My 11 mo old Morkie has really soft hair I don't know if I'd call it silky or what. It parts down the middle of her back naturally and is pretty straight. My problem with Belle is she mats really easy and they are like little cotton balls stuck to her. This is my first experience with a coat like hers and I am not sure what to do? I comb her everyday but the way she rolls and twists around on the floor is bound to cause mats. If I put her sweater on or her vest for walking, she gets mats. I have tried all kinds of products and nothing really helps. I even tried corn starch but that did nothing. I get to the point where I cut the mats out because combing them would hurt her. I can't keep cutting mats or she will be bald! Anyone help me please?
