Strange question I'm sure, but really looking for a solution that will help my girl Simone with her fur matting.
Simone is approx 16 or more yrs old and has CKD, hyperthyroidism and arthritis (which she is not on any meds for/arthritis)
So she is not grooming as she once did, I never had issues with her fur until the past year or two, especially on her hind hip area, she is matting, she loves to be combed/brushed as long as I don't go 'there'!
So maybe 8 months back I took her and had to have her underside shaved and her hips, yes she looked funny but she was clean of mats.
Well here we are again, although her underside fur has no mats now, only her hip area again, but I can feel her fur on her back doesn't seem clean, so I want to bathe her as I think clean fur won't mat as easily, but thought about using my pantene conditioner on her, not on her skin as I'm afraid it will make her get dirty/oily faster, but more on the ends of her fur.
What do you guys think?
This is my Simone, maybe 2 years ago.
As you can see, LOTS of fur/undercoat.
