Reddit mentions of BioSilk for Pets Therapy Detangling Plus Shine Protecting Mist for Dogs (FFP7120ST)

For my doodle, BioSilk Therapy Detangling and Shine Spray has been a lifesaver - makes brushing out the tangles/mats a heck of a lot easier (also lessens the pain for your pup!)

Remember when you brush you shouldn't just brush one way... you need to go backwards, sideways, pretty much every angle to make sure you aren't missing any mats tight up against the skin. I recommend using a comb with different bristle lengths and different types of brushes.. after experience, you'll know which one is best for each situation.

Depending on your pup, different sections will need more attention than others. My girl gets bad tangles behind and on her ears, her face/cheeks, on top and bottoms of paws, and collar/harness area. I brush those areas more frequently than everything else.

Also, reward him/her with a treat after each brushing! At this point, right when we're finished brushing, my dog trots over to the closet and stares at me expecting her treat :)

Ive got a couple, because I have no impulse control.

for difficult tangles I use cowboy magic.

For just normal brushing when theyre a LIL tangly, but nothing serious I mostly use this one. It smells like those strawberry candies old people sometimes have. It's the go to when theyve come in from rain or snow, or when theyve had an excessive amount of fun at the dog park.

and this one is what I generally use to brush em out after a bath/towel dry cause it makes them super soft.

Biggest thing in the winter is to make sure you keep their paw pads trimmed, and any extra side fluff trimmed down to foot size. The fluffy feet are like mud sponges.

I also use a good conditioner to help work the mats out in the bath. This is what I use: https://www.amazon.com/Chris-Christensen-After-Bathe-Conditioner/dp/B00CRKLOHO/ref=lp_3020782011_1_12?srs=3020782011&ie=UTF8&qid=1542762378&sr=8-12

The only other suggestion I have would be to work at the mats little by little. My poodle gets mats behind her front paws very easily. I brush her every day, however, some days it is really bad. My poodle uses a similar type harness, but i've never had any mating issues with it. She also wears a collar with a velvet lining which seems to help.
