Thank you, thNk you thank you! I hope the owner appreciates your work and lear to love their dog more. He might not have much more time and deserves so much better.
Getting the short part of my undercut shaved after leaving it alone for a month already feels amazing, but getting all that mess removed must feel absolutely incredible...
@Café Littéraire We don't know the full story of what happened here, its very easy to watch a snippet of a dog that was clearly way overdue a haircut, and we can all sit and speculate as to what happened, and throw accusations around or assume things but unless someone is a monster, no one would sit back and allow a pet to suffer willingly. I do agree though, the more you leave the matts the worse they get, and if needs be try to clip them out right at the start before they tangle worse, and allowing them to continue to get worse is painful for the dog. We probably won't ever know why they waited 16 months, I hope they can continue to groom him now, at 16 he's in brilliant condition so he's clearly loved.
I found a lost one a decade ago that was severely matted and starved. Gave him food,water, a warm bath and had him shaved completely the next day too. Gave him a dog sweater to keep him warm at night. I've never seen a dog more happy and playful ever in my life at the time. It's like they know who their life long friends are. Many years and a lot of chicken and veges later we've been the best of friends ever since. I was never a dog person at first but seeing a hungry dirty rag follow me home changed something in me.
Likely because of the problems matting brings to dogs. Even more likely that he may have had circulation issues. I know I would walk like that if my legs fell asleep.
likely every move was painful, being wound up so tight. it's probably like taking off all your clothes and backpack after being at university all day, or that feeling after carrying armloads of groceries alllll the way from the car and up the stairs and dropping them on the floor
That way he is moving is not natural either. He is still walking as if his paw fur was grown out and matted which would have caused him both to walk slowly for fear of slipping and painfully because of the matted fur. Given time and his paws being kept trimmed he will walk normally for a dog his size, though his leg muscles may also be atrophied from underuse too.
I dont think we should be assuming that this was due to complete neglect or that every potential dog owner is like this. There are some new dog owners who take training more seriously then people who have had animals all their lives. Some new dog owners can care for their dogs health better then some who have had animals all their lives. They can be far more diligent. We shouldn't be assuming the worst in people because you'll find them. Also it tells people that they wouldn't be good dog owners by virtue of being new. So therefore you wont find homes for dogs who need one. There is merit to assuming the best in people and not suggesting they need a warning all the time. That has every potential to deter people from owning pets too. Who knows what this dog gets into as well to make him that way. Its not always the owners fault.
@@Skatejock21 I didn't read any of that in that short little sentence at all. What I read was just a heads up sort of message, and he wasn't blaming anyone for neglecting the dog. No matter the breed, I'd want to know what I can possibly expect if I would choose this breed.
@@stevegabbert9626 exactly.. very defensive and virtue signaling ish like you knew what dude was trying say. “that has every potential from deterring people from owning pets” good? there’s tens of millions of abused animals out there, if the percent of animals owners shrieked significantly to people who were educated, willing to care for their dogs no matter life’s trials, and who were self aware about themselves that would only benefit the dogs? lol. dogs aren’t a right to have, even though it might seem like that in the first world, people truly should only own dogs who have the means to care for them, whether that be physically, mentally etc. there are a million other pets that don’t require as much care as a dog, as soon as people learn to stop being selfish and entitled and realize that. the better for society
@@elevatedvibes9769 Hey, even those supposedly lower-maintenance pets still require a certain level of care and deserve to have people who are able and willing to provide that care. But yes, I do agree that there are many different types of animals that can be kept as pets other than just a dog or cat. There's an animal that could fit almost anyone's lifestyle if they're willing to do a bit of research beforehand.
I love the fact that you educate the public about the grooming needs of different breeds. It provides a great service to all dog owners when deciding which dog is right for them. Thank you!
I've just shaved my cat. She was matted, even though we brush every day. And boy she is happy! She comes for cuddles way more as she doesn't have any pulling on her skin. 10/10 would recommend.
