Long, Drop Coats mat easily. They require deep combing down to the skin to assure there are no hidden "snags" that can turn into full-blown mats and tangles.

Curly Coats are also known as "non-shedding", but that is not entirely accurate. These dogs shed, but loose hair tangles into the rest of the coat, making daily maintenance an absolute must.

Coarse-Coated Terriers are usually clipped down the back to leave lovely feathering don the legs and a skirt across the belly. While clipped areas don't require much between-groming maintenance, it's necessary to comb through the feathering every few days. Neglected featherings can become matted fairly quickly.

Short, Flat Coats don't require a ton of maintenance but they do seem to shed everywhere! Keeping them de-shedded can seem like a daunting task, but a few specialized brushes will make it a great deal easier.
 | Shedding Blade Available in 3 sizes, shedding blades are great for removing loose guard coat. Single-side blade teeth draw through the coat, gripping loose hair and pulling it free. |
 | The Furminator The ultimate de-shedding tool. The furminator pushes through the topcoat to remove the dead undercoat and loose hair. When used regularly, will reduce shedding DRAMATICALLY. |
 | Zoom Groom For use on dry or wet dogs. In the tub, the zoom groom will help massage and work shampoo and conditioner into the coat. On a dry dog, massaging action removes piles of loose coat with the added benefit of giving your pet a relaxing massage. |
Thick, Double-Coats are the notorious shedders, especially during the spring and fall.

The following brushes will help you keep your dog's coat under control.
