Pet Grooming Maintenance

Many pet owners do a great job brushing the surface of the coat, but mats often form underneath close to the skin, which is why a pet can still arrive not quite ready for grooming despite regular brushing at home.

This video shows how to brush all the way to the skin, how often to do it, and which tools work best for your pet’s coat type. Proper at-home maintenance between appointments keeps your pet comfortable and helps avoid painful matting.

Why your pet may need a shave-down.

This video explains what happens when a coat becomes severely matted and why, for your pet’s comfort and health, starting fresh is sometimes the kindest option.

While we occasionally perform small amounts of de-matting, extensive de-matting can be painful, stressful, and unsafe for your pet. Our priority is always their wellbeing, not the hairstyle.

A shave-down allows the skin to breathe, prevents injury, and gives the coat a healthy reset. The good news: with regular brushing and a consistent grooming schedule, this situation can usually be avoided in the future.
