Things To Note

We will not bathe your dog if it is matted.  Bathing a matted dog will cause the matting to become tighter.  We also highly suggest you don’t bathe your dog if it is matted at home or with our DIY bath setup in our lobby for the same reason.

 

Grooming is not just so that your dog will look good but so it will stay healthy.  Dog nails can curl around and grow into their paw pads if not kept trimmed on a regular basis.  Severe matting can be extremely painful to your dog during brushing.  Brushing only causes live hairs to be pulled out of the skin with excruciating pain. Even mild matting can cause your pet a great deal of pain.

 

Matting can cut off blood supply to extremities, and deny regular air circulation.  Skin denied fresh air and stimulation from regular brushing becomes quite unhealthy.  It can turn dark pink to red, be bruised from the tightness, hot spots and open sores are apt to form emitting foul odors.  Even organic matter, like weeds and stickers, can become embedded in the skin. Matts have been known to contain stool of the pet and even fly larvae that further irritate the skin. Remember, sometimes these mats and their consequences can be completely hidden from view.

 

We will gladly tell you how to maintain your pet and how to brush or comb or de-shed it for no charge. Also how often you should be seeing the groomer and what maintenance you have to do at home to make sure you can have that perfect haircut you are looking for when you come in instead of starting all over again because the dog became matted.  If you have any questions on your dog and what kind of regular grooming or maintenance it requires please feel free to ask us.

 

Some severely matted pets may require the attention of a veterinarian.
