How to Deal with Knotted Dog Hair

If your dog's hair is only slightly knotted, simply use a comb to slowly detangle it. If the knots are moderate, first use your hands to manually separate the knots one by one, and then slowly comb through the hair. However, if the knots are severe, you'll need to cut off the knotted hair and then comb it out slowly, allowing the hair to grow back.

The degree of knotted dog hair can be divided into three levels: light, medium, and heavy.

1. Light Knots

If your dog's hair is only slightly knotted, you only need to use a comb to slowly detangle it. Find the knotted hair, then use the comb to gently comb from the tip to the root, untangling the hair. Be careful not to pull too hard during the process, or the dog may feel pain and struggle violently.

1. Medium Knots

If the dog's hair can't be combed out and needs to be untangled manually, it is considered a medium degree of knots. In this case, the owner must patiently pull out the knotted hair strand by strand until the tangled hair is separated. After separating the knots, use a comb to comb the hair. If the hair can't be pulled out, you can apply a little knot-opening water or hair care oil to soften the hair before operation.

1. Heavy Knots

If the dog's hair is severely knotted even after spraying a detangling agent, it is considered a heavy degree of knots. In this case, the only option is to use scissors to cut off the knotted hair. If you can't handle it yourself, take your dog to a beauty salon and let a professional hairstylist trim it.

Note: Always brush your dog's hair every day to prevent knots, prevent skin diseases, and promote communication between you and your dog.