I got my cat professionally shaved and boy did. Regret that, she did enjoy it in the summer. I think she had a lot more energy. But since it was so traumatizing for both of us because I was there for it, I brushed the s*** out of her everyday. Lol always feeling her up for Matt's now. She has no personal space like she did when she was a kitten and she didn't like something you know. I will say after she was shaved, the second coat she grew in isn't as matted or as soft, so doesn't get as matted I guess. I hope that happens for your sweet girl or boy. 💚
I watched a RUclips video of a long-hair senior stray cat that was dumped by his previous owners when they moved. He was rescued by kind, loving senior Japanese couple and transitioned to new & better life was taking place rather slowly. Vet office staff would chop off matted hair here and there for some comfort. He had a summer hair cut at the groomer and the transformation was unbelievable! He is much happier now and acting like a kitten, playful and asking for pets quite often.
@@jyi_dyvia hey! I just didn't enjoy the groomer, and it felt like it was against her will and a violation to her. Never again unless it's absolutely necessary.
I love how you educate rather than shame. Of course, they are your customers and you want them to return but it's more than that. We don't know what the owners of these pets have been going through or are continuing to go through. It may be that an owner can become very anxious and ashamed that they've been unable to groom their beloved pet sufficiently and, in turn, be hesitant to have the dog groomed. It's good to be kind, helpful, and supportive.
She is so kind bc she grooms ALL of her clients for free. She only asks for donations to animal rescues. So her lack of shaming is just so the animal returns and gets good care.
Absolutely nailed it. People are so judgmental without knowing the circumstances. It’s hard to find kind understanding groomers. I was gifted a set of clippers so I know my dog won’t get matted like he is again but want a pro to do him the right way first. It’s been tough the last few years and we all know why.
@@susanisrael5154what you guys don’t understand is that judgement exists for a reason. If you agree to shelter, provide for, and take care of a pet that includes brushing their hair like fucking at least twice a week. It really doesn’t take much effort at all to maintain your pets coat, the only people who would be exempt from this are people with serious diseases that affect motor function like someone with Parkinson’s etc. If you own a pet, buy a $5 brush and commit 10 minutes 2x a week to taking care of your pet!!!! If you can’t maintain the most minimum efforts , you deserve to be shamed.
@@zionsimanian9310 I am a vet and I am here to say taht you dont know this persons circumstances at all. A lot of times these dogs are owned by elderly people and they might not physically be able to take their dog to a groomer. They might have gotten the dog at 65 and now they are 81. The main care giver might of had demensia or cancer that took over their lives. Or a child became very sick or someone lost their job. The point is that if someone brings their dog to a vet or a groomer, they are not abusing that animal.
I'm amazed this pooch is 16 and behaved so well. So happy that the dude is happily hopping around with the cameraman and having a big smile on his face.
The transformation from a dirty mop to a fresh pup never ceases to amaze me. You know you're doing good work when you have great, fast results like this without the dog suffering.
Sadly, I have groomed dogs in this condition. I would never had thought of shaving them with wet hair. Thank you for teaching this old dog groomer a new trick.❤️
Even I felt ‘lighter and relieved’, as I watched the little pooch prance around at the end of the video. Well done @Girl with the Dogs, I’m sure you receive tons of “animal blessings’ 😇
I recently learned about wet grooming dogs, but it never discussed doing it when a dog was matted. What a game changer! Everything you said makes so much sense! I almost can't wait to get a matted dog and give it relief from the matting. Thanks!
@@penultimateh766 If you find yourself incapable of maintaining basic responsibility for your living, breathing pet, it's better to seek an option of boarding the dog or giving it up even temporarily until a situation improves. We can't know what the situation was, but this outcome wasn't correct for the dog who ended up suffering due to negligence over a very basic thing not being completed.
