You can try to make the grooming experience as pleasant as possible for Penelope so that she will be more willing to hold still. I'd try offering her a very highly valued treat (something she loves and only gets when groomed) to distract her while you try grooming her. As long as she does not have a dietary sensitivity Peanut butter or spray cheese can work nicely. Initially you may need a second person to offer treats to distract while you groom, but hopefully Penelope will eventually allow you to groom her without an extra hand. You may want to also try Adaptil spray to help calm her during grooming. If these techniques do not work you will need to take Penelope to a veterinarian who offers grooming services. Thanks for using Boop by Petco!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Tulip! The mats are painful, cause itching and could cause skin issues. If she will allow you to shave them (do not use scissors) then great. Other options are traveling groomers that come to your house or scheduling a sedated shave down with your vet. Maybe they can provide an oral sedative before hand so you can catch her and make the car ride less awful. I hope this helps and happy holidays.

Hi Lynanne, thank you for using Boop by Petco. Great question! Cute dogs! I think this is personal preference. Personally I think the bristle would be best. If heavy tartar is not present then any of them should do the trick as a preventive measure. Hope this answers your question. If not, feel free to post again. Best wishes!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! i would see if your Vet can do it first. They will be more gentle, it may not look the best, but they will be conscious over her age and fragility. If she can not tolerate it then they can discuss maybe using light sedation. I hope this helps!
