Hello...
I'm looking for advice. I've been trying to groom Disney myself (he just turned one) and it's going okay - I am by no means really good at it, but I'm trying! My husband has been taking him for walks and using a harness. We take it off as soon as he comes inside but it seems that the harness is causing mats in his fur, right at the skin level. I have tried to comb them out with a regular comb and also a rake type comb but I'm having a hard time getting them out and he's not very patient with me because I'm sure it hurts.
I was in a pet store today asking about what I could use and the store owner showed me the "Furminator". She said she uses it on her dogs but they don't have the fur that Disney does. His fur is so thick and on the wavy side. I went on the "Furminator" website and there's a video demonstration but I'm still not convinced that this is what I should be using on Disney.
I'm wondering if any of you have tried this tool on your cockers. Or, could you suggest something else that I could use? I typically order through Pet Edge and I see that they sell de-matting tools but I'm not sure what would work best.
Thanks so much for your help!
