How To Conquer The Matting Issue In Long Haired Dogs
Sandy Schneider asked:
How do mats happen? What can we do to prevent them? And how to we get them out?
Left in its natural state, the hair in our dog’s coat gets little tangles just from normal, daily activity. Just rolling and rooting around leads to tangles!
Scratching also creates tangles. For health reasons, the cause of chronic itching and scratching needs to be identified and solved. Another huge benefit of eliminating the need to scratch will be fewer tangles!
Another tangle maker is doggie clothing. Whether the doggie “duds” are worn for fun (cute outfits),or function (coats and sweaters), a quick brush job is in order after “undressing” our furry pals. This will eliminate tangles created as the hair rubbed against the clothing.
Unless these little tangles are brushed out, they get snarled together. Dead, shedding hair gets added to the snarls, making them bigger and thicker.
Dead, shedding hair is an issue for all long haired breeds. However, it is much more of an issue for the breeds with under-coats. Some breeds such as the Bichon Frise, the Bolognese, and the Havenese are double coated; that is these three Bichon breeds have both a top coat and an under-coat. By contrast, the Coton de Tulears, Lowchens, and Maltese are single coated breeds, because they have no under-coat.
To re-cap: regular brushing is important for preventing matting for a couple of reasons. It eliminates tangles. It also gets rid of the dead, shedding hair that adds to the snarls.
Without routine grooming tangles grow into mats. Mats are simply dense clusters of snarls and dead hair.
So while simple combing and brushing can prevent mats, these procedures are not effective for getting rid of mats.
Unfortunately wetting mats with water tighens them. So washing your little dog before getting rid of the mats first, only make things worse. This also applies to tangles; if they aren’t brushed out first, bathing makes them bigger and tighter.
Severe matting has additional problems. As hair farther from the original tangle becomes part of the mat, the skin underneath can be pulled. This can be extremely painful! Skin irritations and even ulcerated skin can result from the constant pulling.
Mats are most likely to form in these areas: behind the ears, under the collar, underneath the front legs (the “armpit area”), in the groin area, between the hind legs, and on the backs of the hind legs. Routine grooming should always include attention to these areas, with the best plan being to get small tangles out before they grow into mats.
Unfortunately, there are no “magic” formulas for eliminating well-developed mats. For heavily matted conditions that involve mats larger than an adult thumb, it’s probably advisable to consult a professional groomer.
The good news is that there are some “tricks” for working on mats that can help one make the most of the time while minimizing discomfort and the hair loss for your little buddy.
Now that we know how mats develop, where they are most likely to crop up, and how to prevent them we’ll learn some of the “tricks” for conquering them.
We’ll start with the simplest of these “tricks” that involve a minimum of special grooming tools: a slicker brush, a metal comb, and your fingers.
First mentally note where the mats are. Choose and work with a small area at a time. It can be helpful to have some tiny treats on hand to occasionally reward your little one for accepting this grooming situation.
Keep de-matting sessions short. Give your little pal frequent breaks to play and have some fun with you. It’s better to have several 10-minute sessions than work for a solid hour.
To begin the “mat attach,” gently brush around the mat to get loose, dead hair out of the coat. “Slicker brushes” work well for this as they are designed to be easy on the coat while helping to remove tangles, dead hair, and excess undercoat.
Next, pull the mat apart with your fingers. This process helps to loosen the matted hair. This pulling action should be from the center of the mat outwards so that your hands pull from the opposite directions. Take care not to do any pulling away from your little buddy’s body as this would be quite painful.
After pulling the mat in opposite directions with from the left and from the right, change your pulling angle. Now pull the mat in opposite directions from above and below. Again, remember not to pull any hair away from the body because this would hurt!
Often mats can be pulled a part several times just by working at them with your fingers. The smaller that they can be divided, the more effective a metal comb and slicker brush are likely to be.