I agree. I also noticed him being scared with the blow dryer too. The use of the electric shaver I can understand. However, I t hink considering his advanced age, the fact that he hadn't been to a groomer in over a year, possibly a towel dry in this rare case might have been a better option. He was shaven so close that very little hair needed to be dried anyway. The groomer may have been more concerned about him being left a little damp if she used a towel instead. He did look great afterwards.
We had a long haired cat that started to get matted when he got older (over 10) . My son watched YT videos and figured out how to fix him and shave him down in the summer heat. The cat loved it! He would just lay there and purr away while getting groomed.
You raised an excellent son! 👍Caring for an animal so much that he problem-solved and learnt a new skill, purely to help the cat be more comfortable? That's the kind of person this world needs more of! 💕 Please let him know that there are many people out here who appreciate his kindness and compassion x
I didn't know wet shaving was even a thing, great job educating people on different grooming styles they can have done that would be better for their dogs!
Debi Hilley on RUclips is a groomer with many videos on wet shaving and she has written articles on it. Theres still some wet shave specific safety to consider. You still have to careful with mixing water and electricity.
@@GotAnUmbrella Dad had a hunting dog and on occasion he would shave the fur from her pads due to hotspots or needing traction and I know he was ALWAYS worried about wet fur + electricity so he never did it. I wish youtube channels like this existed back then, it would have saved that dog so much trouble after coming in filthy.
Aw I love this. I just adopted a 13 year old Havanese, and I've always had Poms and Pom mixes so this was very educational for me. She was apparently very matted with the adoption agency got her. A few months in and she's becoming a really silly and active girl after initially being quite shy with us. I fell in love with this breed fast!
I really like that you go for a nonjudgmental, educational angle when you get dogs like these! It would be so easy to get angry and shame the owners but education will help far more in the long run
Any YT groomer who publicly shames owners are pure trash. I have called out trash groomers who do this. They don't care about the animal. They only "act enraged" for views. They know that gives then views.
Besides that, they don't know what was happening. A dog could've been lost for a fuckton of time, the dog may have belonged to someone with Alzheimer's or dementia (happens a lot, sadly, and you can't really get angry at the people, someone should've been there to make sure their pet was healthy, but not all elderly folks have that), could be a rescue that was recent surrendered, something could've happened to the owner(s) on a short notice (accidents that send someone to the hospital and whatnot could easily lead to a dog just being left with some extended family or smthn). Basically, there's enough other reasons for this sorta thing to occur that it's just not worth being a twat over, doing that helps no one really. If a groomer or kennel caretaker were to notice things about a dog that concerned them, or possibly suggested that the dog was actively being abused or harmed in some way, they wouldn't just let that happen, they'd try to figure out what's going on and help the animal if help is needed (at least, any good caretaker or groomer would).
Most would say that dog had been neglected, and it is very easy to become judgemental. However, we have no idea of the actual circumstances. She took the absolutely correct approach here to make it educational.
@@exist4046 there is literally no excuse for a dog to end up like this. cool if you don't like people getting angry about it, but typing an entire paragraph to try to excuse the behavior of the people that let this dog get like this is honestly sick.
He's 16 years old ! Wow, he looks great and his mobility looks really good as well. I can't imagine how good he must have felt after his grooming. Thank you for helping this good boy and the information you give to all of us to help our dogs. 👍
Omg I have a rescue who doesn’t shed and I had no idea what I was in for. I had to learn about dematting and trimming his snout and bangs and he gets a professional trim twice a year. So much brushing. SO MUCH
I had a Cocker spaniel, I took 5min everyday to run a brush thru her hair and she never ever had a knot...much less a mat. It easier as a everyday routine than a struggle once in a while
As a fellow groomer I would just like to mention how many good tips were given in this video! 😀 so awesome to see her extreme care for the overall comfort of this sweet old boy while shaving & double bathing him❤
the dog would be like 18 now, which isn't outside the realm of possibility. I saw a video about a Portuguese dog named Bobi who lived to be 31, who was surprisingly spry for an elderly doggo.
