It could be the residue from the products. I would bathe them. You don't know how many times I've tried a product somebody swears by on my dog and had to turn around and put him back in the tub because his coat was sort of gummy. I'd use a clarifying shampoo if you have one handy (Pantene or Tresame should be fine, rinse well and condition). Don't forget to shampoo twice!
However, if you are not use to them being fluff dried (hand dried), it does make the coat a whole lot fluffier if it is a puppy trim, especially if you fluff with a slicker or comb. I purposefully do this with bichons or poodles to make sure they get an even trim. It shouldn't make them feel really cottony, though.
Every product works differently on every coat.

Jackie, is there one of these that is particularly good on cottony coats? The reason I ask is that today both of my babies were professionally groomed. I had her use the Bless the Beasts De-Tangling Shampoo and their conditioner, too. I paid extra for them to be hand dried rather than drying in the cage. Well, both came out extremely fluffy and puffy. Kallie's hair has always been what I thought was silky. It never seemed cottony to me at all but today she is a big cotton ball. And Catcher, who has very, very thick hair that is somewhat cottony looks like a lion all over... way too fluffy.Originally posted by Kallie/Catcher's Mom+Jan 21 2005, 09:29 PM--><!--QuoteBegin-JMM@Jan 21 2005, 07:27 PM

So, I guess it is the fault of the shampoo and/or conditioner? I need something to control their hair. After they came home I put the Liquid Silk on them and that helped a little bit.......
Here's a photo of Fluffy Catcher!

For Bless the beast you have to really rince it. The shampoo is havier then others. you do not need as much to lather up. Make sure you really rince it.. In addition to limit the fluffiness you the pin brush and blow dry like you would your hair.
if you use your finger they will be fluffly... it goes down after a day or so.

If they are in puppy cuts, the slicker is what I use, too. I use a very soft one.

Doesn't the slicker brush just hurt? I have one and tried it on my arm (very gently, mind you) and let me tell you I wouldn't want that thing run over my body! OUCH! I will just stick to the pin brush; Toby wears sweaters anyway, so there is no need to fluff his hair.![]()
