Absolutely. Sammy my moms rescue was matted when he was first rescued and I think the people tried to brush it out rather then just shave it and start over because now if you comb him and hit a tiny tangle that the comb will go right through he jerks and runs away. I hate puppy coats and did not realize how seriously you have to brush and comb them when I first got Callie and she had mats so the groomer shaved her and what grew back was much softer and silkier and does not tangle/ mat at all.
