I've read that it's important not to wet the hair with water when trying to get out a mat, as water can make it worse. Some people use regular conditioner and just work it into the mat, and others have suggested that cornstarch also works, although I've never tried this. There are matting combs that have a sharp blade between the teeth, and these too, must be used with caution, but they cut right through the mat.
I honestly think you should look for another groomer, there are many show breeders that will groom your dog, and know many different cuts and styles and they don't charge that much. It sounds like that grooming shop comes with bragging rights!  |
yea, you're right about the cost. i do think it's expensive. i just get so overwhelmed with all the diff groomers out there. i just think that the more expensive the place, the better the service. i'll just pay the cost and save myself the trouble and headache of doing research. not a very smart move on my part.
anyways, i'm going to look into those detanglers. i just googled cowboy magic detangler and it sounds great. i'll have to place an order soon.
thanks, nancy!
