YT 500 Club Member | help! Help! I have a new biewer rescue. He has so many little Knotts and won't let me brush him thoroughly. He seems so sensitive when I brush him out. What is a good product to use for knotts? He goes to a groomer but I still find Knotts. Advice anyone!

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You could try coconut oil or something like Ice On Ice, Vellus Cream...and use a mustache metal comb like this one: toplinepet.com

| Corn starch is my life saver....errr...Gracie Ruth's life saver. Her hair tangles if you just look at it and she is very tender skinned. Wash him with a good shampoo and conditioner, dry him throughly. When you sit down to comb him out, take a pinch of corn starch and rub it into the knot, take your metal comb and gently work out the knot. You may need to add a little more corn starch as you work the knot out. Try to hold the hair between the knot and his skin so that it doesn't pull on his skin. When you've got it worked out, then give him a small treat, rub the area gently with your fingers and praise him a lot. Repeat on the next knot. When you see that he's nearly at his tolerance stop and go do something with him that he loves. You can continue later when he's rested up. Keep in mind this activity can really, really stress these guys out. With time and patience, he'll get better at being able to tolerate the grooming session. If he's knotted really bad, it may just be the best thing to have him shaved down and start anew. Good luck.

| You could always shave him down and start fresh or keep him in a puppy cut.
