Lucy has never had a mat in 3 years. But Ella's coat is thick and cottony. She does pretty good with brushing but when I get to the mat she just squirms and squeals. They are mostly around her back legs. What can I do to make this easier on her?

I have been using Lucy's brushes but I think I might have to get something else for Ella. Do they make brushes/combs specifically for cotton coats or for removing mats?

I have to give her another bath today and I will be putting a heavier condition on her back legs to see if that helps loosen it up.

I need all the help I can get!
