| HELP do I cut her coat for hygiene My little girl tilly has a long coat and is bathed once a week. She is brushed everyday and loves to be groomed. My problem is wee! Because her hair is so long, every time she has a wee she saturates her bum and back legs and is becoming a pain! I love her long hair but just wanted to know what other people would advise me doing as I don't really want to cut her short. |

| You can gather the hair on her hips in a band and pull to each side...or you can braid the hair to stay out of the way....I would trim the leg hair a bit. |

| I do have this problem sometimes with Rosie. I use baby wipes to clean her up. Also pinning up the hair as YorkieRose suggested will also help. If you use the baby wipes I think it will help.

| This is the reason I can't let Fido's coat grow, He pees on his coat but it isnt long enough so I can braid it or put plastic bands. I would shave her if you are willing to do that.
