Doggy Detanglers?!!

[K27]

Can any of you recommend me a good product to detangle my dogs coat? he has a long coat and I've never owned longer haired breeds of dog before! He's a Yorkie but a giant one at that- think he is probably crossed with a Shih tzu. I groom his coat thoroughly each day but he still managed to get little knots and tangles in his coat - he loves the "bedhead" look!- so I'm wondering whether it would be worth trying a detangler?- has anyone used in particular the Pethead one? or can recommend me something else to use on him?! pherhaps i should take him to a dog groomer!.... thanks!

I'd take him to a groomer to get them to sort him out and ask their advise how to keep on top of his coat. I adopted a standard poodle cross a few years ago and having been used to staffies all my life the coat maintance of the poodle was a shock!!! I went to a professional groomer who advised me the right brushes to use and how to maintain his coat.

Yeah I'm exactly the same- used to Boxer dogs and they have very maintenance free hair do!!

Thanks- I'll go to a groomer with him for some help and info!

I've always used my horse's mane and tail spray on the dogs - Yellow dog doesn't tangle but Bear used to manage to get her feathers knotted in no time Just don't use it indoors in a room with laminate flooring, my sister still hasn't forgiven me for the time she ended up wearing the tea tray....

I'm a cruel mum now though, I don't have time to keep on top of his grooming and he does over heat even in the winter (he went swimming this morning at 6am in the sea!!!!) I have him shaved twice a year and be done with it!! He has a grade 1 all over and although I much prefer his curly coat it's easier having a shaved dog....plus is he doesn't moult!! Mind you with a pack of dogs 1 not moulting doesn't really do much to save on the vacumning!!!

Lol..visual image of your sister falling...I love a good fall!!!

Canter coat shine is great spray onto your hands and the run over his coat. Bathing will make matts tighter so it's important to give him a good brush before a bath. If there is matts your groomer might be able to 'save' his coat rather than shave him off then show you how to maintain it.

Pethead made by Tigi do one called Fur Ball in a spray. Smells of Strawberry yoghurt - yum!

I have a good one, used on a OES will get OH to go check as i'm not at home. I sometimes use it on my hair too if I dont brush it for a while.


Sorry that last bit is shameful.
