I acknowledge that matted coats can cause pain, tight pulling of the skin, and hidden skin conditions in my pet. Severely matted coats cannot be safely brushed out and must be shaved close to the skin. I understand that shaving a matted coat involves risk including, but not limited to: nicks or cuts from clipper blades close to the skin, razor burn, itching, scratching, behavior changes, brief disorientation, skin redness, and the potential exposure of pre-existing skin conditions.
I release and hold harmless Coco Clips Dog Grooming, its owners, employees, and agents, from any and all claims, liability, or damages arising from or in connection with the dematting or shaving of my pet's coat, and I authorize the groomer to use the professional technique the groomer determines to be safest for my pet.
