Matted dog release

Please read the following carefully before signing.

About matted coats

Matted fur doesn’t allow air to reach the skin, which can cause hot spots, bacterial and fungal infections, and skin irritation. Fleas, ticks, and parasites can also hide deep in mats. Matting pulls and binds, causing your dog discomfort when they move or lie down.

Because of your dog’s coat condition, the only humane option is to shave the coat down close to the skin to fully remove the matting.

What to expect after the groom:the skin underneath may be red or irritated. We’ll use a medicated shampoo to help. Your dog may have small nicks because the groomer must work very close to the skin — our groomers take every precaution, but the risk exists.

Release

I understand the risks described above and authorize Nice Diggz to proceed with the dematting process, including shaving the coat down as needed. I release Nice Diggz from any liability associated with this process, including any skin irritation, minor nicks, or medical issues that arise as a result of the matted coat condition.

Should my dog require veterinary care following this service, I agree to pay all associated veterinary fees.

I acknowledge that Nice Diggz will take all reasonable care, and that any discomfort or injury risk is a direct result of the matting — not of negligence by the groomer.
