I think it depends on how big the mat actually is...with our dog (who has a really wiry coat that mats quickly), we can usually get the smaller mats out just by carefully brushing him. Right now we're using a slicker brush, which really does seem to help with the wiry coat. Occasionally I'll use a detangling solution on the area before we brush.
The larger mats - ugh. So much more challenging. We have used clippers to zap them, but if you aren't used to using them please be careful! In many cases, it is better to let a groomer take care of the big mats.
By far the best thing to do is prevent the mats from ever forming. If it is a serious matting situation, your best option may be to have your dog shaved by a professional groomer.
