Coat conditions and strengthens the coat during regular grooming and show preparation — not just at the finish line.

Perfect for

• Building lift and volume in flat or dense coats
• Blow-drying, backcombing, and finishing work
• Topline correction and outline refinement
• Double-coated and wire-coated breeds
• Show dogs and competitive grooming

The result is a coat that looks fuller, feels natural, and holds its presentation.

Super Coat wasn't created for quick cosmetic fixes. It was developed for the realities of professional grooming and the demands of the show ring, where coat presentation matters and the difference between a good coat and a great one often comes down to finishing.

Whether you're building volume in a double coat, adding body to a coat that tends to fall flat, or preparing a dog for competition, Super Coat delivers lift, fullness, and substance without leaving the coat sticky, stiff, or overloaded with product.

Unlike heavy coat dressings that weigh hair down, Super Coat works with the coat's natural texture — building volume and body while maintaining movement, manageability, and a natural finish.

Professional groomers and experienced handlers use Super Coat during blow-drying and coat preparation to maximize body, improve overall presentation, and support a fuller-looking coat. The lightweight formula distributes evenly, brushes through easily, and won't leave behind the greasy buildup associated with traditional coat sprays.

From weekend shows to national specialties, Super Coat has earned its place as a grooming-room staple for exhibitors who want lift and body without sacrificing the natural look and feel of the coat.

The result is a coat that stays touchable, brushable, and ring-ready.

Super Coat is highly versatile and can be used at different dilution rates depending on coat type, humidity, and the amount of volume desired. Always dilute before use.

How to apply

• Spray directly into the undercoat in sections.
• Backbrush to build fullness and lift from the base.
• Blow dry against the direction of coat growth until completely dry.
• Brush through to finish.

Dilution guide

• 50/50 water to product — standard show preparation and maximum volume
• 70/30 water to product — lighter application or humid show days
• 90/10 water to product — very humid conditions; allow extra drying time

Show timing

• Begin applying one to two days before the show for best results.
• The coat typically looks its best on the second or third day — volume settles, texture develops, and the finish feels completely natural.

For ringside touch-ups

• Lightly mist targeted areas and brush into place.
• Use sparingly to refresh presentation and reduce flyaways.

Pro tip

Start with less than you think you need. A light application often produces the most natural-looking volume — you can always add more.

Note on humid weather

Super Coat can be slow to dry in high humidity and may feel slightly tacky until fully dry. Use a more diluted ratio and allow extra drying time. The coat will settle once dry.

What is a volumizing coat spray for dogs?

A volumizing coat spray is a leave-in grooming product applied after drying to add lift, body, and fullness to the coat. Unlike conditioners, which hydrate and soften, a volumizing spray builds structure and thickness in the coat without adding weight or residue. It is designed to make the coat appear fuller and hold its shape longer — without changing its natural texture or feel.

How do I add volume and lift to my dog's coat?

The most effective method is to apply a diluted volumizing spray directly into the undercoat, backbrush to build lift from the base, then blow dry against the direction of coat growth until the coat is completely dry. Drying is the step most people rush — the coat needs to be fully dry for the volume to set properly. Super Coat works best when applied one to two days before showing, with the coat typically reaching its best texture and body on the second or third day.

What is the difference between a finishing spray and a conditioner?

A conditioner is designed to hydrate and soften the coat and is used during or immediately after the bath. A finishing spray is used after the coat is dry and serves a completely different purpose — it builds structure, lift, and body rather than moisture or softness. Using a conditioner at the finishing stage actually works against volume by adding weight and softening the coat's natural texture. Super Coat is a finishing and volumizing spray, not a conditioning product.

Can I use Super Coat on a double-coated breed?

Yes — double-coated breeds are one of the coat types Super Coat works especially well on. Breeds like German Shepherds, Samoyeds, Belgians, Collies and Chow Chows can lose fullness and stand-off in the outer coat after blow drying. Applying Super Coat into the undercoat and backbrushing before drying helps restore that lift and body. For dense double coats, start with a 50/50 dilution for maximum volume and adjust based on the individual coat.

When should I apply coat spray before a dog show?

Start applying Super Coat one to two days before the show rather than the night before or the morning of. The coat typically looks its best on the second or third day — the volume has settled, the texture has developed, and the finish feels completely natural rather than freshly sprayed. A light ringside touch-up on show day can be used to refresh targeted areas or manage flyaways, but the foundation work should be done in advance.

Why does my dog's coat feel tacky after using a coat spray?

Tackiness after applying a coat spray is almost always caused by one of two things: too much product, or the coat not being fully dry. Super Coat can be slow to dry in humid conditions and may feel slightly tacky until completely dry — this is normal and the coat will settle once dry. If tackiness persists after drying, reduce the amount of product used or increase the dilution ratio. In high humidity, a 70/30 or 90/10 water to product ratio will reduce the chance of the coat feeling overloaded.

Does coat spray build up in the dog's coat over time?

It depends on the formula. Many traditional coat sprays rely on heavy silicones or wax-based compounds that accumulate in the coat with repeated use, eventually making it look dull, feel coated, and attract more debris. Super Coat is silicone-free and paraben-free, and is formulated to leave no buildup with regular use. For dogs being groomed and shown frequently, a deep cleansing bath periodically will reset the coat and ensure product is not accumulating at the skin level regardless of which products are being used.

Super Coat is Cindra's flagship product — and there is a reason for that.

When Tasha Mesina acquired Cindra, Super Coat was the product that made the decision easy. After years of working dogs and preparing dogs for the show ring, she had never found anything that did what Super Coat does — adds genuine body, volume, and shine without leaving behind the buildup, stiffness, or heaviness that most coat sprays do.

There is still nothing else like it on the market.

For handlers who show regularly, Super Coat becomes part of the routine in a way that is hard to explain until you have used it. The coat carries more body. The outline looks sharper. The finish is natural — not sprayed, not overdone, just right. And because it does not build up with repeated use, it works as well on day thirty as it did on day one.

"I don't consider my dogs ready for the ring without Super Coat. It's that simple." — Tasha Mesina, Owner, Cindra Grooming Products

That is the standard Super Coat is held to. And it keeps meeting it.
