There are a couple different product that you can order online. I really like Pet Silk check it out. They have a web site. Makes the coat nice and silky, smells good, and makes combing a breeze.
Use a slicker brush first to help get mats out,before bathing. GOOD LUCK!

Anyoneee???

If she is 6 months then more than likely her adult coat has came in and it is cottony. One thing I found that helps is to brush the hair through when you have the conditioner on during baths. Cowboy Magic is great on matts too

I use Missing Link food a supplement that has really improvd the quality of Cali's coat. With good bath products and the ML she has a much silkier and shinier coat.

Shylah's coat has gotten silkier as she has grown. She is 6 months also. I use the Chris Christianson products. They work great!! I use a slicker brush on her too and I have to brush her no less then 3 times a week. I use a shampoo, conditioner and a spray conditioner too. I dry her a little bit before I brush her. It is easier that way.
