mini schnauzer hair

Question
his under coat get so matted that it is bad..i can not get it out. i brushed him ever day till this happened not its so hard to get a brush through.

Answer
Some schnauzers DO need to be brushed every single day, and this becomes even more important during times of rain and snow as water causes the hair to cling to itself (mat).

Cowboy Magic Detangler helps to remove mats; a little goes a long way when applying. A dematting tool is also useful, although a pair of sharp shears can help to make a large mat into several smaller ones that can be worked out with detangler and brushed out. The brush you should be using is the large Universal slicker brush.

If your dog is clippered, you should be grooming him at least every six-eight weeks; more often is better with some fast-growing, really soft coats. If he is stripped or rolled, you need to be raking out his undercoat 1-2 times a week, depending on how quickly it grows. My favorite raking tool is the Love2Pet "Brush", which is not really a brush, but it has a handle; I found one on eBay for a pretty good price. Amazon isn't too bad either. http://www.amazon.com/Love2Pet-Grooming-Tool-Hamsters-Horses/dp/B000P524NQ  Also a grooming (lava) stone is useful for getting out dead, soft coat. I use one in the tub when the dog is all soaped up, and it gets out hair like a son-of-a-gun; one needs a *GOOD* strainer in the drain with this method.
