When dogs shed, they can cover furniture, carpet, and clothing with hair. In addition, painful mats can develop if you don’t properly groom your dog. What is the best brush to get at a dog’s undercoat?

Dogs with a fluffy bottom coat need a little extra care. Although their extra coat makes them fluffy and soft, the fine hairs in the undercoat often get trapped, causing mats. The best brush to use is a fine toothed, sturdy metal comb.

These combs don’t cover a large surface area, but they do a great job of getting down near the skin. It’s a good idea to brush your dog often if you are using one of these combs since it takes a bit longer.

If your dog has matting or you simply prefer to have a professional groom your dog, call your vet Walnut for recommendations.
