How a session goes

Apply. Wait. Brush.

Loosen first, then remove.
STEP 1
Apply.
Work the cream into the mat, right down to where it sits. It pours on, no mist.
STEP 2
Wait.
Let the formula soften the knot. Ten minutes, give or take. The wait does the heavy lifting.
STEP 3THE PAYOFF
Brush.
Short outside-in strokes with the rake, holding the base of the mat to keep tension off the skin.
Give the chew 30 to 60 minutes before you start. If the skin underneath looks irritated, a groomer visit is the kind call.
Pair it right

The brush makes the difference.

Brushing a dry mat pulls it against the skin. The cream is there to soften the knot first, and the rake is shaped to lift it out once it gives.

  • Saturate the mat first. Never brush it dry
  • Hold the base of the mat, not the tip
  • Start at the ends and work toward the skin
  • Short strokes, at the dog’s pace

Holding the base of the mat keeps the pull off your dog’s skin. It is the one habit that makes sessions calmer.