Makes me think of my rescue he was very matted when we first adopted him Looked like a lamb after his groom as he had to be shaved but he was so much happier after 🥰 Since he doesn't shed he gets groomed every six weeks He doesn't let us brush him at home but at a self service salon he does so I give him a bath and brush when its needed then Thankfully grooming him isn't too expensive
What a little trooper! He was shaking away on the table when he was being shaved, but not one peep came out of the sweetie. Great work👏🏼 And he looked very good for his age they way he was trotting behind the cameraman! 🥰😘 God Bless you and your furry “clients”🙏🏼♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
As a cosmetologist, I can say that using clippers on wet hair of all kinds has its benefits, for people too lol. This baby looks so much better, good job. 👍 ✌🌻💚
I'm getting a lot of clients coming in with tight mats too! I've been wet shaving for a while now and it's great that you are showing the benefits of doing it. Love your channel and your skills!
Oh my goodness 🥺 he looked like a little puppy after his groom, and he walked with so much energy. He must be so happy and feel so light without carrying all that extra weight
He's so lucky he looks like a perfectly normal, respectable gentleman after his shave, and not like a complete gremlin like some other dogs 😂 (of course they're all adorable though)
Yes he does. When I rescued my little guy he was an overgrown mess. The kennel clip I asked for turned out to be a full body shave and poor Rico looked like a big eyed rat dog.
Wow - what a difference - you can tell he feels so much better - he looks really good for 16 - I can’t believe the owners let that sweet little old guy get in such terrible, painful condition - some people just don’t deserve pets
He must feel so good now that his mats are removed and his nails got cut. Seeing how long his nails were originally I’d imagine he had a fair bit of pain while walking. Great groom!
What a precious lil bean! I can’t get over his little walk, it’s the cutest. 🥰 Poor angel, I think that how most of us looked when we got out of quarantine.
i love that you always focus on the animal's comfort and happiness, first and foremost. it means a LOT to us, especially with those who have hyper/anxious dogs
G_d, I love senior dogs. They're always the sweetest, calmest, & most deserving of kindness. Thank you for helping free this beautiful old fellow & give him a new lease on life.
I have a rescue dog that I sometimes think is a Havanese. He is 14 years old and looks just like this guy, but with a tail that curves up over his back. He is very demanding when he thinks he needs something, but is SO sweet when he isn't barking.
I appreciated hearing what she did for this beautiful pooch, how she did it, and why. All dogs deserve the best we can give them. As long as he's content, that's all that matters. Bless him for his 16 year (so far) adventure!
One of the things I enjoyed most about having a dog was sitting down with her at the end of a long day to brush out her long coat. She loved the attention, and I found it very soothing, almost meditative. I put a lot of time into socializing her and training her. She basically grew up knowing that basic grooming, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and tooth brushing were just a part of life, nothing to fear. She passed of old age nearly 17 years after I adopted her. Ironically, I've since developed allergies to dogs and cats and likely will not have another pet.
If you want a cat, I’ve had incredible success with feeding my cat purina’s “liveclear” brand-it genuinely gets rid of the allergic reaction from cats by neutralizing allergens in their saliva. my bf is super allergic to cats and used to sneeze constantly around my cat, but he has no problem ever since I started feeding him that food. so it’s possible u could have a companion
He must feel sooo much better not standing on those pebbles for pads! Thank you for showing us the wet clipping technique, I'm a groomer too and have never done it before. I will keep it up my sleeve for the next matted doggy that comes my way ❤
That was a magical transformation. I'm so glad people like you exist. People who genuinely care for animals and don't spread bad information for the sake of money. I hope blessings follow you all your days.
