The severely matted pet. Professional groomers see these cases more often than we would like. They can be heartbreaking because we understand the pain and disease that often accompany these cases. Here are a few things to understand about matted coats:

1. Severely matted coats cannot simply be 'brushed out'. Yes, a few matts that are not matted to skin can be brushed out, but sever matting means shaving. There is not an option to 'leave the coat fluffy' because clipper blades must pass under matts not through them. This often means a very short shave.
2. When the coat is severely matted, often referred to as pelted, the coat cannot properly regulate body temperature. Both canines and felines use thermoregulation to keep the body cool or warm depending on the weather. This means the body struggles much harder to maintain normal temperature.
3. Matted coats are almost always accompanied by some type of skin disease. Matting holds excess moisture and bacteria and/or fungus near the skin. As the natural microbiome is decreased, the skin becomes susceptible to infection from these diseases.
4. Matted coats are painful and that's a fact. The extra weight pulls on the skin causing discomfort. When matting is present around legs, ears, or tail, proper movement can become impeded and painful. This is why we term this 'neglectful abuse'. This type of matting does not occur overnight.

If your pet's coat has gotten out of control, contact your professional groomer NOW. The longer you wait, the worse it will be and the more the pet suffers.

โ€œNo dogs have died from missing a walk. But dogs have died from one walk in the heatโ€ โ˜€๏ธ

The next week is looking very hot ๐Ÿฅต heat stroke is a high risk. Thereโ€™s some handy info on the pics below on what to look out for and things you can do.

At Top Dog Grooming your dogs welfare always come first whilst in my care. With these temperatures , and the dryer on , sometimes it becomes too hot to safely groom your dog. So there maybe times that I have to reschedule your appointment at short notice if I deem it to become unsafe. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ•

*Heatwave alert* Like us, animals can struggle in this hot weather. โ˜€๏ธ

Make sure your pets have plenty of fresh drinking water and shade, and avoid exercising them during the hottest part of the day. Take a look at our top tips. BSAVA

COVID-19

Due to Government restrictions and the increasing cases of COVID around Dorset I have made the decision to shut for the time being.

I will be contacting everybody, who has an existing appointment, over the next couple of weeks to re-arrange your appointment.

In the meantime, if you need any advice on grooming your dog , please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to seeing you all as soon as possible.

Stay safe and best wishes
