Despite regular brushing his fur around the upper body and arms has become a bit matted and frizzy in places. How can I resolve this?

Sometimes a spray or two of water with a small portion of dish soap can help with this situation ! hope this helps !

Hi David. I would say yes to a Pom, though you may have trouble getting to his undercoat. The bristles are not super long, so I would suggest a rake for that part, but this brush works great on topcoats and longhaired cats. Either way, you'll likely find it useful :)

Take your thumb and press it firmly on the bottom of each row of "nubs" and push it to the top of each row. The fur will accumulate at the end of each row. Remove and dispose.

my pup has a white coat and it seems that it dulls her fur if not a good rinse. I use the shower it seems to do a much better job....

I used a "rat-tail" comb to clean the hair out; product build-up is another story. I tried using a toothbrush, but the bristles weren't stiff enough to get everything. Got the worst of it cleaned up, and continue to use it, just cleaning it occasionally. (rubbing alcohol would probably work okay).

I washed mine after he was baddly soiled. I washed him by hand in Woolite, and rolled him in a towel to absorb most of the excess moisture. Sat him infront of a window facing the sun and let him dry out.

The hair should be slightly damp. And it does need to be worked for a bit. If its dry it sticks and clumps.

HaHaHa! So funny. When I leash up Mowgli, he lays down. Period. End of story. I suppose I could drag him around, remembering to turn him over so he doesn't lose all the fur on one side. I'm still working on it...the solution will probably involve food, probably tuna. The harness product is ok fine...cat psychology is the problem. Good luck.

Try rinsing your dog with diluted apple cider vinegar after you bathe him. Vinegar should help with grease.

Be very gentle and limit grooming to a few minutes a day until you build her confidence. Best wishes. Thank you for being a rescue pet parent.

My dog is 1 yr old. Breed is an Aussiedoodle which has long fur. She has had no issue. If your dog is short hair it might be uncomfortable. I usually use warm water which might soften the bristles. A couple things to be sure and do is don't squeeze the paw as you plunge and don't force the paw down mashing it on the bottom of the container. This is easy to do. I hold the paw stationary and go up and down with ten paw plunger.

If he will let you spray it on him and rub it in a bit, it does seem to help loosen them. It won't get rid of them completely, but it does seem to prevent the tangles from getting worse as the fur grows out, so in theory after a while the mats could just be pulled right off.

Our Tablor's fur fell out around the collar. At first, I thought hair was getting separated around the collar but after 2 weeks, a inch wide band where the collar laid is bare! The skin looks ok. It is Really to bad as it was helping with his behavior.

For cleaning, this is what I did (and it worked!):Removed the head, ran warm water over it until completely wet, spread about a tablespoon of dish detergent all over the head, worked the soap throughout the head, rinsed the head THOROUGHLY, shook it outside to A) remove the water and B)get the "fluff" back, brought it back inside and propped it up to completely dry. Next day, it was all clean and fluffy. :-)

If the hair around the neck is real thick you may have a problem. Try removing a small area of hair near the throat.

Mine had a lot of strays and was rather unruly. I went to only rinsing it every day and only used a shampoo one every few days to keep the natural oils in it. Regular brushing and beard balm helped to keep everything in place plus my wife loves the smell of it. It is a little pricey but remember that it is all natural with no harsh chemicals. Totally worth it.
