Please note: Our Dematting Policy has been copied by other groomers in the area. As taken off our website!!!! 24) Scruffy 2 Fluffy Pet Parlour - DE-MATTING POLICY- We groom humanely at Scruffy 2 Fluffy Pet Parlour. We will ATTEMPT to de-mat a coat if we feel that the animal will not suffer pain. We have specialist tools in the parlour & this will be our first port of call before considering shaving that part of the coat. However we will abide by the Animal Welfare Act. It is the OWNERS duty of care towards their pet & to maintain their pets coat between professional groomings. If owners fail to attend to their pet’s coat, then in the interests of the animal, we will shave off matted areas to prevent unnecessary suffering. We will be more than happy to show you how to look after your dog’s coat.When a dog is presented to us in a severely matted condition, it is our policy to shave the whole coat using electric clippers with a close blade. To de-matt would cause the animal tremendous stress and discomfort, often leaving a very thinned and damaged coat. Shaving the coat is quicker and gentler on the animal. Many animals are traumatised by unnecessary hours of de-matting, putting them off grooming for life. We consider shaving an act of kindness. NOTE: DEMATTING CAN BE A LENGTHY & TEDIOUS EXERCISE FOR BOTH THE GROOMER AND THE DOG & ADDITIONAL TIME WILL HAVE TO BE CHARGED FOR TO COMPENSATE FOR LOSS OF AVAILABLE BOOKING SLOTS FOR OUR OTHER CLIENTS AND NEW CUSTOMERS.
