De-matting

Matted fur pulls at the skin and hides sores. Mats are worked out or carefully cut away, comfort first.

Final price depends on size, breed, coat condition and how your pet copes on the day. You always get the exact price before anything starts.

What this actually involves

Brushing heavy matting out hurts, so it is often kinder to take the coat short and start again, and with bunnies and cats, whose skin tears easily, it is frequently the only safe option. Taylor checks how deep the matting goes, works out what she can, removes what she cannot, and looks at the skin underneath. Severe cases sometimes need more than one session, and she will say so rather than push your pet too far in one visit. She will always call before changing the plan.

What's included

  • Assessment of how deep the matting goes
  • Mats worked out or safely removed
  • Skin checked underneath
  • Split across visits when that is kinder

Not sure this is the right one?

Describe your pet and what is going on, Taylor will tell you what they actually need, even when that is less than you asked for.

About de-matting

Why is de-matting sometimes a shave-down instead?
Because a tight mat is attached to the skin. Pulling it out hurts, and hours of it hurts a lot. Where the coat is past brushing, taking it off short and growing it back properly is the humane answer.
Will you tell me before shaving my pet?
Always. You get a call before anything changes from what you booked. Nothing happens to your animal that you did not agree to.

Ready when your pet is.

Send a booking request and she will confirm a time that works.
