what products/ accessories do you use to get your baby's coat silky and smooth? |
During the first year the puppy coat is growing out and it's the most dificult time to maintain a coat. The under belly is best shaved as part of a "sanitary grooming" and the rest of the coat can be conditioned with any one of a variety of products, that just takes a little experimenting to find what works best for you. Diluting the product at 5parts water to one part product will give better results than using any product full strength.
If your puppy has a cotton texture to the coat it will be more time consuming to maintain because it will have to be brushed every day and bathed at least every week. If the coat is silk it will get easier to keep at about six months old and brushing can be reduced to maybe twice per week.
