What do you use for your Cotton coats?

[heartmyyorkie]

Pita's coat get puffier by the day, I let her air dry last night and she looks like a ragamuffin homeless poodle . What are some good shampoo/conditioners to use for her type of coat. I have tried a bunch and not really happy with any of them, so any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks

PS- I see so many pups without the top knot and their hair is never in their faces...how do you guys keep those pesky 'bangs' outta your babies eyes??

I share your pain. My Sophie has the dreaded cotteny coat!! I keep her pretty well shaved on her back and sides leaving a "skirt" and her legs. I have just ordered some new shampoo and will let you know how it works out.

Zhoie is a cotton coated girlie butt too and believe me, I have tried the whole gamit of popular shampoos.

I recently stopped into a pet spa and was turned onto Comfy Dog by happytails and I absolutely love the effect it has on her coat. Check out their website, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Good Luck in your search

I ordered this the other day Tena and I can't wait to get it. Bogie is pure cotton down and his legs mat so bad. I can't believe I tortured him with that long floor length hair for almost 2 years.

I got the Comfy Dog Oatmeal, it feels wonderful and silky.

I also looked on their website and order a kit that had the oatmeal shampoo, spray and furbutter in it. Oh, with this shampoo, it's all natural and you don't need a conditioner. She's not had a tangle in her legs hairs yet, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh my goodness, I am sold. I brush and brush Pita and poor thing hates it, but she gets mats so quickly on the sides of her belly. That is amazing that it does this without conditioner because I use more conditioner than shampoo most times, lol! Thanks A MILLION!!!!!

The furbutter has shea in it. That sounds good.

Is there any hope of growing out a cotton coat? I would love a little length on Pita but can't take torturing her with the brushing out of the mats...poor baby HATES it!

I did a soak on her the bath prior to her last with the furbutter and it was wonderful. I'm not sure what is working for us, but keeping fingers crossed it does. Glad to hear shea is a good thing.

The key is to keep up on it... do some light grooming once a week. If you let it go too long that is where you run into problems and it takes much longer to rid the tangles and matts from the under coat.

I too keep my baby girl (cotton coat) shaved on her top, neck, butt, tail and sides. I keep it that way do to the texture and the havock that I had to go thru in order to keep her groomed. It was hard on both of us.

And yes it is possible to grow out the sides. My Ruby;s sides are quit long.
