Can someone tell me what is so funny about a dog being shaved so short because of mats that is funny? Mats hurt the dog and if you have to get them so short that you think they need a sweater then thatās on you. Learn how to brush AND COMB your dog! Sorry but this irritates me so much. People think thatās itās nothing for a dog to have mats and have to be shaved. Mats can cut off blood to parts of their body. They pull the skin and can cause skin issues and itās a hiding place/s for fleas and ticks. If you donāt have time to brush and comb them then keep the short. The more fluffy they are the more you need to brush and comb them. Doing it once a week isnāt enough for any dog. Doodles do need to be brushed. Along with every dog. If you have ever seen my dog he is short other then his tail and there is a reason for it. I donāt have time to brush him because my arms are so tired of brushing knots and mats and undercoat out of your dog because you donāt think you need to at home. Sorry for the rant but it frustrating seeing dog after dog in the salon, on Facebook or even in person that have been shaved short or I pet them and feel the mats. Itās pretty bad when my sister, niece, or nephew know your dog has mats when I didnāt say anything to them. I could go on and on and on about mats brushing and so on but if your still reading this then hopefully this helps you or someone out. Again sorry for the rant but needed to say.
