Recommendations for mats from the professionals!

@ront76 Brush your dog daily, not weekly. Pay attention to the problem areas and use a greyhound comb to verify nothing is catching.

If you wish to continue with "weekly" brushing just get the dog cut short. It will not do enough to save the coat.

@sheiriam Thank you

@ront76 The stuff for dogs is a tried and true classic
Detangler. I have all my clients mist their dogs with it when they brush at home. Everyone who actually listens never has a single mat

@clare5890 Gentle reminder this is a silicone product and over-use can possible make a pet unwell.

@paul12345 I’m sorry but that is simply a false statement. Silicones are literally in everything, over use can cause build up in the coat requiring a clairifying shampoo. But to say it can make a pet unwell is just false information. The stuff is labeled as a non toxic and hypoallergenic product for the record. I’ve used it for many many years with out so much as even ONE bad reaction. All the shampoos and perfumes chuck full of strong artificial scents is another story.
