  1. Grooming
    I have been combing, bathing and grooming our Ivy since bringing her home at 8 weeks. She has done well, and has had very few mats that have been easily removed with gentle use of a dematting comb. I read early on that one shouldn’t use a round tipped pinned brush or a slicker brush with...

    Hi all! Bentley appears to be starting to lose his puppy coat, as he is matting like crazy all of a sudden. It seems like the minute we finish brushing him out, he has 5 more mats appear. He's only 8 months old - would this be the time for that? We will likely get him groomed into a short...

  6. Grooming
    Over the course of the past couple of weeks I've noticed more and more mats all over little Rosie Tomato. At first I thought they were around her neck & wherever her halter touches. Now I realize that both her ears are basically all mats! I read the grooming threads & I will invest in the CC...

    Dexter has worn his light-weight sweater for the last two days at the dog park and last night was the night I found lots.........of tangles and small mats. I did not check his hair the first night for mats. Well....the sweater stays off today! Mind you, Dexter does not run and play, and he...
