Removing hair mats is fraught with potential complications. Many mats are firmly attached to the skin, so you must be extremely careful not to cut the skin as you cut off the mat.
Begin by brushing and combing as much as possible. Many small mats can be removed with a thorough brushing. If mats remain, try to make the mat smaller by brushing the hair near the mat. Once you are sure that the mat can only be removed by cutting the hair, then go for the scissors.
Clippers are safest and best way to remove matted hair. Unfortunately, most people do not
own clippers and must make do with scissors. Be very careful.
Begin by isolating the mat.

Great suggestions. If you are not sure than it would be better to go to someone who does like maybe a groomer or your vet and advise you.
Thats right and its also better for you to attempt to do it your self, give them treats as you groom new puppies. just start slowly. if you start with them young and be kind, they are less likely to need to be muzzeled. and we are not there when groomers are doing your dog, so we don;t know what they are doing.. its bonding thing that i love to do lelo loves it when its done!!
So true.
