Tyke has a cotton coat and i had to go through this til i bought Minksheen shampoo and i cut his coat just a little. I used scissors and just cut it like i do people's hair ( i'm a hairstylist) anyways i have pictures of his coat on my profile if you want to look. when i cut the puppy hair off and i didn't cut it real short either and i changed to this shampoo he doesn't get mats anymore and his coat is always soft. it's totally amazing!!! i never would have thought his coat would be like this. he's 8 monthes old.
hope this might help ya out.
