I understand that Ranchside Veterinary Clinic puts my pet's comfort above all else. If my pet's coat is matted, I understand that the groomer may have to shave the matts out rather than perform a painful dematting procedure. I also understand that if my pet is severely matted that there is an increased risk for clipper burn or cuts to occur. I understand that all attempts will be made to prevent this, however, in many extreme mat conditions this is unavoidable. I also understand that matted pets take additional time to groom so there will be an additional fee added onto the regular grooming price if my pet's coat is matted. Shaving of pet may expose pre-existing skin problems. *
