Out of my 4 chins, Gumby, my standard is prone to getting mats, no idea why.
I usually wait until it sticks out then gently pull at it.
But I' m really bad at it and he always runs away and won't let my hands near his butt area.
Tonight, with the help front husband, I followed the instructions chinnymom gave and gently worked the biggest mat out of him. He let out a few cries, but we got the job done.
Poor thing, it felt like animal cruelty.
