A matted dog is not always a complete shave down. Some could say I specialize in saving coat length. whereas Ms. Ruby likely would have been shaved bald due to matting, I took extra time and worked some magic and was able to save a little over a quarter inch of hair. I'd say that's a win. No completely bald puppy and little length left to ease her transition from such a long coat to a ton shorter. Before, during, and after photos for your viewing pleasure.
Edited to add: this is done completely without dematting so totally humane in every aspect. In fact, I was happy to spend the extra time with her to build table confidence.
