Cowboy Magic Detangler is great for working on mats, you can get it online or at some feed-tack stores. Many people have recommended it. Joey has a silky coat and rarely gets mats, but one day I noticed he had a sticker in his hair and a mat all around it. I was so grateful for the Cowboy Magic. I put it on the mat and used my thumb and forefinger to massage it. After several minutes, I could comb right through it. If your dog mats often, it's either because he has a cotton coat or wears clothes. I would try the Cowboy Magic before I shaved him and then you might want to get him a more manageable puppy cut. |
