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 dull’s our blades and shortens their life so our equipment has to be replaced more often when sharing 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 sever matting or pelting again these fees will be doubled 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.
