ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
MATTED
COATS
Matts are often painful and can compromise the integrity of the skin, making it more sensitive and easier to tear, scratch 0r irritate.
If matting/knots are extensive, shaving the coat very short is the most humane option.
De-matting safely and carefully takes time is hard on equipment and will incur extra charges.
Reducing matts can be prevented by brushing your pet at home and bringing it for regular grooming.
Double Coats
Double-coated breeds have two layers to protect against arctic weather. The long guard hairs form the outer layer and protect against snow/ice and they shed water. The soft undercoat lies close to the skin and keeps your dog warm and dry. In summer, your dog should shed its soft undercoat, leaving mainly the guard hairs. The job of the guard hairs in warm weather is to protect your dog from sunburn and insulate him against the heat. We can help with the shedding and will get much more out than what would naturally occur.
Fleas
We take fleas in our grooming areas very seriously, especially the possibility of spreading fleas to other people's dogs. KW Clip'n'Brush reserves the right to refuse to groom your dog if it is found to have an excessive flea infestation. If your dog is found to have fleas, your dog will be bathed immediately with flea shampoo treatment and this cost will be added to the price. This treatment and cost is non-negotiable. If your dog has an excessive flea burden, you will be asked to collect your dog and an additional charge of $50 will be added to the price of the groom to contribute to the cost of fumigating the area.
