The idea behind using the right type of dematting comb is to make sure the tangles are seamlessly removed without aggravating the skin. If your cat is moving all over the place, how are you going to finish the job? Be diligent and make sure to keep this tool by your side during the process.

This means they are not going to easily break down and will cause considerable discomfort when tugged on. This is going to be applied directly to the matted area before you begin. By doing this, you are going to alleviate some of the tangles and loosen them. If you head into the process with nothing more than a dematting comb, you may tug incorrectly and cause the cat to whine or jump.

By applying a bit of talcum powder, you are going to prepare the area correctly, and it might become slightly easier to manage the situation in front of you. Talcum powder or baby powder work great because they loosen the matted area right away.

This is especially true if you take the time to massage your fingers through the fur. The goal is to work the powder into the matted area, so the comb can slide through without making too much of a fuss!

This will cause them to jump and that is also an uncomfortable experience too. Your main purpose is to take a concentrated amount of powder, apply it to the area, and then rub it in. Do this right away and let the powder sit for at least minutes. Removing the hair is easily accomplished with clippers. You can also use a pair of scissors with blunt tips, but be especially careful in this area. Dogs tend to get nervous and jump around. If your dog does not hold still for you, either use a pair of clippers, have someone hold him, or take him to the groomers.

Even if you do not do all of your own grooming at home, brushing and combing is very important for preventing mats from forming. Groomers will often charge by the hour for removing mats and so your bill can get high very quickly. So the best advice for a matted dog is prevention! But, what do you do if the daily schedule has prevented you from your usual brushing and combing sessions and you end up with a matted dog?

Always brush your dog before you give him a bath. The bath water tends to set the mats in making them even harder to remove. Never brush a dog without first spraying it with a styling product such as a de-tangling spray or a diluted conditioning spray.

Brushing and combing dry hair will tend to split it and you are likely to be fighting against static electricity. Use a pin brush and part the hair with a rat tail comb so that you are brushing small sections at a time.

Begin at the lowest portion of the dog paws and work up the sides and then to the back and head. You are likely to find some mats that were missed with the pin brush. Use a slicker brush for styling and making the coat look sleek and beautiful. Never brush the same area more than 10 strokes at a time. Go onto another section and come back if necessary. Brushing in one area, even if you know that knots are present, only tends to irritate the skin and the dog.

To remove small mats, separate the mat with your fingers, pulling very gently until the mat falls away from the hair. Go back over with the comb. You can do this with the dog on your lap as you watch television. To remove slightly larger mats, use the end of a steel comb and pull gently through the mat as you hold the hair closest to the skin with your fingers. Larger hair mats will require a de-matting comb. These look a little like a comb but have a sharp edge that cuts through a knot.

They are also called de-matting tools, de-matting rakes, or mat splitters. Consult with your groomer when needed. Plus, regular brushing is essential for a healthy, rich, and shiny coat! I grew up with six poodles in the house. So, trust me, I get it!

Demat Your Pooch Before Bath Time When self-grooming your pooch, you may feel inclined to just pop your pup into the tub without combing through his coat first. Use a steel comb to continue locating mats and begin to gently work them out. No one is going to call the puppy protective services and take your dog away! However, it is best to eliminate mats when they do come up, and do your best to prevent them from occurring, for the happiness and safety of your fur-baby!

When long haired dogs shed , the dead hair actually shed into the coat and get tangled in new and existing fur. This is what causes those mats. Spray your pooch with detangeler — many doggie detangelers are designed specifically to break up knotted hair and loosen up clumps, making it easier to comb out those tough matted areas. Detanglers also prevent your dogs hair from splitting or becoming staticky — in fact, many groomers suggest always spraying your dog with a detangler or light conditioner spray before any brushing sessions.

Start your grooming session with a slicker brush and brush your dog lightly all over and identify where various mats are. Start to pick the mat apart by hand a bit, using your fingers to gently pull it apart. Add a dash on the mat and continue to pull apart with fingers.

The next step will be to whip out your dog dematting comb or rake to break up those tough, stubborn mats. These combs have thick, tough edges designed to pull apart knotted fur.
