 My Yorkies mustache is crinkly and stuck together
Hi Guys....I'm really struggling with Alias my 18 mth old Yorkie hair. It's pretty long, never been cut. When I bathe him I use a good shampoo and make my own conditioner from coconut oil that I reduce to liquid and then to that I squeeze in human very creamy coconut milk conditioner. I mix them together and slap it on him. I leave it on for awhile ...as long as he'll let me. I rinse him under the tap in the kitchen sink. I rinse and rinse.....So when he drys he looks ok. The ends of his coat looks a bit greasy and stringy like I never bathed him. Next day he looks greasy and homeless. His mustache is crunchy and stuck together. I wash his stash with a washcloth and warm water 2 x a day. The I comb the stash through. Within a couple of hours his stash is all nasty again. I'm super frustrated because i know he could have a gorgeous coat if I could figure out what I'm doing wrong. He eats Hill's Ideal Balance ( grain free)...he hates it so I've started mixing it with Merrick's wet food. Enough to flavour. I haven't switched to filtered water yet. I'm stuck guys.....Vic |
