Momo has cottony coat, & he hates brushing time too. The only way he'll let me groom him is to give him a ziggie in his kong. He'll sit there chewing away, & I brush him as fast as I can! If I skip a day, he'll tangle...around the arm pit area, inner thigh area, his butt. So I try to brush him once a day, sometimes if I have time, brush twice a day. His hair is pretty long now & daily brushing w/EQyss conditioning spray & a bath every 2 weeks w/Nova Pearls Conditoner is keeping him a little more manageable.
