You might want to get a dematting comb |
When that happened to Cali after her spay, I took her to a trusted groomer to get the mats out and still keep her coat long. |

I would suggest hitting the groomer and letting them cut him down. If he is 4 months that is just the puppy coat changing. It's going to be a while to get that coat matt free and keep it that way. |
This is where i got mine http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=4512 It saved me from getting Jewels shaved once |
i had no choice but to shave lexi at 4 months. i didnt want to hurt her. those matts didnt come out either... the hairs grows quite fast, and its summertime.... |
i take a small pair of scissors and when i come up on a matt i slide the scissors through the matt and brush it out - works great as i tried the dematting stuff but this quick and easy and does not hurt them . |

Using the dematting comb doesnt hurt if you do it right. You take two fingers and put them around the hair right before the matt toward the skin. You then take the dematting comb through the matt. You will pull the comb through the matt only and you wont be pulling on skin which hurts. When I did Jewels like this she didnt yelp once |
Sounds like the comb works pretty well if you do it right. I'll have to try it. |
On my post above I said something incorrectly. You dont pull the comb through the matt. You pull the matt through the comb. That way you arent pulling on skin at all |
I feel ya I'm having the same issues with my baby boy Nico. He loves to always lay down :rolleyes: , so as soon as I finish combing him out...his hair ends up getting really matted in his belly area. I'm taking both my pups to the groomer today, and I am sure they will have to shave his belly area. I actually dont mind. It's pretty warm now, so his hair will grow back in time for the winter. He also is a cotton coat. I actually really love it that way. My Lexi is silky, so I really dont have any issues with her, she can just look kinda shaggy/stringy if i dont brush her. I just think that getting him cut down will be best, this way I can start fresh and make sure I comb him out more often (twice a day probably!) :p |
