“Can’t you just de-mat it?”
“I don’t care if they’re matted, I don’t want them shaved”
🐾
Matting is a condition in your dog's fur that is caused by dense tangles and knots (NOT BRUSHING YOUR DOG AND SAYING YOU DID). It's a painful condition that can lead to other health concerns such as infections or skin irritations and can also mask other health issues or parasites. Mats cut off the air flow in your dog's hair and can trap moisture, which can cause irritation and sores on your dog.
🐾
When your dog is matted, groomers are always gonna do what is best for your dog. In many cases, this means shaving the mats out of your dog. Shaving is not a “short cut” to get the job done quickly, it is a long and difficult process. We are working on areas of your dog where skin is thin, likely already irritated and sometimes their hair is being pulled because of tight mats. Removing a heavily matted coat includes risks of nicks, cuts, etc… Not to mention, it is very painful for your pup :(
Do not get mad at the groomer for shaving your dog because you neglected to do your part.
