The hair on her body and head is corse and doesn't get tangled. It's the hair on the inside of her legs and under belly that are getting mats. I had to cut two matted patches from her elbows the other day with scissors because I couldn't get the brush through. She had one on the edge of her back thigh too. I bought one of these mattmasters from work hoping it would break up any mats without having to cut them out with scissors. I just couldn't use it though. I held the hair so it wouldn't pull Gems skin but I just couldn't cut through it. I was wondering if anybody used one they could give me some advice on how to do it. We don't normally have a problem, it's because the hair is quite long now underneath so roll on Monday. A friend of mine didn't have her Cairn groomed (stripped or clipped) for the whole of the winter. When she did take her to be groomed the groomer had no choice but to shave her close all over because of the mats. She came out looking like a little otter!
