Make sure you are finishing with a fine tooth comb to ensure no little tangles are lurking around. Small tangles missed by a brush lead to larger tangles. |
Thanks for responding!
I may try conditioner. I bathe Teddy twice a week at a minimum. I do worry about bathing him too much but his cottony fur picks up everything including smells so I don't see a way around bathing him.
I tend to use a comb more than a brush because Teddy hates the brush for some reason! He is getting better but I don't see the point of making him tolerant of the brush when it doesn't do the same job as the comb.
I am going to shave parts of him off again tonight. He has a vet apt tomorrow and I hope they don't mention the various light patches of fur...ha.
