IMPORTANT NOTICES
MATTED DOG GUIDELINES
Your dog’s health, comfort and welfare will always come first at Groomyz.
​
In line with the Animal Welfare Act, dogs with severe matting that cannot be brushed out safely will need to be clipped shorter than the usual preferred length or style. Please note that additional charges may apply.
​
Attempting to brush out heavy matting can cause significant discomfort or pain. For this reason, clipping is often the most humane and stress-free option.
​
Where matting is mild or localised, I will assess the coat on a case-by-case basis and may offer careful brush-outs where appropriate.
​
I truly value you as a client, and the well-being of your beloved pet is always my top priority. My aim is for every dog to enjoy their grooming session and leave feeling calm, comfortable and happy.
​
Additional charges may include:
-
Excessive knots fee: £10
-
Shaved matted coat fee: £10
