🚨 WINTER COAT CARE 🚨
Coming up to these cold winter months, our furbabies are more prone to knots and matting from the rain and muddy walkies! Matting is so uncomfortable for dogs and can lead to skin sores/irritation.
Coat care isn’t a 2-hour fix at the salon; unfortunately, sometimes the only fix is to shave it all off and start again.
To maintain a healthy coat, it requires some at-home pampering too - so here are our top tips to help prevent those pesky knots and mats:
🐶 Brush your dog's coat regularly.
🐶 Schedule grooming appointments every 6–8 weeks.
🐶 Remove small tangles (wet tangles become tighter, which turn into mats).
🐶 Don’t rub your furbaby dry once they’ve had a wash or been out in the rain; pat them dry. Rubbing causes friction and knots.
🐶 Pay extra attention to behind the ears, armpits, back legs, and their favorite spot to be scratched.
🐶 Brush your dog after wearing their festive jumpers or winter coats.
🐶 Make your groomer aware of any matting/knot concerns when booking the appointment.
🐶 Maintain a healthy diet.
