Jake's hair was matting easy for awhile, but since he has lost most of his puppy hair now, his hair no longer mats at all. If you can brush the mats out, that's what I would do. If not, try to cut them out and try some detangler and see if that works. That's better than shaving him (I think) and once the puppy hair grows out, his new hair might be fine.
I bathe Jake once a week (sometimes twice) and use the detangler, and his hair comes out nice and silky and shiny. Some detanglers can be used on dry hair in-between baths, and brushing everyday helps to avoid the mats.
Good luck! |