Aw, I'm so happy to see how much better he feels. He seems to have a spring in his step after his groom. I have so much appreciation for how thoughtful and knowledgeable you are. 🙏
What a great little guy, I bet he felt like he got two years of his life back with that haircut. I hope the owners are in a position they don't have to worry about waiting that long again. He has got a great attitude considering he must have been very uncomfortable for a long time.
I have a Maltese, he gets groomed every 4 to 6 weeks. We brush him when he stays still haha The summer isn't too bad because we keep it shorter, BUT the winter we keep it longer. We always have a blow dryer handy so we can brush and blow dry him when he comes inside from the snow. He becomes a little snowman. I'm glad this doggo got a nice refreshing cut. He looks so cute under all that hair 😍
His little trot while following your boyfriend is so adorable.

We can't know what the situation was, but this outcome wasn't correct for the dog who ended up suffering due to negligence over a very basic thing not being completed.
@@isayahsnow2767 he could have been passed on from a sick owner, you know?
He seemed to be a bit scared of the shaver, but I think his relief of being let out of his hairy prison overruled the fear.
I agree. I also noticed him being scared with the blow dryer too. The use of the electric shaver I can understand. However, I t hink considering his advanced age, the fact that he hadn't been to a groomer in over a year, possibly a towel dry in this rare case might have been a better option. He was shaven so close that very little hair needed to be dried anyway. The groomer may have been more concerned about him being left a little damp if she used a towel instead. He did look great afterwards.
The razor also tickles
He was also shaking because of the change in temperature. Imagine how hot that pelt was.
I bet he feels like he's a whole new dog. I love seeing how you treat all the animals.
We had a long haired cat that started to get matted when he got older (over 10) . My son watched YT videos and figured out how to fix him and shave him down in the summer heat. The cat loved it! He would just lay there and purr away while getting groomed.
You raised an excellent son! 👍Caring for an animal so much that he problem-solved and learnt a new skill, purely to help the cat be more comfortable? That's the kind of person this world needs more of! 💕
Please let him know that there are many people out here who appreciate his kindness and compassion x
🖤🖤🖤
I didn't know wet shaving was even a thing, great job educating people on different grooming styles they can have done that would be better for their dogs!
Debi Hilley on RUclips is a groomer with many videos on wet shaving and she has written articles on it.
Theres still some wet shave specific safety to consider. You still have to careful with mixing water and electricity.
@@GotAnUmbrella Dad had a hunting dog and on occasion he would shave the fur from her pads due to hotspots or needing traction and I know he was ALWAYS worried about wet fur + electricity so he never did it. I wish youtube channels like this existed back then, it would have saved that dog so much trouble after coming in filthy.
This was basically a DOUBLE grooming - and a great one at that! The care taken with the matting on the end of the tail says everything. 😊
You can tell the doggo knows this is helping, even though he's clearly distressed at points. Seems so relatable.
That happy trot was wonderful to see!
Yesss!
The little prance at the end. He is adorable and such a good boy
Aw I love this. I just adopted a 13 year old Havanese, and I've always had Poms and Pom mixes so this was very educational for me. She was apparently very matted with the adoption agency got her. A few months in and she's becoming a really silly and active girl after initially being quite shy with us. I fell in love with this breed fast!
I really like that you go for a nonjudgmental, educational angle when you get dogs like these! It would be so easy to get angry and shame the owners but education will help far more in the long run
Any YT groomer who publicly shames owners are pure trash. I have called out trash groomers who do this. They don't care about the animal. They only "act enraged" for views. They know that gives then views.
@@heidischultz6219 All forms of media seem to run on two themes: Fear and Anger.
