Here at Bloomingtails we prefer not to shave your dog if we can help it. In some cases, a dog’s coat can get so tangled that it’s not possible to safely brush through, leaving the groomer with no choice but to shave the hair off. The length of the haircut will depend on how much space there is between the matt and the skin’s surface. Matts usually tend to be very close to the skin, making the cut shorter than you may like. The only way to avoid this from happening again is to brush your dog regularly and have them groomed every 6-8 weeks.
Excessive de-matting can be uncomfortable for your pet. We are only interested in the well being of your furry family member above all else, we will not attempt to de-matt excessive matting. We will assess each case individually and discuss options with you. We NEVER shave a dog without consulting you first. We will come up with the best plan together.
