Here is what I do for my babies and it seems to work well.

1. I spray them with some diluted conditioner; 16 parts water to 1 part conditioner to reduce hair breakage.
2. I brush them through with a bristle brush.
3. I then use a slicker brush which helps with the mats and they seem to tolerate it pretty well.
PetEdge: Oscar Frank Universal Standard Soft Slicker Brush
4. I've also been using this little grooming comb for their face as well as to work out any remaining mats.

I used to have a problem with my first Yorkie getting matted but since I've been doing this regimine, she seems to hardly get mats anymore.

Thank goodness because I hated having to get them out.
