Ok. I went to work and found the Vive stuff. (I work at K-Mart, so we usually have that kind of stuff) When I did a price check on it, it said that we were no longer carrying this product and what's on the shelf will not be re-ordered. So......like a good employee, I bought the two bottles on the shelf. Stuff smells great. I went home and gave my cottonhaired furkid a bath, and tried it. It seems to work well. She has a lot of matted hair, so it's going to take a couple of days before I get all of them out. But, for the most part, it did work. I do use Ice on Ice on her and it does work, eventually. She just gets so tired of sitting and being brushed (combed, actually), that I end up giving in and letting her go for a few days. This time, I'm determined to get ALL the mats out and keep her done, daily. Well, ok, maybe not daily, but more than I've been doing.
Yorkie Rose, I agree with ou on the 500 hairs. I think she's got 5,000,000 hairs, so if a few get broken, I don't worry about it. I also cut out "clumps" that are so bad I can't get them out with a comb or a brush. Besides, she has puppies too and either I get the mats out soon, or the puppies will help make more. I shave her belly so they don't get all messed up when they eat.
Thank you everyone for your help. I'm still going to try and get the Cowboy Magic stuff and try that too. I'll let you know how that goes.
Take care,
