Try to loosen them first and comb out, if it is too daunting of a task for she and you shave her. Shaving her in the summer isnt a bad idea but she may look a bit funny for awhile. |
I agree and I had that problem with Cheri's puppy coat- it matted under her arms really easily - once I got the matts out - we started spraying on Ice on Ice EVERY day and she has never had a tangle since getting her adult coat - I think puppy vs adult coat clash together - once she loses that "Puppy" coat it may be easier -
If the matts are really bad - Cut or shave her down because it will stress you BOTH out trying to get to them all - if you don't want to do this - start working on those matts ASAP - they will NOT go away till you make them...somethimes they get so close to the skin it's very hard to get them out.
A REALLY great shampoo and conditioner help alot with this problem - plus a daily spray on ...GOOD LUCK !!
