I like to use Pet Silk Silk Serum as a detangler. It is actually a coat dressing, but I use it to give the hair slip when undoing knots.
Jenny, Mimimomo, sells the Madan mustache comb on her site toplinepet.com A really good comb makes a big difference when carefully undoing knots.
I sell the Doggyman small slicker, which is a favorite of groomers. A pricier choice would be the Les Pooches slicker which you can buy directly from them or at Wayfair. Usually slickers aren't recommended for breeds that don't have an undercoat, but these slickers are gentle.
Work on small sections at a time and always hold the hair so that it isn't tugging the skin. |
I have a Safari comb and absolutely love it. Can you use baby powder corn starch? It's amazing how many things I've found in the 2 year old's room that I can use on Sam, LOL. I do want to get a Madan brush from Jenny, though.
Holding the hair isn't possible at this point because it's so tight against his skin. Some of the knots are about 1/4" away, so just enough room to get the scissors in there.
