The things she does to get attention, is it more than usual? Is the matt happening in the same area or random? Are you sure it's not environmental? As Maximo mentioned, they can develope allergies and other things later in their life. How about spritzing him with a spray on conditioner?
The only time I had issues with matting with Magnus (also a teapot!) was his underarm. But even that wasn't a big deal as long as I brushed the area once a day. Not an issue at all if his coat is kept short in general. |
