With Rosie, I brush her hair at least twice a day. That is one of the reasons I spray the Yorkie Sheen on the brush and not her.
She only goes to a groomer about once every 6 to 8 weeks. Basically, just to trim certain areas and keep her nails cut.
When I bath her, I will use the dryer on her until she is over half dry moving her hair around with my hands. Then use my brush to start smoothing her out. Also a good brush and comb is very important. I prefer the Madan brush and comb. Is your pup's hair long and silky?
Mikki has the shorter hair and it is a lot less maintenance. I really think that makes a major difference as well. Here are a few pictures of how Rosie's coat looks at this point. I think it looks healthy.  Hope that helps. Attachment 361854 Attachment 361855 Attachment 361856 Attachment 361858 |
Hi BabyGirl Rosie,
I use Tropiclean Papaya Plus 2 in 1 Shampoo, I love how it works and it's also all natural. They Also have a SPA line (all natural as well) and I recently purchased the Renew Bath Shampoo and the Nourish Vitamin Conditioner, it also has an anti-static agent in it, oh and I bought the Fresh Facial Scrub (Blueberry/Vanilla) cause I want to use it on her face, I don't want her getting tear stains. I also us the Papaya Mist Cologne which conditions your pets coat and reduces static. I haven't got to use the shampoo on her yet, but can't wait to, I hope it does as well as the Tropiclean. I have a brush just like the Madan brush, but I can't remember the name of it, I use that on her first and then the comb last. Jazzies hair is long and silky, not real long, but it's getting there. Here's a pic of her. Your baby is ADORABLE by the way :-)
