Mat Removal and/or Pelt Removal:
Matting and Pelting are completely different conditions so these fees are assessed separately from one another. On occasion dematting fees may apply even when removing pelts on a cat because there is typically matting on the head, legs and tail that need to be removed so there would be 2 separate fees.
Mat Removal fees may also apply when doing a lion clip because clipping through matted fur shortens their life so our blades resulting in the need to be replaced/repaired more often when shaving matted and or pelted cats.
We will only perform this service once at the standard rate, if the cat comes in a second time with severe matting or pelting again these fees will be doubled from the first visit because mats and pelts are very painful as well as 100% preventable with maintenance grooming on a regular schedule.
Continuously performing Mat Removal/Pelt Removal is cruel and inhumane any cats who become matted/pelted after the second visit will be referred to a veterinarian for services.
