Why coats mat between baths

Oil and friction act like glue.

They bind hair together at the root—especially in high-rub areas like under harnesses, behind ears, and along the tail.

By the time you feel a tangle, it’s already forming.

Most products try to brush through it.
This breaks it apart first.

What people are saying

The grooming powder is the best thing we’ve found to help break up matted areas in our Goldendoodle's fur. Take your time and use it with a slicker brush and you won’t have to shave your dog down. We love it.

This waterless powder allows the comb to slip through and loosens tiny matts before they become a problem. Finn stays fresh and soft. The fragrance is mild and doesn’t linger.

Finn

His topknot was nearly felted and I had my doubts this would do anything. It took a total of 4 pumps and 10 minutes to get all of the matting out. I was able to run a comb through it. I’m really impressed — this worked a miracle for me.

What makes Poof different

• Absorbs oil at the root (where mats start)

• Reduces friction so hair separates instead of tightening

• Restores volume so the coat stays airy—not compacted

What to expect:

Brushing actually works

Your brush moves through the coat instead of getting stuck. Less pulling, less frustration.

Less bathing, less hassle

Absorbs oil at the root so coats stay fresher between washes.

Fewer mats over time

Stops the buildup that turns small tangles into something you have to cut out.

How Poof compares

Most dry shampoos were built for every dog. Poof was built for the ones that mat.
