it’s a health risk, trapping dirt, moisture, and parasites near your pet’s skin. Beyond causing discomfort, mats can lead to skin infections and hide serious health issues.
Expectations after a grooming session? If your dog’s fur was severely matted, the groomer may need to shave it down completely. It’s not just about aesthetics; sometimes shaving is the safest option to avoid further pain or injury. It can be a shock for the owner, but it’s vital for the dog’s comfort and health. After a shave, expect a good-natured but possibly chilly pup and some post-grooming skin sensitivity.
Regular brushing is a must to avoid mats in the future. Ready to make brushing a habit?
