How to easily and quickly detangle your dog's coat?!

A dog with a beautiful and healthy coat is beautiful! However, sometimes the dog's coat gets tangled, causing it to form knots. Thus, it looks unkempt, while it can also disturb the animal who does not feel comfortable with the accumulated dead hair on it. Especially when the knots grow near the locks they can even affect your dog's gait!

This becomes even more intense in autumn and winter, when the dog's fur gets filled with mud, rubbish, leaves on every walk.

The good news is that you can deal with this very easily. What is the way?

But of course, regular brushing .

Long-haired dogs benefit from being brushed three to five times a week, while short-haired dogs should be brushed two to three times a week. Of course, if you notice that your dog loses a large amount of hair, as happens for example in the summer, then you should comb it more often and definitely choose a good nutritional supplement for the dog's coat !

What is the right comb for my dog?

For daily grooming, we recommend a brush or glove which are ideal tools to remove most of the hair while gently massaging his fur which he will love!

If, however, the knots persist, then you will need a clipper with slightly pointed ends so that you can gently untangle the knots without hurting the dog. This is especially necessary in long-haired breeds such as collies and retrievers.

In even more difficult cases, the special tool-scissors for removing knots will work wonders.

Are there other solutions besides combing?

If the knots are stubborn and numerous, or if your dog hurts when you try to untangle them, then a thorough bath with a special 2-in-1 shampoo for dogs that contains conditioner is just what you need.

After rinsing off the shampoo and drying the hair well with a towel, it's time for the special spray for knots that will soften the hair so that it remains healthy and shiny. You can use it on both wet and dry hair!

However, it is good to remember that in very difficult situations, it is good to trust an experienced pet groomer.

However, if you brush and bathe your pooch regularly, then you won't have to get there and you'll be showing off his gorgeous fur every day!
