Thread: Grooming?

Hello!
We have 2 boys that we adopted - they were 5 & 6 when we had them and don't think they'd been groomed very often at all. Bob's coat was ok and he likes being groomed, but Bass's coat was awful, his fur was matted - lugs everywhere! He went to the vets twice in the space of 3 months to be de-matted and now we groom him every other day. He hates it, but we find little and often with some treats works best! And he's a much happier boy - I think the lugs pull their skin and must be very uncomfortable.

We use a mix of dog brushes - the ones with wires that are spread out, combs, kids safety scissors (as these are small and blunt) and the Furminator.
One tip I would suggest is putting a comb between their skin and knot and cut through the knot, this way their skin is safe and you can tease the knot out if most of it has been cut away.

Hope that helps!
