3.Give your dog a treat, even if he allows you to work on his teeth for only a few seconds.Slide15Slide16
Removing Mats
Matted dog hair can be painful so brush regularly.
Badly matted fur should always be remedied by a professional dog groomer.
If the mat isn't too bad, use a
comb to slowly work the
mat free. Work from the outside of the mat (wherethe hair isn't tangled)and slowly untangle the hair without pulling.Slide17
Removing Mats
If the mat won't come out with a comb, try cutting through the mat with a mat rake. Be careful when using this tool because it has sharp tines on it —
you want to alleviate
your dog's pain from
mats, not put her in
worse pain by cutting or scratching her with the rake.If the mat is close to the skin you should ALWAYS ask a teacher for helpSlide18
