What do customers ask about Mat Removal and Dematting?

Common questions and tips from our work with Old Mill Creek customers.

Do you have to shave my dog to remove mats?

Not always. We try a humane comb-out first, working small sections loose with a dematting comb and detangling spray. If a mat is pulled tight against the skin, shaving that spot is actually kinder, because forcing a comb through it hurts. Around Old Mill Creek we see a lot of poodle mixes and long-haired cats, and most of them leave with their coat intact.

How long does a dematting appointment take?

Most mat removal visits run one to three hours depending on how tight the mats are and how your pet handles the work. A few small knots behind the ears might take twenty minutes. A full coat of tangles takes longer, and we go at your pet's pace rather than rushing them through it.
