Thank you all so much for the recommendations. I will try them, one by one, and see which works the best for her tangles. She seems to get little mats that are so hard to get out. I have to tug them out strand by strand, holding the base of the mat, so that she doesn't get hurt. They seem to be back in a couple of days! She is wearing her warm jerseys all the time now, as it is so chilly, and I think that this is giving her the mats, although I can't be sure. Does anyone else find that their little dogs get these mats? She is bathed once or twice a week and I find that the conditioner I used did not help to release the mats at all. I just have to sit down and take them out by hand. I can't use a comb as it hurts her. I brush her every day in the mornings and then put on her jersey, but brushing does not release the mats either. I am making it sound as though she is covered in matted hair but this is not the case!! It is just a few tufts here and there but, obviously, I don't want her to have any at all.
Thanks again for your recs.
