DO MATTS MATTER?
Matts are solid lumps of fur, so tangled that they cannot be combed or brushed out.
Matts are as painful for your dog as you getting your privates caught in your zip.
... A completely matted dog is living in a straight-jacket that prevents him from moving, sitting or lying down without discomfort or pain.
They can occur anywhere on the body, but most frequently in high friction areas:
Immediately behind the ears, and around the collar area, in the armpits, groin or under the tail. but perhaps the most painful are in the pads and between the toes, those hurt with every step. They hide all kinds of nasties like ticks, fleas, thorns, burrs and twigs, which would hurt your dog every time it moves.
They can constrict the circulation causing gangrene or get so tight they tear the skin.
So the short answer is yes, matts do matter.
You cannot clip through matts, only underneath them. Cutting them out runs the risk of cutting through the delicate skin of your dog.
Brushing them out is intensely painful and contrary to the 2006 Animal Welfare Act under which offenders face imprisonment or fines running to thousands of pounds.

So in severe cases (more than 10% of the dog) a total clip-off is the only option. PLEASE BRUSH YOUR DOGS REGULARLY TO AVOID THIS!
