To make grooming fun and part of their routine, give your pet their favourite treat for each session. Encourage them to stand still and give them plenty of praise. DIRECTIONS: Ensure that you brush your pet gently, especially around the face and delicate eye area. Always brush in the direction that your pet's coat grows. Begin by using a brush to gently tease out any large mats and knots. Then move onto the comb to tackle any smaller, more stubborn knots. Starting at the neck, comb in the direction that your pet's coat grows, combing small sections at a time. Brush the entire coat to ensure that all knots and dead hair are removed using a slicker brush to make any knots smaller, then a comb to remove the tangles. For any tight mats or knots, seek help from a professional groomer. Regularly groom your pet to maintain their coat. Examine the item for wear and tear and replace at first signs of damage or if parts become detached.
