Wanted to get some idea of how everyone here grooms their Cavaliers.
What sort of shampoo do you use? Do you use a conditioner? How often do you brush your dogs?
I've been using Earthbath shampoo, but I'm going to switch to Chris Christensen soon--I hate that Earthbath's smell doesn't last more than 2 days. As Lyra's fur has grown longer now, the fur on her neck has become a curly mess! It picks up dirt more easily so I've been wondering if there is some sort of secret to making the fur straighter? (Today I experimented with using conditioner on her coat, and then blowing her neck fur straight down... but it's still kind of curly)
Also, her ears are longer now, but they pick up quite a bit of dirt when she sniffs on the ground, so I've been finding some mats in there. Should I use conditioner on her ears as well? Will this help at all?
I have been using a pin brush and a greyhound comb for day to day brushing, but was recently told off by a friend who said that using a greyhound comb will make the fur brittle and break off? Is this true?
