Keeping your pup comfortable and mat-free between grooms doesn’t have to be hard. A few minutes of brushing at home makes a huge difference! 🐾✨
Just like in the guide, some areas tangle much faster than others. Focusing on the “trouble spots” first will keep your dog happier and help us give them the best groom possible.
❤️ Red Zone (Top Priority, brush daily if possible)
These areas mat the fastest from friction and movement. Behind the ears, armpits, chest, belly, legs, and around the collar/harness. Mats here can tug on the skin and become uncomfortable quickly, so check these spots every day.
💛 Yellow Zone (Second Priority)
Sides, tail, and top of the head. These spots still tangle but usually not as quickly. Brushing every couple of days keeps them smooth and fluffy.
💚 Green Zone (Lowest Priority)
Back and larger body areas. These are less likely to mat but still benefit from a quick brush through to remove loose hair and dirt.
✨ Pro Tips:
• Brush all the way down to the skin (not just the top layer)
• Use a slicker brush + comb to check your work
• Short, gentle sessions are better than long stressful ones
• Pay extra attention after baths, swimming, or wearing sweaters/harnesses
• If you hit a mat, don’t pull!!! message me and I’m happy to help!
Regular brushing keeps your dog comfy, reduces shedding, and helps us avoid shaving due to matting. Your home care truly makes all the difference between grooms 💕
