Matted fur could mean any number of things. To answer this question, you need to provide more information.
If your pet is a long-haired animal, matted fur could just mean you need to brush your pet more.
If the matted fur is around the hind legs area, it could mean your pet is sick.
The best thing to do would be to bring your pet to the veterinarian, so he or she can be examined by a professional, and treated if necessary. At the least, the vet can safely remove the matted fur.
You should NOT try to remove the matted fur at home, because you could seriously injure your pet. You might try washing the area, but if the fur is badly matted, that probably won't work. If you do try to wash the area, use a cloth, with water in a bucket or something. Don't put your pet in the bath: it's stressful, and can lead to injury.
If your pet is a rabbit, please see the related questions below for info and links.
