Poor little Snickers. You could try Cowboy Magic...it does wonders in getting out mats. Also, you could get a dematting comb which will break apart the mats. With the dematting comb, you will take some hair out, but not half as much if you were to cut it out. They work really good on mats and tangles and a lot less painful to the puppy. Good luck!

Are you using rubber bands on his topknot? I can't use those on Little Bit because she tries so hard to get them out that she makes the biggest old mats. I just use the scrunchies & have to put them in more often. If I had kept using the rubber bands on the topknot, I'm afraid she would have had a bald head.

Try brushing the hair through when you have the conditioner in. It works
