| At the dog show this past week-end a lady showing a little Ch. Yorkies gave me some great infor on grooming and all. One thing she said to get mats out was to use the cowboy magic detangler shine and then with a knitting needle, work the knot out loosely then brush out with a slicker brush. To keep the knots from getting that bad, you will need to brush and comb the dog once or twice a day, and make sure you use a good conditioner (She uses Matrix 2 Sleek.Look Smoothing System conditioner) but before you do brush, mist the coat (wet or dry coat) with Crown Royal. Also make sure you use a good conditioner. |

Once you get a section mat free brush it briefly every day to keep it that way, then the next bath do another little section. Good luck!

| I use Buddy Splash from Cloud Star to soften the matts and help with detangling. It's filled with natural herbs & oils - so I don't know if this is what makes such a big difference in getting the brush or comb through the matts. All I can say is it works! And I wish I had found it sooner - because 2 years ago Bubba was matted so bad, I ended up cutting so much of his undercoat out and his hair has never grown back as beautiful as it was before His coat is still beautiful, just not as thick. yorkiesmiles |

| Grooming nightmare I am right there with you on this one. My little girl is 14 weeks old and hates to be combed, brushed etc. She is getting mats and I am clueless. I have used J&J detangler as per some other Yorkie Forum participants but no luck. I have used scissors to clip through the mats to loosen the hair but still not working. At 14 weeks old will her hair change soon? Will the mats grow out as her new hair comes in? I welcome any advice from veteran Yorkie owners. She is my first, I have always had labs. And how long does this nipping thing last? |

| My lucy had really bad mats like that too and I took her to the groomers' and they just practically shaved her, well not really but her hair is really short, no more puppy hair but it needed to be done, because I want her to enjoy being groomed not afraid of it like my dog Max so i'm sad her puppy coat is gone but it will grow back eventually, i'm sure.

Glad to see it works for you too! Cloud Star doesn't do much in promoting how good a detangler it is. I just recommend this to someone else on another thread a week or so ago and they were going to order it. I hope they have great results too. | |

| I buy at my vet's office, but you can go to www.cloudstar.com to order it. I just checked it's $5.95 online - which is cheaper than my vet! But I didn't check shipping cost. That's for 4 oz - which I find lasts a long time, because you just need a squirt on each mat usually. I spray the hair in one area and then brush. Then when I see another mat, spray in that area. The best part of the Buddy Splash it is made with natural herbs & oils. And it is great between baths because it smells so good and makes the coat look great. I also use the Cloud Star shampoo - haven't tried the conditioner yet. Also the dogs love their natural biscuits & treats yorkiesmiles |

| I use B&B conditioner on cody. It's for (how to say this politically correct) black peoples curly hair (sorry if I offend). I use it when I bathe him and when he gets matts i use mink oil spray.
