| Ice on Ice?? Parker gets brushed daily (I think I have missed a few days here and there) His puppy coat seems to be what they call cottony but I can kinda tell with his new fur coming it it might be a bit more on the silky side. Anyways to my question I am currently using Crazy Pet ~ Baby Dog Grooming Spray its supposed to detangle and add shine I don't feel its doing that at all. With a squirming pup those hard to reach places are starting to mat I am trying so very hard to keep him mat free but today I found a few pretty bad ones, and it really bums me out! I read up on Ice on Ice is a great detangler and it works wonders, has anyone used it? Have any suggestions on good brushes or mat brushes, I don't mind spending money on good quality stuff for Parker. Money doesn't really matter when it comes to him . (I added a pic for fun...hehe, and maybe you guys can tell by his coat ) |

| I use Ice on Ice and I love it. I spray that on and I use a comb instead of a brush and it gets the mats out good, it actually keep them from getting mats. I never had any luck with brushes but the combs work best. good luck...he is so adorable. |

| OMG he is SO cute! I have been using Ice on Ice for over a year. I use it like genie does, also with a brush as well as a comb. Also, if i run out of conditioner, I use it after baths all over then blowdry. I think Chris Christensen products are fantastic!

For the Chris Christensen products I was reading his website and I was very impressed myself. But you know these days online anyone can make anything sound good so thats why I bring it to my YT family. Do you happen to use any of his other products? | |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | he is very very cute!!! my yorkie has a cotton coat. i use a slicker brush on her to help keep the mats out. in those hard to reach places like armpits and belly i keep them shaved down. you can't notice it because its hidden by all the other hair.

| If you are having a problem with mats, you probably aren't getting all the way down to his skin. After you brush him, go through his coat with a comb to make sure you got all the mats out. I love the Chris Christensen Buttercombs. I've got the CC Gold series brush and Fusion brush. I was very disappointed with the Fusion brush, especially for the price. I love my Gold brush, but the gold wears off and again, for that price, it shouldn't. I've just ordered a Madan pin brush so I'll let you know how I like it. I guess they are mainly sold at shows, but they've gotten rave reviews on the Maltese forum I belong to. They are much cheaper, too, under $20. |

| Slicker brush, I'll look that one up, as for shaving him, I keep his belly trimmed (here at home) But has yet to go to a groomer. I am terrified to take him Plus he is only 4 months, but I will keep that in mind when I do take him, or start grooming him here. Thanks a bunch!! |

| Well after all the horror stories and all the problems I hear I really have no desire. Plus if I make him look silly, I can laugh about it and get over it. If someone else does it then I'll be pee'd off...haha. So I have been looking into getting trimmers and just doing it myself. I know this puppy hair is going to need to be trimmed soon because I see his adult fur coming though and its a bit different from the puppy hair. Okay I am rambling, I do that a lot...lol. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i groom morgan myself. i got tired of paying $50 a pop for a hair cut. i pay that for myself and i have longer hair and it only takes 1/2 hour, instead of a 4lb dog staying in a cage for 4 hours and less hair being cut. if you get your own clippers and grooming tools it pays for itself within 3 uses.
