I appreciate this thread. My Romi just turned a year this month and I will have had him for a year come March. We, here in Michigan, had cold weather and possilbility of static for a few months when he was a pup. But have not had this problem till now. I wash and condition him, I try to brush him every couple of days, when I started noticing tangles close to the skin and very hard to get out. Just when I think I have them out, more are there or I missed them and they're worse. I thought maybe the static was contributing to it, and maybe dry skin. I do run a humidifier, too. I just had him groomed and they just about shaved him, wich just breaks my heart. Either they missed some spots or he developed some tangles by that night! (the hair on his head and ears is still a bit long, so I can put it in a pony)
I was also told NEVER condition a Yorkie (he is mixed with a maltese)! Not even a leave in or detangler. He is too soft to begin with. That makes no sence to me. She did recomend a anti stat product, and said I could try to make my own. Dilute frizz ease with water and spray. So that advice seems contradictory! I want him to have a nice shiny mid length coat. A few products were recomended here, and so was lotion and conditioner. Oh, I am so confused. Help!
