I know you should never brush a dry coat...but what is so bad about combing a wet coat??? maybe this is my problem, I use the comb all the time and do it when the coat is wet with spray conditioner on it.

I remember that post too, but I don't remember why not to comb a wet coat?? I use a spray leave in conditioner on my William, but I don't always spray him down to the skin. His coat is long and it does have split ends. I know I should probably wet his coat more before I brush. I use Miracle Coat spray conditioner with Tea Tree Oil. It smells good and makes his coat shiny.

Yep Mandee, that's the "rule" over here too, according to show breeders and yorkie groomers . Never brush a dry coat and never comb a wet coat. I use Miracle Grooming Spray before I brush and then finish off with the comb.

Actually, it is better to comb your furbabies hair. If you comb every day, you will keep the tangles out. I have never heard that you should not brush the hair while it is dry, but if you get your pooch groomed every six weeks or so, any breakage will be clipped off.

ok....so after reading all of these posts...i'm am more confused!! LOL what is the definition of "combing a wet coat" and is the reason behind it that you can stretch the hair and cause breakage?

so you are saying that you spray the hair...brush it...and once it is smoothed and brushed, you comb it for good measure??

oye...I feel like an idiot LOL
