The ONLY thing that works is getting him shaved by the groomer. Whatever the groomer uses and the shortness of the cut can get me 2 months mat free with him, then he minimally mats for a month before he goes back. Right now he's WAAYYY overdue for grooming and he's a MESS. Knotted EVERYWHERE. Even the top of his head mats. He WILL NOT let us brush him, he FREAKS out and I eventually get sooo worked up I have cried out of sheer frustration with him. I say every time that I give up, but I keep trying to get him used to the brush... just not happening! I just have a messy pup (and my other boy, his litermate, is so silky, hes never matted once in his life!) go figure! |
Thanks for the info. Pita's hair on her back does lay flat except for a portion on her butt that isn't as long as the rest. And she doesn't get mats all over, just on her underside where she lays the most(so i think you are right about them all getting mats)...great help, thanks.
