| Does anyone else have this problem? Summe's little t shirts and sweaters cause her fur to knot if I leave them on her for any length of time. She looks so cute, but isn't worth all the knots she has afterwards. Has anyone else had this problem? She is more on the cotteny side than silky. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

| I think most Yorkies, cotton or silky coated, will do some matting wearing clothes and harnesses. I cut the hair close to the skin under their arms, and very short on the chest and belly. You can also use some type of either PetSilk Liquid Silk to those areas that matt easily. PetSilk Liquid Silk - PetSilk Products There is a human grade product that works beautifully on the cotton coats to help prevent matting and that is Hask, Pure Shine Frizz Remedy. I think it's even better at keeping the coat from matts than the Liquid Silk, but I dearly love the Liquid Silk on them and it smells wonderful!

| I got it at Wal-Mart, but if you don't have one then I'm sure the drug stores would have it as well.
