Can't keep the mats out - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LOL.. I use it on my hair too and wouldn't trade it for any other expensive conditioner.

People just can't believe it's so cheap and works so well. I see it all the time at Target for sale for 3 for $9

if you actually leave it on the full 3 minutes it works even better!!!!!

Okay, that's it! I have to try it! How often do y'all use it? Every bath or just occasionally?

Bella is almost two and I use Ice on Ice. It's reasonably priced because you mix it with water. But whatever you use try to seperate the big nots with you hand first. Until I am satisfied that I have enough of it out with my fingers then I use the comb. HTH

I use the Cowboy Magic concentrated detangler and shine (not the shampoo or conditioner). I have never had a matt it didn't dissolve. They have a website with a store locator (usually farm and horse supply).

www.cowboymagic.com

You can also purchase it at www.tobysnaturalpets.com and also check out the life for teeth spray while you're there - it works instantly (and lasts) for bad breath and removes tarter.

I deal with matts as well, and she hates to be combed. I do it when she is tired and sitting on my lap in the evening. A little olive oil works real good to.

I was suffering the same fate with my boy as is coat is sorta in the middle of cottony and silky. His is basically a puppy coat that is long and tangles like mad. Well, I have been using all the deep conditioning stuff as well...CC, Petsilk, Pantene, you name it. I even tried my Alterna Cavier shampoo and conditioner on him. I have every kind of brush known to man I think and nothing helped. So, I took him to my old groomer last Saturday. It was the first time she has seen him as the trip is over an hour and half one way, but sooo worth it. She said I was doing it all wrong. She aked if I wanted a soft coat or one that didn't mat, and I obviously went with the mat-free one, thinking that would be a miracle!! Today, it has been 5 days since the grooming and only a few tiny mats under the armpits and I haven't brushed him all week. She used Les Poochs Moisturizing shampoo and their conditioner on him and no sprays afterward. I am convinced. Now, what do I do with all this PetSilk stuff I have lying around???

I use it every bath . It's not really a thing to get mats out(or maybe it is , I haven't tried) but something that helps to make the hair silkier and more shiney and make it mat less. Just shampoo with a good shampoo(I have to say I like regular pantene) and then use the Aussie 3 minute miracle DEEEP for 3 minutes and rinse out with warm water. I also always let air dry and comb out with a fine comb

I wanted to tell you that at 7 months - her coat is still going thru changes - both my girls had matting problems at that age ....after about 1 year old - that will subside somewhat.

Zoiesmom11 · 08-10-2006, 06:18 AM

So, exactly what were you doing wrong according to her? I'd love to know how to approach the situation, although the Aussie 3 minute mirace DEEP does both for me. I might look into the stuff she recommended, but I still have Pet Silk to use and another brand or two I'm interested in too. Too many to choose from! Thanks for your info!

YorkieGuru · 08-12-2006, 10:03 AM

I also use the detangler spray if there is a really stubborn mat. But I know on some occasions I have spent a whole evening grooming my 4 month old.

what are you using from petsilk? i was just looking at that myself ...

carolina yorkie · 08-15-2006, 06:57 AM

I have the moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, the leave in spray conditioner, the coat oil, and the rinse-free shampoo. Anyone interested?? I think I'm gonna sell it, at least some of it.

Zoiesmom11 · 08-15-2006, 08:41 AM

I use the Clean Scent shampoo and the Rainforest Conditioner. I also use the silk serum.

Ok, I just went in and bought both the cowboy magic and the mouth spray. I am willing to try most anything. Both my cotton and silky dogs get mats. My little Angel with the silky gets them beneath her throat from the harness I use in the car that attaches to her car seat. That's the only time she has it on but it seems to make some nasty mats. I am hopeful this will work.

I just bought some Cowboy Magic from a Horse Tack Shop and tried it with Jake. He has a very cottony coat and absolutely hates being combed. I have also tried the Ice on Ice, but I like the Cowboy Magic better. I'm worried about what kind of residue it may leave on his skin. Has anyone had any reaction problems with this product?
