If you have a mat....use the side of a small slicker brush to work it out....slowly, do not force it...just gently work.
What do you do for daily maintenance then if you can't brush a dry coat? Are you saying to comb a dry coat or ? Plus, I always brush a dirty coat before I bathe bc otherwise I feel they'll tangle up worse during the bath.

Confused. Mardelin, please come live with me so I can absorb all your nuggets of expertise.
