Humid weather can unfortunately accelerate matting in long-haired dogs, potentially leading to skin irritation and infections underneath the mats. Regular grooming is key. Brush your dog daily, using a de-shedding tool and a slicker brush, paying extra attention to areas prone to matting like behind the ears, armpits, and groin. Consider professional grooming for a tidy trim, especially during humid seasons, which can significantly reduce the risk. Ensure their coat is completely dry after baths, as dampness can make matting worse. A diet rich in omega fatty acids can also contribute to a healthier coat.
