I get my long haired cat shaved at our vet’s office. If we don’t, she mats no matter what we do. The vet techs were able to shave my grumpy kitty without issue and if we do it at home, we’re bleeding profusely at only just a patch done. Like my vet, your vet could give something like Ativan to calm them if needed. I would suggest going your vet!

Probably a good case for shaving under sedation. ):

I have a rescue with similar issues. I recommend talking to your vet about sedation meds. Also, get a good, comfortable muzzle. Training with the muzzle is a must, make it a positive experience rather than a punishment. I use a Baskerville black rubber muzzle that's like a basket so my dog can be given treats and drink while wearing it.

Good luck!

I haven't tried her because we are still working on conditioning him to the brush at home, but I keep getting info about Grooming by Courtney when I ask about grooming for my nervous guy!
