I was suffering the same fate with my boy as is coat is sorta in the middle of cottony and silky. His is basically a puppy coat that is long and tangles like mad. Well, I have been using all the deep conditioning stuff as well...CC, Petsilk, Pantene, you name it. I even tried my Alterna Cavier shampoo and conditioner on him. I have every kind of brush known to man I think and nothing helped. So, I took him to my old groomer last Saturday. It was the first time she has seen him as the trip is over an hour and half one way, but sooo worth it. She said I was doing it all wrong. She aked if I wanted a soft coat or one that didn't mat, and I obviously went with the mat-free one, thinking that would be a miracle!! Today, it has been 5 days since the grooming and only a few tiny mats under the armpits and I haven't brushed him all week. She used Les Poochs Moisturizing shampoo and their conditioner on him and no sprays afterward. I am convinced. Now, what do I do with all this PetSilk stuff I have lying around???
