Also, on their advice, I got emu oil. I used it for the 1st time on Friday but havn't seen a tangle or mat yet so it seems to be working! It's a little expensive but you don't really need much. Almond oil was suggested as an alernative. I wish I had started using it months ago! Good Luck!

Sounds as if you're doing a great job with the coat! I'll be anxious to hear how you enjoy the brush. Think you will be really pleased. Let us know.

This is our first yorkie so I'm learning.

I purchased the MinkSheen pet shampoo online and really like it. It leaves Gracie so soft, silky and smelling so good!!!!!!!! www.touchofmink.com
It's on the expensive side but I think is worth it.

Thanks, I love the MinkSheen, it leaves Gracie so soft and silky. I think it will really help with tangles and matting.

I had started that thread a couple months ago
My 4 mth old Stormy is now 6 months old today.
Mardelins Advice was So Very Helpful!!!
My baby Stormy doesn't hate brushing anymore & has very few tangles

Bath your baby every 4 days
Use a good Shampoo, Conditioner
Leave the Conditioner in for 10 minutes - wrap them in a warm towel while you are waiting to rinse
1 capful of Almond Oil or Emu Oil with 2 cups warm water - Pour over hair - do not rinse out
Use a detangler sprayed onto your Isnis Brush while BlowDrying Hair
