gentle scruff
This really handsome long haired young man is called Scruff, and he lives in Shevington, Wigan, Greater Manchester.
The reason our services were called in was because Scruff had developed matted areas – mainly on his sides and chest.
Scruff is a big boy – but very timid and very jumpy and fidgety. We began by working on his sides. He was quite scared of the clipper noise and although these mats came away quite easily, we decided to halt the session and resume a few days later.
At the second sitting, we worked on clipping the underneath – his chest and armpits, mainly. It was a relief to see the mats fall away. The remaining coat was extremely thick and heavy, so we followed the clipping with a good brush out. His coat is now patchy, with some shaved areas – but boy will he feel better for it, and of course it will grow back.
Scruff now looks half the size ! Well done Scruff. We know how nervous you were and you did really well chick …
