HELP, yorkie is MATTED!!!!!

Think they are just about out.
Can't believe my groomer didn't call. Will negotiate a price next month.

If she's matted just between her shoulders, you might see if something there is iritating her skin. Sounds like she's been scratching a bunch. Zoe has long hair, and when she scratches a spot, she gets a big tangle.

Glad the mats are almost out!!

I wish I could help, but mine have never ever matted. I usually comb and brush them at least once a day, but more like twice. I think I read on YT to use Cowboy Magic for mats and that it is something everyone should have on hand.

I have my best friends Yorkie and she was matted to the skin just horribly. She will fight with everything she has against being brushed or combed. The groomer that my friend took her to knows how to handle her and was able to get all the mats out. Amazing woman if you ask me...LOL...this dog is a tough one...at 2 lbs 14 ozs.

I hope I dematted her today,

Looks like you did a good job Donna. Tricksie looks so shiney and smooth in the picture...very pretty gir!

Her coat looks great. I hope the mats are out.

Max was all matted for the first time in his life. The groomer cut his back short but left the sides long. She took out a ton of mats. I think stress is drying his skin and hair out, because he just doesn't mat. Annie gets those nasty little belly knots and hates being combed. She's a feisty little one.

When I had my Rob my husband would say its world war three when I combed him, but when he went to the groomer he was an angel she did not belive me when I said he was a little horror.

She actually was good, I just worked on her for 30 min. at the time.
Left the detangler comb on the coffee table and she tried to steel it, bet she never wants to see it again.
Got to go shopping, hints from YT, Perfect Coat and Star's Buddy Splash.
Just don't understand, she is 2 and this has never happened before but will be ready next time, if there is one she will get a puppy cut.

The groomer for this dog says she is terribel to work with. She just doesn't let the dog win...lol. I tried again yesterday and she was biting and carrying on like a nutcase. She does love to be loved on though, so you just take the good with the bad. She loves my husband alot, so he has been using the back of the comb on her just to get her more use to it. Don't know if it's working yet or not, time will tell.

She looks adorable.
