poodles are high maintenance and don't tend to shed much.The dense and curly hair of the poodle makes it more prone to matting than other dog breeds.It is important that you brush, wash, and trim your poodle's hair frequently so that it stays healthy and clean.If your poodle has mats, you can use a spray and brush to clean them.
Step 1: You should brush your poodle's hair 3 to 4 times a week.
While washing and grooming are important, the best way to keep your poodle's hair tangle-free is to brush it about 3 to 4 times a week.poodles have 2 layers of dense curly hair which causes them to mat quickly and tightly.It is important that you brush your poodle frequently to prevent mats from forming.poodle hair is generally thick and curly, but there are variations in thickness and texture from one dog to another.If your poodle has thick hair, you need to brush it every day.You should check your poodle's coat at the end of the day to make sure there are no twigs, leaves, or debris in the hair.
Step 2: Keep your poodle's hair tangle-free with slicker and bristle brushes.
You will need 2 types of dog brushes to de-tangle your poodle's hair because it is prone to matting.A slicer brush is a wide brush with short bristles that can be used to remove dead hair and debris from your poodles hair.Abristle brush is a longer bristle brush that will help remove tangles from your poodle's long hairs.If you trim your poodles hair so that it is short, you may only need a scraper brush.
Step 3: If you need to brush your poodle's hair, switch from the slicker to the bristle brush.
There are no hard and fast rules about how to best brush your poodle's hair because the length and texture of poodle hair varies depending on their size, hairstyle, and specific breed or mix.As you go through your poodle's hair, you'll likely need to assess which brush to use and switch.You can start with a bristle brush for longer hair, such as your poodle's tail, sides, and the top of their head, or you can use a slicker brush.
Step 4: It's Wash.
Give your poodle a bath at least once every 3 weeks to keep his hair from getting matted.It will be easier for you to brush through your poodle's thick layers of hair with this.If you decide to get your poodle groomed once every 3 weeks, you can skip this step.
Step 5: There is a trim.
Use electric dog hair clippers to trim your poodle's hair every 4 to 6 weeks to keep it healthy and free of mats.Keeping your poodles hair from getting too long and more prone to tangling will help remove dead ends and damaged hair, which can cause matting.If you want to get your poodle's hair trimmed, you can either do it yourself or go to a professional.It can be helpful to start cutting your poodle's hair when they are young.They will be less likely to get stressed or agitated if they are accustomed to the activity and sound of the electric clippers.If your poodle has mats that are too thick to be cut with electric clippers, you may need to use scissors.This can be dangerous and you may need to take your poodle to the groomer to have the mats removed.
Step 6: If you don't groom your poodle at home, you should take them to a professional.
Taking your poodle to get professionally groomed every 3 to 6 weeks will help keep their hair from matting if you don't bathe and trim them at home.Because poodles are trained to take care of many types of dog breeds, they will know how to brush, bathe, and trim them and have some of the best tools and products to work with.If you want to groom your poodle at home, it's a good idea to take them to a professional groomer a few times so you can see how they help prevent and remove mats from their hair.
Step 7: You can give your poodle food that is high in fat and calories.
To keep your poodle's hair healthy and prevent matting, you should ask your vet to recommend a high-fat food.It is possible for your dog's skin to be cut down on that can cause matting or make it worse.If your dog's hair becomes dry and brittle, it can cause it to break and mat.Adding chicken and flaxseed oil to your dog's diet is something you can ask your vet for, as well as asking for a recommendation.
Step 8: It's a good idea to avoid putting your poodle in clothes.
While it can look cute, putting your poodle in clothes can cause your hair to mat, which can be dangerous.If it is necessary to protect your poodle from the cold, don't put them in clothes.poodles have sensitive skin and wearing clothes can cause irritation.
Step 9: If you want your poodle's hair to be free of tangles, shave it.
It can take a lot of time and money if you use a professional to keep your poodle hair mat-free.If you don't want to spend a lot of time brushing, bathing, and trimming your poodle's hair, shaving it may be the best option for you.You can shave your poodle at home by setting your dog hair trimmer on the shortest setting, or you can go to the groomer and get shaved every 3 to 6 weeks.If you want to keep your poodle's hair shaved, you can clip it into a shorter trim.Longer hair is more likely to mat than partially shaved hair.
Step 10: Pet hair detangling spray is a good way to coat your poodle's hair.
If you want to coat your poodle's hair, first spray the pet hair detangling spray.You can massage the spray into the clumps with your fingers.To make sure the mats are completely saturated, you may need to do a few sprays.
Step 11: The spray should be left to dry for at least 6 hours.
After your poodle's hair is saturated, let the solution dry for 6 and 24 hours.It will be easier to pull apart the matted hair if you have time to condition it.It may take up to 24 hours for the spray to fully absorb into the hair, so you should check your poodle's hair after 6 hours.
Step 12: To pull apart the mats, use your fingers and a brush.
Use your fingers to pull apart the mats.Once the clumps are separated, use a slicker brush to work through the mats one layer at a time.The detangling spray will help loosen the mats, but it can take quite a bit of time.It is important to work slowly with the brush and fingers so that you don't break your poodle's hair.After brushing out the mats, you can run over your poodle's hair with a detangling comb to get all the knots out.
Step 13: If the matting is severe, use a pet clipper.
You may need to use a pet hair clipper if you can't work through the mats with your fingers.If the matting is severe, you may need to use a #8, #9, or #10 blade to cut through the hair.Since you could cut through your dog's skin with scissors, it can be dangerous to cut the matting off.
