Mats can be difficult to remove and may require pet to be shaved. Removing a heavily matted coat can cause nicks, cuts or abrasions. Heavy matting can also trap moisture and urine near the pet’s skin, fungus, bacteria or mold to grow, and/or revealing skin irritations that existed prior to the grooming process. After-effects of mat removal can include redness, itchiness, self-inflicted irritations, or abrasions, and failure of hair to regrow. In some cases, pets may also exhibit brief behavioral changes. The owner hereby releases Waggerstown and its groomers from any liability associated with any and all injuries or medical problems that may be uncovered and/or occur during the stripping and de-matting process. Should a pet need veterinarian care after or during the process of de-matting, the owner agrees to pay any and all veterinarian fees.
