i always cut out milu's mats (with scissors) before taking her to the groomer. because otherwise they always try to comb it out and they pull on her hair so hard! they used to make milu yelp when they are combing out the mats, i always stop them and say i don't want them to comb it out, please cut it with scissors. |

I used to use a tiny bit on dry hair too for shine and when brushing - but I'm more careful about leave-in's because they'll attract dirt over time on the hair - but Cowboy Magic is a wonderful detangler - smells awesome too |

I don't like leave ins.. makes their hair look dirty |

I swear by it and tried many others when they were younger - this one is the best IMO.... |
Buy a De-matting comb. Use it like a rake while holding the hair close to the skin so it doesnt pull. Work from the bottom to closer to the skin. I demat mine about every other week. Requires alot of patience on both parts but it gets easier and you dont have to shave. If you run into a thick mat...use some sharp scissors, open and stick the point thru the matting and slice thru it to break it up. Hope any of this helps |

does that stuff work for burrs in the hair too? when derby was a puppy, we just shaved him because of this reason. NOw I find that we tend to go the shave route everytime he has stuff stuck in it- which is very often. he loves to play outside and i don't know how he does it, but i can never get those burrs out of his hair!! a few yes, but not when he's covered in it... |
Get yourself one of these brushes. It great for mats it gets them out without any tugging on the dogs hair, its meant for use on people but it really works great. Alfie hates getting brushed and even he does not mind this at all.I think you can get them on e-bay but here is a ink to thier main web site.Tangle Teezer - Dramatically reduce hair breakage, splitting, and damage due to mistreatment of your hair |
[QUOTE=kapena;3071134]I didn't realize when I first got him ( 3 weeks ago) that I needed to brush him regularly and once I figured that out his mats are so bad that he bits the brush when I try and basically HATES I tried 3 different types of brushes hoping one would work better but he doesn't like any of them. Thanks for all the answers good to know i'm not alone. Do you think he's too young to get shaved?[/QUOTTY I gave Rio treats every time I pulled the brush out when she was a young pup. She still gets treats every time I brush her (which is daily) so she associates treats with her brush and comes running TOWARD me! |

However, I find it strange that, even though they are based in Canada, they charge sales tax based on the rates in the US state that you live in. Within the US, you don't have to pay sales tax if you are buying from a state other than the one in which you live, so why would you have to if buying from Canada? |
