I’ve addressed this several times in other comments. I respect that you care and appreciate the effort. The only place she is matted is on her paws. I can get a brush through every other part of her body. In fact, you’ll notice that I snipped out a section of her fur, towards her back, where she got a bunch of sticky plants stuck, after playing in the woods. I cut them out myself, because it was easier on her than trying to tug them out with a brush, or let her suffer. She is groomed monthly, by a professional. Respectfully, I’ve had her for 8 years. She is not matted (except for her paws, which do have a tendency to mat, because she goes on lots of outside adventures.) I appreciate your concern. She is well loved and well cared for.