Besides that, they don't know what was happening. A dog could've been lost for a fuckton of time, the dog may have belonged to someone with Alzheimer's or dementia (happens a lot, sadly, and you can't really get angry at the people, someone should've been there to make sure their pet was healthy, but not all elderly folks have that), could be a rescue that was recent surrendered, something could've happened to the owner(s) on a short notice (accidents that send someone to the hospital and whatnot could easily lead to a dog just being left with some extended family or smthn). Basically, there's enough other reasons for this sorta thing to occur that it's just not worth being a twat over, doing that helps no one really. If a groomer or kennel caretaker were to notice things about a dog that concerned them, or possibly suggested that the dog was actively being abused or harmed in some way, they wouldn't just let that happen, they'd try to figure out what's going on and help the animal if help is needed (at least, any good caretaker or groomer would).
Most would say that dog had been neglected, and it is very easy to become judgemental. However, we have no idea of the actual circumstances. She took the absolutely correct approach here to make it educational.
@@exist4046 there is literally no excuse for a dog to end up like this. cool if you don't like people getting angry about it, but typing an entire paragraph to try to excuse the behavior of the people that let this dog get like this is honestly sick.
His cute little strut after his groom is adorable!
So sad that he was left to get into such a terrible condition. What a sweet gentle boy.
He's 16 years old ! Wow, he looks great and his mobility looks really good as well. I can't imagine how good he must have felt after his grooming. Thank you for helping this good boy and the information you give to all of us to help our dogs. 👍
What a sweet old man he's gorgeous he looked very happy after his groom hard to believe he's 16 years old ❤️🐶
Omg I have a rescue who doesn’t shed and I had no idea what I was in for. I had to learn about dematting and trimming his snout and bangs and he gets a professional trim twice a year. So much brushing. SO MUCH
I had a Cocker spaniel, I took 5min everyday to run a brush thru her hair and she never ever had a knot...much less a mat. It easier as a everyday routine than a struggle once in a while
He looks so much better and he is a beautiful dog. He took his grooming very well. Awesome job.
As a fellow groomer I would just like to mention how many good tips were given in this video! 😀 so awesome to see her extreme care for the overall comfort of this sweet old boy while shaving & double bathing him❤
He's 16, but still has such a bounce in his walk! Adorable!
His lil walk is so cute!
That was one of the most radical before and after shots I've seen. He seems so much happier too!
Tell me about it! They don't even look like they're the same dog.
@@Khanmanlol probably could make 2 other versions of him with the leftover fur
poor sweet little old boy... he must feel so relieved to have all that matting cut away. his little show pony trot at the end is adorable
I hope this darling is still enjoying life. You gave him back his puppy smile.
the dog would be like 18 now, which isn't outside the realm of possibility. I saw a video about a Portuguese dog named Bobi who lived to be 31, who was surprisingly spry for an elderly doggo.
Makes me think of my rescue he was very matted when we first adopted him
Looked like a lamb after his groom as he had to be shaved but he was so much happier after 🥰
Since he doesn't shed he gets groomed every six weeks
He doesn't let us brush him at home but at a self service salon he does so I give him a bath and brush when its needed then
Thankfully grooming him isn't too expensive
What a little trooper! He was shaking away on the table when he was being shaved, but not one peep came out of the sweetie. Great work👏🏼 And he looked very good for his age they way he was trotting behind the cameraman! 🥰😘 God Bless you and your furry “clients”🙏🏼♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
I realise there is no other way to do it, but I guess it's a long time to stand for an older dog. He was so good.
Wow such a well behaved baby, he was so brave, specially during the nail clipping part. He's a cutie 💜
As a cosmetologist, I can say that using clippers on wet hair of all kinds has its benefits, for people too lol. This baby looks so much better, good job. 👍 ✌🌻💚
I mean, whenever I get my hair cut, the barber always wets it no matter if it's clipped or cut with scissors.
@@moblinmajorgeneral Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they do that because dry clean hair tends to be too slippery.
@@GeekGamer666 it’s also a lot harder to work with in general. Would you rather use a frayed rope or a tight rope
We try not to do it on dogs unless they are SEVERELY matted like this guy. Wet skin is much more delicate and can cut much easier than dry skin.
