Grooming K9s

We will never shave your pet without your permission as we understand that this can be a great shock and very upsetting for the owner. However, sometimes you have to think about what is best for your pet. Please read our Grooming policy below. When a dog or cat is presented to us in a severely matted condition, it is our policy to shave the whole coat using electric clippers with a close blade. We groom HUMANELY, to de-matt would cause the animal tremendous stress and discomfort, often leaving a very thinned and damaged coat.

Shaving the coat is quicker and more gentle on the animal. Many animals are traumatised by unnecessary hours of dematting, putting them off grooming for life. We consider shaving an act of kindness. Once the coat is removed, the skin can be red due to the lack of air circulation and dirt that has accumulated underneath. Occasionally there are sores or infection, this may need veterinary treatment.
