What is the best way to keep my dog Xena's (Shih tzu/Bichon) hair from knotting? I brush her, but she still gets knots which I'm sure are not comfortable for her. There has to be an easier way than constantly brushing. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

There really isn't much else you can do besides getting it professionally groomed. Usually with longer haired dogs you have to.
I had a curly-haired mutt with this problem years ago. At first I used the commercial No More Tangles spray, and it worked OK. Then I tried a home remedy that works GREAT. After bathing your dog, spray him/her with a solution of 1T liquid fabric softner to 2 cups water, and brush through.
