I am having the worst time figuring out groomers, brushing, and coats. The groomers I have taken Percy to have not been much help. I can not figure out how to keep his coat nice. It looks silky and wonderful right after a bath and brushing, but as soon as he starts to walk, it looks stringy and out of place. I am using a slicker brush and a metal pin comb on him. I have asked groomers and gotten a different answer every time on which is proper.
Also, is it ok to comb them out when they are dry? I have gotten mixed answers on this as well. Since I am not sure, I spray him with detangler every time, and am wondering if this is making his coat worse. What is the best to use between baths for brushing? Not a brand per say, what type of spray?
I can't tell if he is a cotton coat, or wiry coat. My hubby says he is silky, and he def is very very silky on his head, but his body is only silky is brushed a lot. Otherwise it gets scragly. I personally think it is coarse, but am overly picky. His hair reminds me a lot of my own. Gets tangled easy. There is no curl to it though.
As of right now in my "arsonal" I have several different kinda of shampoo, conditioner, fur butter, finishing spray, and buddy splash. Do I only use finishing spray after baths? And can I use the buddy splash everyday as a detangler? Or is there something else?
I am sorry for the questions/rant it is just driving me nuts at this point. As you might have guessed, I just got done brushing him.
