Help!!! I feel like such a bad Momma :( I feel terrible! I try to brush my Bella everyday as I know I should...however with my 1 year old and 3 year old human babies...I will admit there are some days when she doesn't get brushed. She has a few mats now and I feel terrible about it. Is there any way to get the mats out without having to cut her hair? I've used the detangling spray...but bless her heart I can't get her to sit still long enough to try to get the mats out :( |
Oh that puppy hair!!! Yorkie puppy hair can be quite difficult for some. I had to get Max groomed at 4 months b/c of matting. Now that his big boy hair is coming in, it is MUCH easier to manage. Do you have a wood pin brush or fine tooth metal comb? There are a few things you might need to better manage Yorkie hair if you don't already have them. 1) Wood pin brush. Check with Maximo, a fellow YTer, she sells great ones for cheap 2) Good grooming comb for getting mats out. Go with a fine tooth metal comb 3) Good shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner (I have yorkie splash and shine) |
You can take a comB and work through the matts or a slicker Brush |
This is our pre bath ritual... I put a towel on the kitchen table and place the pup on it. I use mink oil and lightly work it through all the hair. I massage the skin and try really hard to make it pleasant. I try to make this a relaxing good experience...but yes, sometimes there are mats that get in the way. I put a lot of mink oil on the mat and soften it up. I use the pointy end if a metal rat tail comb to work on the mat slowly and just a little at a time. If it is a really tough mat I will cut it out...not worth stressing them out too much. I don't have a wood pin brush, but I want to try one! I currently use the Madan brushes and combs from Topline Pet (member here that offers a YT discount.) Good luck. I haven't always done this pre oil treatment. Bath and brushing used to make them stressed. They are so much more relaxed now than they used to be. |