After separating the mat as much as possible with our fingers, use a metal comb. With one hand, hold the mat very close to your little buddy’s skin to prevent painful pulling. Start by gently combing very close to the outer end of the mat. If combing successfully works to untangle the end of the mat, very gradually comb closer and closer to the body.
Another word of caution: combing depth should also be done progressively. Avoid trying to comb through the entire thickness of the mat at once. That kind of pulling translates into major pain! Instead, work with a light touch.
Follow-up combing with gentle strokes of the slicker brush.
It may be necessary to recycle through this 3 step process again if the mat smaller, but still not gone.
In summary, there is a simple sequence for successfully conquering basic mats:
*Pull the mat a part in opposite directions with your fingers to make it smaller and more manageable. *Hold the mat next to the skin with one hand and work on the mat with a metal comb, using your other hand.
*Brush the hair gently with a slicker brush.
So far we’ve covered how mats develop, how to prevent them, and how to “conquer” simple mats.
Many thicker mats require more than just your fingers, a metal comb, and a slicker brush. There are several tools that are helpful when tackling these bigger, more stubborn mats.
Here we’ll explain these “mat cracking” tools. Although they are designed to get at the root of the problem, remember to always begin by brushing around these tougher mats. This will get out any loose, dead hair that can complicate the task.
Mat rakes, or mat combs, have a row of widely spaced “teeth.” These “teeth” are actually razor sharp stainless steel blades. They have blunted safety tips on the ends of each blade.
Mat rakes are designed to slowly “saw” through each mat. The recommended technique is to start working at the outer end of the mat. (This is the end farthest from the skin). Then, working with a light touch, gradually use the mat rake closer to the inner part of the mat (nearer the body of the dog).
After using a mat rake or mat comb on the most superficial level of the mat, brush gently to get rid of any loose or dead hair. Next, pull the mat in opposite directions with your fingers again to see if can be worked a part manually.
Repeat this process, but little by little, work a little deeper into the mat with the mat rake or mat comb. Each time one slices through a layer of hair in the mat, follow up with brushing, and then finger pulling. When using any of these tools, take special care to hold the mat next to the dog’s skin with your opposite hand to prevent painful pulling.
Mat splitters are a single-bladed tool designed to gradually slice through mats. Again, precautions must be taken not to pull or poke that tender skin!
When using a mat splitter, remember to work from the outer end very gradually in toward the skin. Also work lightly, very gradually slicing deeper into the matted hair, layer by layer. Gently brush the mat after each cut is made. As a few hairs are cut at a time, the mat will hopefully loosen enough to allow some successful brushing and finger pulling. By progressing in this way, the goal is to “finish” the job with no more hair loss than necessary.
The coat-king is a multipurpose tool. It has a row of curved, blunted teeth. There are razor-sharp blades between these teeth.
While mat-kings are designed for dematting long haired dogs, they are also intended for stripping undercoats. Undercoat stripping is not recommended for dogs of any variety! So care should be taken to use a very light touch with this tool so as not to remove more hair than necessary.
Sometimes mats are too large and thick for basic tools to “conquer.” (This is often the case with “rescued dogs).
At this point, a professional groomer is needed. Shaving will probably be necessary to get rid of these mats.
After shaving, the hair remaining will be very short and lie next to the skin. Grooming is, nevertheless, very important during this time when the hair is growing back.
Take a couple of minutes each day to gently stroke your dog all over with a very soft-bristled baby brush. This will accomplish 3 major things. First it will accustom your little pal to painless, brief brushing. Secondly, as the hair grows, it will easily prevent tiny tangles from ever developing into mats. Finally it will help the 2-legged part of this “partnership” get into a habit that will easily prevent mats from ever developing again.
Our little buddies depend on us for their well-being and care. We owe it to them to be the best care-givers possible. Hopefully this information on conquering mats will help you and enrich the lives of those little souls in your care.

