Today we are going to talk about the importance of grooming your pups so they don’t get matted! First of all matting can be really bad for a variety of reasons. It can stop your dogs ability to regulate temperature, it can create hot spots and wounds, and it can stay damp after baths and being outside so it becomes gross and nasty. Here are a couple things you can do to prevent it! First is brushing! Brush your dog with a slicker brush head to toe, then use a metal comb all over your dog to get closer to the skin. If you can do that without snagging the fur, they’re good to go. Next is bathing… if you bathe your dog at home blow dry them. If you let them air dry, the hair becomes compacted. The last is grooming. Regular grooming is needed for dogs whose hair grows continually. Depending on how matted they are will depend on how much they can leave on. Have a good rest of your Tuesday!🐶🐾.
