A mat is basically a tangle of hair that has formed a knot tight enough to resist brushing and combing. . When the matting is very severe the only solution may be to shave them. In some cases, the matts can be brushed out, but it is a long stressful and sometimes painful experience for the dog. We do not recommend de-matting for older pets and first-time grooming puppies. Please check our pricing for dematting fees.

Believe it or not, dogs feed off of the energy of their owners. This makes the dog excitable and more time consuming to groom. More importantly, we cannot be liable for personal injury of a curious dog owner in a busy shop. So respectfully, we will have to ask you to wait outside until we are completely finished.
