Question
My 1 yr old Pomeranian long hair has this major static hair which is going every which way and zaps everything and everyone he comes in contact with. Is their something I can put on his coat without making it oily to help this?

Answer
Diane,
 I can definitely relate to his problem...lol. Now that
winter has hit static is in the air.
 Typical of a Pomeranian he has dry hair. You can aide this by buying a leave in conditioner. His fur will probably
soak it right up the first couple of applications, but don't worry that is normal.
 Just follow the directions of the product you choose.
In between applications you can spritz him lightly with
plain room temp water. You don't have to drench him.
A couple of squirts will do, then with your hands as if
you were petting him, spread the moisture all over him.
This will get rid of any static charge build up and also
replenish the moisture in his fur.
 I hope I have been able to help, Good luck and God Bless !
