What Can I Do About My Dog\u2019s Matted Coat?<\/strong>
\nRegular grooming with a brush or comb helps keep your dog\u2019s coat in good condition by removing dander and dirt, spreading natural body oils throughout the hair coat, keeping the skin clean, and preventing tangles and mats.<\/p>\n

Dogs with smooth, short coats (like that of a Boxer, Boston Terrier, or Basset Hound) typically only need brushing once a week. Dogs with short, dense fur prone to matting, like Retrievers and Labradors, need weekly brushing with a slicker brush (a brush with soft pads and angled flexible pins) to remove tangles and a bristle brush to catch dead hair. Long-haired pooches (Yorkies, Collies, Afghan Hounds, etc.) require daily<\/em> attention with both a slicker brush and a bristle brush to keep hair coats clean, smooth, and mat free.<\/p>\n

Besides the overall look of your dog, there are a number of health reasons why you should regularly brush your dog\u2019s coat so that mats don\u2019t occur.<\/p>\n
