Grooming gallery’s response to the resent negative comments about someone getting their dog shaved down. When you bring a matted dog into any grooming shop the most humane way and only way to handle it is to shave the hair off. It’s too bad a dog has to ever get matted but it happens and at that point it needs to be cared for. It’s actually pretty difficult and dangerous to have to shave a matted dog and there can easily be nicks and irritation and hematomas can form at the tips of the ears from irritation from shaking the head. It’s obviously best to never let your dog get this matted but when it does please address the problem and provide your dog some relief of the mats, filth, trapped heat and bugs and please don’t shame your groomer for caring for your animal, we never shame you for bringing in your pelted to the bone animal we are just happy to give your dog a fresh start,