The Promotional Mouse Mat is a Great Modern Marketing Idea
Tina Rinaudo asked:
In the past, perhaps as many as 75 years ago, many businesses looking for a way to advertise themselves were limited to newspapers, flyers and perhaps those with a little more cash flow were able to purchase premium air time from the local radio stations. Coming up with a novel way to promote their services took an upward swing with the advent of merchandise give-aways. This novel idea was heartily welcomed by the purchasing public, who at that time was not as accustomed to the concept of gathering promotional trinkets. What a great idea for the times! Now, many years later, the free merchandise give-away has become a standard avenue of travel for the marketing-minded business person- and with most companies, offices and homes using computer technology on an everyday basis, the promotional mouse mat makes perfect sense.
It is almost unheard of today to find a business that is not run with the help of a computer. Because of this, it provides the perfect introduction for using mouse mats as a means to get the word out about your business. In competition with other free marketing items that are used, mouse mats come out ahead of many of them because of the widespread fact of the computer-dependent office. There are many advantages to choosing the mouse mat as your promotional item over some of the others available.
One of the primary advantages for using promotional mouse mats is the simple fact of how often they are out in the open and used. One of the key reasons a promotional item is chosen is because of the ability it has to enhance company name recognition. The number of hours that someone sits at a computer, both at the office and at home, is increasing daily. Each time the mouse appliance is manipulated over the mouse mat is an opportunity for the user to look down and see a logo, name or other identifiable marking that will market your business.
Besides being in a prime location for countless detection many times of day, the mouse mat also serves a function that is practical and necessary. Ever try to use a mouse attachment to your computer without the aid of a mouse mat? It is not the easiest or smoothest thing to do. The friction of the bare mouse against the plain work surface can be a cause for cursor inaccuracy and the potential for costly mistakes to occur.
Depending on the type of desk top or work surface that is being used, a mouse mat can afford a layer of protection for that area. The act of covering the exterior of the desk can keep it cleaner plus add to the likelihood of keeping it scratch and mar free. These mats can also be created with eye-catching designs and colors which will make them a welcome addition to someone’s desk top.
Prime location, practicality and attractiveness-the mouse mat makes for great marketing potential for your business. Start thinking of mouse mats as the ideal promotional product for your company to go along with the age of the computer, which is definitely here to stay.

Mats or ideas for workers who stand on their feet all day?
Cecilia asked:
I’m a teacher who ends up standing on her feet all day long usually. My school’s flooring is made up of unleveled concrete. My feet swell and hurt by the end of the day. Does anyone know of a place that sells those rubber padded mats that they use at Walmart? By the way Walmart doesn’t sell them, I’m talking about the ones the workers stand on sometimes. If you have any other ideas of what I might do to keep my feet from hurting leave an idea. I already where orthopedic shoes.

Car Mats: a True Value Enhancer
Garry Kelkar asked:
One of the most utility products around are mats. Supremely useful, they render a number of services. For starters they protect the car from dirt and water. It is easy to think that if water seeps into the car and if it does not have the protection car floor mats then the damage that it can inflict on the car can easily be understood. It would also leave the car very dirty. Car mats also protect the car from dust etc. Then again it is not that car mats only give protection to cars but they also add comfort to the vehicle as well. For starters they provide cushion to the feet and prevent them from the jarring of hard car floor. Then again the heat generated from the car floor is also observed by these mats which also allow people to sit in comfort.
However, to gain from these mats people would ensure that they take care of a few points. Firstly they must ensure that they regularly wash and wipe the mats. People would also do well to ensure that they do not put any sharp edged object on the mat as they can damage the mat. These precautions are an absolute must if one wants that these mats contribute for a long time.
However, in today’s time when the market is studded with car mats it is imperative that people exercise extreme caution before opting for any particular type. A thorough check of all types of car mats available would go a long way in helping people buy a product that would give them complete satisfaction. Advent of Internet has further ensured that people get the opportunity to scan all types of offer available sitting at their homes.
A slight precaution here can actually go a long way in ensuring that people are able to buy car mats or car floor mats which would go a long way in ensuring that one is able to keep his dream possession clean and derive maximum comfort from it.
