Maltese hair matted.
Lately his hair has been getting matted even though we try to brush it very regularly and keep it in a puppy cut.

Small matted dog hair can occur daily because your long haired dog is continually shedding dead hairs.
The answer is simple.
Removing the mats can be moderately challenging especially if your pal has gone significantly longer than a day.
It s also extremely risky and dangerous to shave its hair.
Thus proper cut or trimming is necessary.
The maltese sheds very little and is a great breed to bring home if you are prone to allergies or love to wear black.
The maltese does not have an undercoat and their coat is often referred to as hair instead of fur.
Use your fingers to pull the mat apart and separate the hair as much as possible.
Regularly grooming your maltese pet hair will make their coat hair more manageable.
