De-matting a coat will depend on the condition of the coat. We will only de-mat areas that are safe and humane.

Matting refers to dogs that have excessive tangles, clumping and knots of hair and coat. It is commonly found on ears, armpits and tails but is not limited to those areas. Every area of the dog has the potential to have matting. De-matting can be a very uncomfortable and potentially painful experience for the animal. We recommend that if the mats are too tight to the skin and cannot be brushed out, shaving is the only safe and humane option. Extreme matting cuts circulation off to the skin. When the mat is released and the skin is able to breathe again there is a risk that the skin could form a bruise or hematoma. There is a higher risk of nicks and cuts because skin is potentially pulled too tight by the mat. Other skin irritations can occur under shaving mats, revealing sores, scabs and dry skin. This process is extremely delicate and requires immense skill.

​

Coat pelt refers to an animal that is entirely encased in matting. The animal will require shaving underneath the matting to relieve the coat humanely. This requires the coat to be shaved pre-bath which puts groomer's blades and clippers through a dirty coat. Dirty coats put more strain on tools and can easily ruin blades quickly. This process requires a lot of knowledge in dog anatomy and the ability to safely remove the pelting.   

​

Impacted coat is found in double coated breeds that have heavy seasonal molting. It is the soft and dense fur that peeks through the longer guard hairs of the top coat. When the coat is not brushed regularly it becomes impacted and matted which prevents air from being able to move between the dog's topcoat and their skin. Heavy impaction requires double or even triple the amount of work and skill to get the coat healthy and functioning again.
