This is why staying on a regular grooming schedule is so important 🐾
This sweet pup came in severely pelted—meaning the coat was completely matted down to the skin. At this point, brushing it out is not an option without causing pain. The only safe and humane choice is a full shave-down.
Matting like this isn’t just about appearance. It can cause:
• Constant pulling and discomfort
• Skin irritation and bruising
• Trapped moisture leading to infections
• Hidden sores or skin issues underneath
Once the coat was removed, you could immediately tell there was relief—but situations like this are completely preventable.
✨ The best thing you can do for your dog is keep them on a consistent grooming schedule (every 4–8 weeks). This keeps their coat healthy, comfortable, and avoids situations like this altogether.
As a reminder, I now require all clients to stay on a regular schedule to ensure every dog receives the care they deserve 💛
If you’re unsure what schedule is best for your dog, I’m happy to help guide you.
