I have a 4 month old Morkie and am new to YT. Can someone recommend a good shampoo and conditioner that helps with mats. Is there a leave-in treatment that is good? My baby, Mason, has been groomed once. The groomer told me that with her experience with this particular cross, she believes that they mat even worse than a full-blooded yorkie when their adult hair starts coming in. I brush him every day with a slicker brush but he still gets mats. She says it is too soon for her to tell what type of hair he is going to have. When I go to the pet supply store, there are so many different shampoos to choose from that I just end up leaving without anything. I am using my shampoo and conditioner to bath him but after reading some posts, I see that this is not good for his coat and skin. I apologize if this issue has already been addressed on this site but I searched this forum for quite some time and never found a thread that answered my questions. Any suggestions?
