Outdoor activities like swimming and rolling around in dust and dirt are a dog’s worst enemy when it comes to hair getting matted.

Matted fur can cause all kinds of problems because there is no air circulation to the skin. This can lead to hot spots, mold, bacterial or fungal infections which could draw maggots to the infection. Worstly, your pet is in pain at these areas due to the fur is twisted and constantly pulling at the skin.

It is important to bathe and groom your furry buddy during the warmer months while they’re enjoying the warmer weather outside.
