Sensitive areas on a dog behind the ears under the legs base of the tail.
Mats on dogs ears.
There is also the issue that the mats may be painful for bailey because the ears can be sensitive.
If left unattended these knots wrap together forming a tight pelt against the skin.
Comfort is the main thing.
Larger knots form when a part of the dog s coat has been neglected for some time.
Without seeing the mats it is hard to say but they often need to be shaved when the matting is severe.
To keep the ears mat free ask your groomer for the best type of brush and then gently brush bailey s ears daily.
A severely matted dog is not a happy dog.
To be blunt mats are painful.
To better understand this discomfort take a piece of your own hair wrap it around your finger until it reaches your scalp and give a slight tug.
