With Fido, his hair is much easy to brush and comb after bath, I just ruin the hair if I brush it dirty.
I leave alot of conditioner in the hair after bath so combing the matts out will become very easy
! It's OK to leave conditioner in the coat, just don't leave any shampoo in the coat.
I think its just different with dogs if they become matted after bath or not if its better to brush and comb before or after.
