Help - The hair dresser shaved it all off

[divasprincess]

I took Diva in for a haircut since she was matted and the girl shaved the hair on her tail off as well. Has anyone else's ever done this?

I've see lots of Yorkies shaved down for one reason or another. They don't seem to mind a bit.

Usually they don't have to shave everything; they leave the face, topknot, and tail. You might try using Cowboy Magic Detangler and Shine; it's great for removing mats. This is usually why they shave them. If you dress her often, mats can become a problem even for silky coats, but especially for cotton coats. If her hair is oily, put the Cowboy Magic on before bath and brush out mats. Shampoo and condition as usual. If hair is dry, do the same thing, but add a little Cowboy Magic after the bath as well. After you brush her, it good to follow up with the comb close to the skin so you know all the tangles are gone, otherwise they turn into mats. Under the arms and around the groin are places to check carefully.
