Matted coats can be painful for dogs, pulling on their skin and potentially leading to skin infections. For severe matting, it's often best to seek professional grooming, as attempting to cut them out with scissors yourself can easily result in accidental cuts to the skin. Groomers have specialized tools and techniques for safely dematting or shaving the coat. Regular brushing, especially with a de-shedding tool or slicker brush, is crucial to prevent matting in the future.
