I shaved my boys this weekend! had enough! My Dexter has a cotton coat that gets matted to the skin on a daily basis. I have easily spent an hour a day for weeks on end trying to keep him dematted, it just didnt work. I gave up and shaved him.
He is happy, Im happy and there are no matts!
What a chore though. He HATES being brushed and wiggles, bites the brush/comb, fights me every step of the way!
