Wetness stuck in the fur can also lead to knotted patches. Breeds that lose a lot of hair often face this issue. So do those with soft, smooth coats.

Start Dog Mat Removal with Dry Hair<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start brushing only when the coat is fully dry, except if you\u2019re applying a tangle-releasing mist first.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damp knots pull tighter, making them tougher to brush out later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Apply a Detangling Spray<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by misting the tangled spot so the strands relax a bit before you go further. Wait right there, give it sixty seconds to work into the knots gently.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Hold the Base of the Mat During Dog Mat Removal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start near the base of the coat, fingers flat against the skin. That way, tugging stays light.

Use a Comb to Finish<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by sliding a wide-tooth comb through once it&#8217;s loose enough.
