if you decided to cut the mats out please be careful. i've seen many pups come into the vets office because the owners didn't realize how close they were to the skin. its very easy to cut our little ones and their skin is like paper. just recently someone on YT tried to cut a mat out of her shih-tzu puppy and ended up cutting her puppy so bad she needed to have the vet anesthetize her and stitch it up.

puppy coats mat like crazy and since she's gotten a few baths with a matted coat its going to be very hard to get them out. honestly i'd let the groomer shave them out. this way she won't associate grooming with pain and you won't have to worry about possibly hurting her. puppy coats are hard to keep untangled and many people shave the pups at a certain age just to get rid of the puppy coat and start fresh with the adult one.
