I wash her with Mane and Tale and then use the Motions Conditioner along with the furworse butter (Fur Butter (or fur worse) Ultra rich, deep conditioner for dogs with dry, itchy skin). I comb her while wet for Knots and after I dry her (using the detangling cream as needed while blowdrying) I spray her coat with an olive oil spray.

Seems like alot but the washing is the easy part minus the fact Kikyo likes to eat and lick everything...LOL. Longest time is drying her. I comb and brush her daily but find that knots seems to be under her legs where she crawls on the carpet and picks up lint.

If you wait until after giving a bath, and they already have the knots or mats, it is going to be soooo much worse!, the water and soap will make that knot set in even tighter, and your furbaby will not be happy. Always try to get the mats/tangles out before you bathe!!!
