Not only is matted hair painful to dogs, it can also cause many health issues. When a Matt forms it starts out by pulling on the dogs hair, it will eventually cause dandruff under the Matt, then as the Matt gets tighter and tighter it will cause a sore on the skin under the Matt. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you look up matting online you can see pics of the different stages of matting and how badly it effects dogs health and temperment.
