Medium Dematting

.Dematting is the careful removal of tangles and knots from the hair of the dog.  Mats can tighten over time, leading to discomfort and pain for the animal. Moreover, these mats can suffocate and weaken the skin, preventing the natural flow of air and essential moisture to the skin and underlying tissues. This service will provide 30 minutes of brush out around ears, underarms and tail

All size dogs, add on: $50

Make an Appointment today

Severe Dematting

For severe cases of matting. Includes: 2 full baths to help with demating and opening up the coat, deep conditioning, and skin soothing lotion. Dogs need to be dropped off at 10 AM, and picked up by 5 PM. They will be let out to potty, and given water.

Some dogs will have to come back the following day to finish the grooming portion of the appointment. 

All size dogs: $200 for 2 hours, $300 for 2 hours.

Nail Clipping vs Nail Filing

At The Doodle Inc., we prefer nail filing as it is gentler on the dogs. Here are some of the reasons why:

Nail Clipping:

Tools:
Clippers designed for dog nails, which can be either guillotine-style or scissor-style.

Technique:

  • The groomer positions the clipper around the nail, ensuring they avoid the quick (the sensitive part inside the nail that contains nerves and blood vessels).
  • The nail is clipped in a single, swift motion.

Pros:

  • Quick and efficient, making it suitable for dogs that are comfortable with the process.
  • Effective for reducing nail length rapidly.

Cons:

  • Risk of cutting the quick, which can cause pain and bleeding.
  • Can leave sharp edges, which might need additional filing to smooth out.
  • Some dogs may be anxious or frightened by the sound and pressure of clipping.

Nail Filing:

Tools:

Manual nail files or electric rotary tools like a Dremel.

Technique:

  • The groomer gradually files down the nail, smoothing it out and avoiding the quick.
  • This process is typically done in multiple, gentle passes rather than a single cut.

Pros:

  • Lower risk of injuring the quick because the process is more gradual.
  • Smoother edges, which can be more comfortable for the dog and reduce the risk of scratches.
  • Can be less stressful for some dogs, especially those who are sensitive to clippers.

Cons:

  • More time-consuming compared to clipping.
  • Some dogs might be scared by the noise of electric files.
  • Manual filing can be physically demanding for the groomer, especially with large dogs or thick nails.

Blow Drying vs Towel Drying

Blow-drying is more efficient and thorough, removing moisture quickly and reducing the risk of matting, especially in long-haired breeds. Towel drying, while gentler and quieter, often leaves the coat damp, which can lead to discomfort and potential skin issues. Blow-drying also allows for better styling and fluffing of the dog’s coat. At The Doodle Inc., we have chosen not to offer towel drying because we are committed to delivering top-notch results.
