Pampered Pupz of St. Johns takes matting very seriously. Matting is when the hair gets all tangled up sometimes with dirt and water and sticks together. Over time, mats can cause skin irritation which is painful to your pup. When dogs have mats, these must be removed prior to washing or grooming. If matting is extensive, it can require a full shave down to rectify the issue. When you bathe a dog with mats and do not address the mats themselves, you are only compounding the problem. Matting means that your groomer will need to take additional time with your pup to ensure their safety and comfort. This can also add to the overall cost of your pup’s grooming. Matting can be minimized with brushing on a regular basis and quality professional grooming. Keeping your pup’s coat free from matting will make a happier and healthier quality of life.
