2 dogs, 2 coats?

[LucyNTuckersMom]

My 2 pups are not related. One has a nice easy to manage tangle free coat. The other gets knots that bring me to tears. Thin little cotton hair. Is this normal? If so, what do you do with the knotty dogs? The knotty one is the female, and it kills me to think she will have to be a "short hair"- but wowza. She knots up over night!

I use Sea Breeze by Plush Puppy for my Chanel who has a soft coat - she hardly mats now since I started using it almost 2 years ago...but I think the secret is keeping the hair clean at all times - I don't schedule baths - I bathe my girls when they need it.... and if I do see a tangle work it out with my fingers before brushing - that helps too

Also Johnsons No More Tangles (for real babies) is great for brushing out the coat - and cheap

Villette- Is the Sea Breeze something you use daily or just when you bathe them, Is it a shampoo or a detangler. Cali mats a lot as well. Thanks

It's a water based oil that you spray after a bath or between baths - I swear by it for Chanels hair....it's pricey but you only need a tiny bit - when I use it on Cheri I just spray one shot on my hands and rub it on her - it's an anti-breakage formula that really coats the hair, gives it a nice shine AND moisturizes it -

I just went to the plush puppy site to get the Sea breeze and the shipping is cheeper here I'm gonna get it for Teddys coat, he's got to have something he looks like a little fur ball all the time bless his heart! The top of his coat is so smooth and sliky but let me tell U 1/2 down his back and his behind is a fur ball, puffs out, he looks cute tho but drives me nuts. I hope it will help him. Thanks Villette for the thoughts on this. I go through and read about hair products before I buy that way I can see what U all like, how it does on diffrent coat and such! Thanks so much! Hugs, Lee
