Properly caring for your dog is a mixture of a variety of factors, including having the right nutrition, good training and ensuring that their grooming needs are met. However, this can be easier said than done – especially since not everyone knows what they need to be looking out for.
While it’s not uncommon for dogs to develop small mats (especially if they’ve recently been exposed to water), you need to try your best to keep on top of them. No matter where they are on the body, mats are uncomfortable for your dog and pull on their skin. However, if the matting is behind the ears, then this can actually pose a genuine health risk for your dog.
