MATS....If you dont want your dog shaved at the groomers.....

[TrevorDoodle]

Before I took a grooming class, I thought I was doing a great job brushing my dog.

Just looking at him you couldn't tell he had mats, even my Les Poochs brush was

going through his fur.  However, it took seeing how a metal comb would not go through his fur

to understand I wasnt doing that great of a job.  I guess my groomer was really awesome

to take the time to get out the mats and not shave him because even though I brushed him before I took him to her, I now know he must have had tons of small mats. 

 

Combs don't lie and if a metal comb gets caught in your dogs fur - you will know where the

mats are.   Below is the type of comb I am talking about.

Poodle lady here....

$140 for a comb? That's crazy. The silver comb is called a greyhound comb. I also recommend that you get a wooden handled poodle comb. Both can be purchased at www.petedge.com Both are under $10.
