Massaging in circular motions like most of us do with our own hair can cause tangles. Use a towel to dry them by wringing out or removing excess water, avoid rubbing the coat with the towel as this can also cause tangles. Once you’ve removed most of the moisture, use a blow dryer at a comfortable temperature and speed to dry the rest of the fur.
