Introduction
Grooming your dog can be a difficult and time consuming task. But if you have a matted dog, it can be even harder. They often need special tools and products to help them get through the thick hair on their bodies. I know this because I have a few dogs myself! (shhh don’t tell) In this post we’ll discuss why your dog needs to be groomed regularly and how to do it without hurting him or causing him pain. By the end of this blog post you’ll know exactly what kind of product you need for your pet, which will make grooming easier for both of you!
What are mats?
Mats are clumps of fur that get tangled together. They can be caused by dirt and debris, but also from brushing. Mats make your dog uncomfortable, and even cause infections.
Why does my dog have them?
Dogs with matted hair don’t look good, but they can also have health problems. Matted dog fur is caused by a number of different factors.
- Neglect: Some dogs are neglected by their owners and not groomed regularly. If you’re going to be gone for a long time, make sure someone comes in to check on your dog’s grooming needs.
- Stress: Stress makes your dog more likely to get matted hair than an unstressed dog will be. If you’ve recently switched homes, or if something else stressful has happened in your life recently (like moving), be extra vigilant about your pet’s grooming needs.
- Allergies: There is some evidence that allergies could cause mats as well; if you suspect that this might be the case for your pet then it would be wise to visit a vet before using any product designed to remove them (such as matt remover).
Why won’t my dog let me brush him?
The first thing to understand is that dogs are very sensitive to touch. They don’t like having their fur brushed, and they’re afraid of the sound of the brush. This is because many dogs have not been groomed by humans before, so they don’t know how to behave with a brush. They need some time and patience from you before they become comfortable with it.
My dog hates it when I try to brush him. I don’t blame him!
The first step in getting your dog to accept being brushed is to figure out why he doesn’t like it. Is he uncomfortable with the way the brush feels on his body? Does he dislike the sound of your brushing as much as I do when my wife is at home (she won’t stop)? Is it because you’re using a shampoo or conditioner that smells bad? Or does your dog just not like being touched in general?
Try different brushes and grooming tools until you find one that feels comfortable for both of you. Try some different smells on different parts of the animal, too! You might be surprised by what works best for your furry friend

If your dog is afraid of being brushed, it will hurt him. It’s best to start with a soft brush and work your way up to a firmer brush over time. You should never use the same brush on your dog that you use on yourself.
My dog’s hair gets tangled just by standing in the wind!
Many dog owners don’t brush their dogs regularly. This is a mistake! Brushing your dog can do many things for you both, like:
- It helps bond the two of you more closely. If a man has a beard, he should comb it at least once per day, even if it’s just with his fingers and not with an actual comb (especially if it’s just with his fingers). The same goes for your dog—if he has fur, brush him daily and take care of that fur!
- It keeps his coat healthy. Regular brushing will help prevent matting and keep his coat shiny and smooth.
- It prevents hairballs in dogs who eat too much grass or other greenery. This can be harmful to their health because they ingest so much extra hair while they’re chewing on the grass or whatever else they’re stuffing into their mouths that day (and probably shouldn’t be).
My dog’s fur is so thick, I can’t get through it with anything made for humans!
If you’re finding it hard to get through your dog’s fur with any of the grooming tools most commonly used by humans, there are a few possible explanations. First, ask yourself if you have a matted dog. If so, it might be time to consider using grooming products made specifically for dogs. The straight-to-the-point answer? Use these:
- A brush made for dogs (don’t even think about using one made for humans)
- A comb made for dogs (again: no human combs!)
- A rake made for dogs (and no rakes meant for people will do the trick)
If you want your dog to be comfortable and healthy, you need to buy this product.
If you want your dog to be comfortable and healthy, you need to buy this product. It is a grooming tool that helps remove mats from your canine’s fur without damaging his coat.
There are a few different ways that you can use it:
- You can use the Matted Dog on both long-haired and short-haired dogs. The blades are made of stainless steel, so they won’t rust or dull over time like other products in this category do! Of course, because they’re stainless steel they cost more than other options out there too…but trust me: It’s worth every penny because of how well it performs compared with other products out there right now!
- . This is also great at removing dead skin cells from under the surface layer (or “mating”) matting–which makes it easier for people who aren’t trained professionals themselves (like myself) 🙂
Conclusion
We hope that this blog has helped you understand why your dog needs a matted coat and the importance of brushing him regularly. The best way to start brushing is by starting slow and gently until you’ve built up trust with your dog. If he doesn’t want to be brushed at first, don’t force it. Keep trying every few days until he starts accepting the process more easily. And remember: no matter how tough it seems, eventually all that fur will come out of there!
