MATS

I thought I was doing well with my doggie. Seems like the sides of her legs have gotten matted...seems like over night. I do not want to shave her. Is there any kind of tool I can use. I would like to keep her long at least through winter in NJ. She will be 2 in November.

If you use talcum powder (the same as we use on babys)
an put that into the mattes then use you fingers to get it all in.
then you use a pin brush carfully and you will see that the mattes
will go out easy :lol:
I will have to remember that one! mental note to self : add talcum powder to the shopping list. :D
Keep the talcum powder away fromt he lungs.
Oh, yes. I am very sensitive to powder myself. The slightest whiff and I am sneezing and sneezing.
Does talcum powder really work? I'll have to try that... Sky has some mats on her neck that keep popping up....
Just this morning we found HUGE matts under Allies ears, at the bottom....Almost toward the neck. Honest, we brush this pup 2-3 times a day! How did we miss these?? I am just cutting them out, being the ear covers this area....I will try the powder for the left overs..
That's very interesting, Tove. I don't think I've ever heard or seen Talcum Powder mentioned in relation to getting matts out. Hmmm!! I learn something new here all the time!!

Tray it. By the ones we use for the babys, put some into the matts
then use your fingers to get it real into the matt. Brush with a pin brush
and the mattes removes realy easy :lol:
It works great to help break apart the matt.

Hey tove it is also good for muddy babies HA HA :P :lol: :lol:
