| Why is it bad to brush their coats when Why is it bad to brush their coats when their hair is dry? Also, if you don't bathe them everyday then when would it be ok to brush their hair?

| it breaks the hair. Use a spray in conditioner type. That's what I do when I brush Bella's.

| Most people never bathe their dogs everyday..Mine get groomed 3-4 times a year. You know, I have a hard time with the brushing wet stuff...I think if they supposedly have hair like us, then why would it have to be damp to brush it..(you could use a spray bottle with water in it to dampen them), but, I brush mine dry... |

Mine look horrible and begin to smell after about 7 days.. I can't imagine how it would be after 3 months. But anyway- I always brush mine dry and haven't noticed any breakage. Both their coats are beautiful.. especially when it's clean.

| I started using buddy splash from Cloud Star. I also use the buddy wash and buddy rinse. It smells so good and makes Diddy soft and fluffy.

| Mine are strictly pee pad trained, although, when it's nice out, they get to go out back and run for about 10 minutes..they have never stunk, and their hair is very nice/shiny..My oldest yorkies looked greasy all the time when I first got her, but, i was bathing her about once a week..after talking to the groomer, she informed me I was bathing her too much and washing the natural oils out, she said 3-4 times a year..I listened to her, and they all have nice coats now |

| I comb them dry, but I also use Ice on Ice after bathing and about twice before their next shampooing.

| Buddy Splash by Cloud Star is wonderful. It is filled with natural herbs & oils. I use lavender & mint, but I just found out they have 2 new scents. Af ew squirts of that and it is so easy to brush them or comb them. It's great at getting out matts and keeps from damaging a dry coat www.cloudstar.com -- plus some places carry it
