✨ Fluffy Coats Need Special Care – Here’s What I Recommend as a Groomer
If your dog has a thick, curly, or fluffy coat (think Poodles, Bichons, or long-haired breeds), you know that matting and brushing battles can be a real struggle. As a professional dog groomer, I work with these coat types every day — and I've tested every tool under the sun.
Here’s what I personally use and recommend to clients to keep those gorgeous coats healthy and tangle-free between salon visits.
🖤 1. The Finishing Comb – Your Coat-Check Hero
A finishing comb is your final step in brushing — and the secret to catching sneaky knots that brushes miss.
Why I love it:
-
Great for daily maintenance
-
Helps you spot small tangles before they become big mats
-
Easy to glide through a well-brushed coat
🧼 2. The Ultra Dematting Spray – Detangles + Smells Amazing
A light spray before brushing helps protect the coat and makes detangling 10x easier.
My tip: Mist lightly before you begin brushing or combing. It helps reduce friction and adds a gorgeous shine.
🐾 3. The Slicker Brush – A Must for Thick or Curly Coats
The slicker is your go-to for fluffing up the coat and removing loose fur and undercoat. It's gentle but effective.
Groomer tip: Brush in sections, and always follow up with your finishing comb to make sure the coat is tangle-free right to the skin.
🧺 How Often Should You Be Brushing?
For fluffy-coated dogs, I recommend brushing at least 2–3 times per week, especially in winter when coats are longer and more prone to matting. Regular brushing keeps your dog more comfortable, prevents painful mats, and saves you time and money at the groomer!
