I wasn't expecting anything to replace brushing, just hoping to find something to make it easier without flaring up allergies. Can you recommend a brushout spray that is free of perfume? I think the reason she puts it off is because it's so difficult. She says she's taking them in once every 3 months (which I think is too long especially since she's not maintaining them very well in between). This is one of those situations where my stepdad let his son pick the dogs and they are "his dogs" and Mom has to follow all the rules laid out by stepdad who knows nothing about dogs and all the care ends up falling to her from day one (but she's not allowed to make decisions about anything). I was just hoping to find ways to make it easier for her. To be perfectly honest, they look gross and I don't like touching them because the wiry fur combined with the tangles and stains in their fur gives me the heeby jeebies. If they were MY DOGS, I'd buy all the necessary tools and learn to groom them myself so I could keep them well-maintained all the time. I guess I'm looking for a solution somewhere in between for Mom.
I will suggest the short cut all over to her. It's not like they're show dogs or anything. They're pets and they'd probably get a lot more love if they weren't so gross all the time
