How to Use ULTRA VITALIZING MIST and DE-MAT Pro Spray Together

Quick answer

Use DE-MAT Pro RTU Leave-In Conditioner Spray first to release tangles and mats, then follow with ULTRA VITALIZING MIST as a finishing spray for shine and freshness. Applying the detangler before the finishing mist prevents locked-in knots and gives the best coat result.

Step-by-step: using both sprays in the right order

1. Brush out loose hair: Before applying any spray, use a slicker brush or comb to remove loose hair and check for mats. Common mistake: skipping this step and spraying over dense undercoat, which can trap debris and make tangles harder to find. Always test with a comb after brushing—if it snags, you have more work to do.
2. Apply DE-MAT Pro to tangles and mats: Lightly mist DE-MAT Pro directly onto tangles and mats, holding the bottle 6–8 inches away. Work in sections, starting at the ends of the hair and moving toward the skin. Common mistake: soaking the coat; too much product can leave residue and weigh hair down. Use the least amount of spray that lets the comb glide through.
3. Work through the coat with a comb: After spraying, use a comb to gently work through each tangle. Start at the tips and gradually move closer to the skin. Common mistake: pulling hard from the root, which causes discomfort and can damage hair. If the comb still catches, apply a little more DE-MAT Pro and repeat rather than forcing it.
4. Mist ULTRA VITALIZING MIST as a finishing spray: Once the coat is tangle-free, lightly mist ULTRA VITALIZING MIST over the entire coat from 8–10 inches away. Avoid spraying directly into eyes, ears, or nose. Common mistake: over-spraying in one spot, which can leave a wet patch and uneven sheen. Use a light, even mist—one or two passes over each area is usually enough.
5. Brush through and let dry: Use a brush or comb to distribute the finishing mist evenly through the coat, then let it air dry or use a low-heat dryer if your dog tolerates it. Common mistake: brushing while the coat is still very wet, which can stretch hair and create new tangles. Check the coat once dry—if you feel stiffness or residue, you used too much product.
