Coat Preparation

Drying and Brushing Matter

Professional drying does more than remove water. It helps separate the coat so it can be brushed more thoroughly and finished more evenly.

Brushing after the bath helps remove loose fur, improve coat appearance and identify areas that may need additional attention.

  • Helps remove loose surface coat
  • Supports a softer, cleaner finish
  • Helps identify tangles and coat buildup
  • Makes home coat maintenance easier
