Matting isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it can lead to serious discomfort and health problems for your dog. When fur becomes tangled and tightly knotted, it pulls on the skin, causing pain, inflammation, and even bruising. Severe matting can hide skin infections, parasites, and wounds, and in some cases, it can cut off circulation or restrict movement. Removing mats often requires shaving the coat short, which can be stressful for both dog and groomer. Regular brushing at home and consistent grooming appointments help prevent mats, keeping your pup comfortable, healthy, and happy.
