Shih Tzu Forum:
what grooming device?

hi, i am new here. we own 2 shih tzu's. one is golden and is almost 9 months old. we are waiting for our darling new white and golden to come home at the age of 10 weeks. i have trouble keeping holly tangle and matt free. i comb every day but she gets those mats right under her legs and breast. she hates wire brushes and other then that nothing really cuts through the coat. she will tolerate a comb, but it is a human comb i use right now. i don't want to shave her, want her to grow that beautiful shih tzu coat. but.......i need to get ahead of the tangles. also is there a shampoo or other products that help keep her coat from matting so badly? thanks in advance.

talk to your Vet, the shampoos you buy in pet stores are mostly alcohol, I would recommend Hydra Pearls that as far as I know only sold in Vet clinics.
