Four Paws Magic Coat Professional Series Instant Mat & Tangle Remover Rake & Comb

If you find mats, use the Magic Coat? Instant Mat & Tangle Remover to eliminate them. For a long-coated breed, you are going to have to take a bit more time. In a worst-case scenario, use scissors. Isolate the mat and slide one blade through the bottom of the mat and cut upward in a vertical motion (not horizontal to the skin). Then brush out the remainder of the mat. Removing a mat from a dog??s skin is an uncomfortable experience for him even in the best of circumstances. Speak gently to him and offer him treat rewards for remaining calm. If your dog??s hair has matted right down to the skin, you may have to see a professional groomer to have the coat shaved. Because a dog??s skin is thin and tears easily, this is not something most people should attempt on their own.
