Ah.. for the love of the great out doors comes the dread of the dreaded knots, tangles, and burrs tat come from outdoor adventures, some we partake in, and some that are furry pets find on their own. And if you are a hunter or live in the country and own a dog or hunting dogs, you know all too well about the burrs!
Knots, tangles, mats, and burrs are par for the course during outdoor romps, especially those off the beaten path. Mats pull on the skin and become even tighter when your dog gets wet from rain or a refreshing dip in the water. To remedy the problem of knots, tangles, and mats, use a special tool, the mat splitter, to cut off matted and tangled clumps of fur and to remove burrs wedged into the undercoat. To avoid nicking the skin, only cut out a mat with scissors if you can slide a comb between the mat and the skin; then carefully cut over the comb.
Burrs are another story. Often times they are best removed by attempting to get your playful dog to sit still long enough to pull each one out individually. It is best that you tend to them immediately as if they are left, they can develop in to a huge mess.
