Severely matted/pelted cats starts at $250 and includes a follow up appointment.

This procedure removes the undercoat to reduce shedding, making your life less hairy!
Recommended schedule: Regular 4-8 week scheduling can reduce shedding by up to 80%.
This includes all services in the Bath and Blowout (see above) plus additional hair removal.
De-shedding is included with every service we provide, including the follow-up appointment for the Mat Removal service.
If, however, your cat is excessively shedding and we have to put in an inordinate amount of time/effort to get all of the undercoat out, there may be an additional $20 charge, which would be discussed as a possibility with you if it appears likely when you drop your cat off.
Standard grooming service for both short hair and long hair cats
Recommended frequency: every 5 to 8 weeks.
It will improve your cat’s health — and your life! — by preventing hairballs, matting, excessive shedding, messy bottoms, and ingrown toenails.
