Best Dog Detangler
Brushing your dog’s hair can be painful and uncomfortable for your pet as you attempt to work through tangles and knots. Fortunately, dog detanglers can help condition loosen the hair, making it easier to comb through. This list features several detanglers that can help improve the quality and texture of your four-legged friend’s coat.
Dr. Tracy Douglas says, “I find dog detanglers effective for grooming as they lessen the anxiety pets have when their coats are being brushed out. Good detanglers should be made with safe ingredients that won’t cause any irritation, especially for dogs with sensitive skin.”

This detangler penetrates below the surface to restore moisture as it strengthens the hair for a softer texture and a more natural shine. It can also repel sand, dirt and dust.
Pros and cons
Cowboy Magic dog detangler is concentrated enough that only a small amount needs to be applied, even to larger breeds with more fur to cover, which allows the bottle to last longer.
