You know, I really don't understand why a professional groomer would need to shave a dog, especially a Yorkie since their hair is more like "hair", just because of some mats. I know when Tatum was a puppy, I was using a brush on her after baths for a couple months until I realized that the brush was not getting down to her skin. Once I realized that, I used a good conditioner and combed her out. Yes, there were mats and tangles BUT the conditioner worked wonders. You would think a groomer would have products that they can use when a dog is tangled or matted. Now when I give Tatum a bath, I use a spray conditioner and just kinda pick at any tangles or mats and they come right out.
I'm sorry your pup had to be shaved. I'm sure it will grow out quickly. Better luck next time!