His little bouncy walk at the end 🥺 he was so happy
He is so sweet and youthful for a 16 year old boy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm getting a lot of clients coming in with tight mats too! I've been wet shaving for a while now and it's great that you are showing the benefits of doing it. Love your channel and your skills!
I love how Vanessa explains what she's doing and in particular why it makes sense to do it that way, contrary to conventional wisdom.
I have a bichon havanese and grooming is SO IMPORTANT!
Oh my goodness 🥺 he looked like a little puppy after his groom, and he walked with so much energy. He must be so happy and feel so light without carrying all that extra weight
he looks so much happier after his groom!🥰
He does, he has a literal bounce in his step. 🙂
Seemed more like a rescue than a grooming. Sweet little dog.
He's so lucky he looks like a perfectly normal, respectable gentleman after his shave, and not like a complete gremlin like some other dogs 😂 (of course they're all adorable though)
like my dog😭😭
Yeah, like babies, dogs are not always "cute", but they're all lovable. ❤
Yes he does. When I rescued my little guy he was an overgrown mess. The kennel clip I asked for turned out to be a full body shave and poor Rico looked like a big eyed rat dog.
He's a very youthful sixteen years old! What a beautiful, sweet dog. I love how he was following the cameraman around, so cute! :)
What an adorable pup. I cant imagine the relief he must have felt as you removed that off him.
What a good boy! He is so sweet and well-behaved! I bet he feels like a whole new critter now!
The doggy was feeling himself after the glow up and went after the camera guy. Who hasn't been there and done that? So cute!
Wow - what a difference - you can tell he feels so much better - he looks really good for 16 - I can’t believe the owners let that sweet little old guy get in such terrible, painful condition - some people just don’t deserve pets
@5:42, he's bouncing as he walks down the hall. A bit happy I would say. Thank you Vanessa for the upload. Always a fun stop by. 🐶 👍
He must feel so good now that his mats are removed and his nails got cut. Seeing how long his nails were originally I’d imagine he had a fair bit of pain while walking. Great groom!
I would imagine his toes felt bruised.
I think Havanese are the sweetest dogs! Thank you for helping this sweet boy feel sooooo much better!!!!
What a precious lil bean! I can’t get over his little walk, it’s the cutest. 🥰
Poor angel, I think that how most of us looked when we got out of quarantine.
Sadly, I didn't look that good. And it took more than a couple of hours at the groomer to put the bounce back in my step.
@@NoOne-bp2jw 😋
i love that you always focus on the animal's comfort and happiness, first and foremost. it means a LOT to us, especially with those who have hyper/anxious dogs
Oh, yes! My (ex stray) dog has it, and it really means a lot🙂
Wanna know how messed up humans are? We gave wolves anxiety...
G_d, I love senior dogs. They're always the sweetest, calmest, & most deserving of kindness. Thank you for helping free this beautiful old fellow & give him a new lease on life.
For the amount of pain this wee soul must have been in, he was so well behaved, bless his heart 💛💛💛
WOW, what a change! He must be feeling so much better. I love his little trotty walk after the cameraman, how sweet!
Omg I love his bouncy walk. That's so awesome; he looks like he feels so much better!
He looks so much better. Poor little guy.
I love How she educate people on gromming, animal breeds and stuff
He was sooo cute trotting after the camera man 😭🥰
He's so cute. The way he pranced around after the camera man just melted my ❤️
Do you have a dog?
What a good boy, no arguing with the stylist.
Havanese are just the most sweet natured floofs! I’d never be without one now
Same! I can't imagine not having one!
I have a rescue dog that I sometimes think is a Havanese. He is 14 years old and looks just like this guy, but with a tail that curves up over his back. He is very demanding when he thinks he needs something, but is SO sweet when he isn't barking.
I love the walk.... He had a skip in his step walking all around the shop.... So cute... 🥰
Aww he's such a sweet old man. He looks so much better! I love his little walk
I appreciated hearing what she did for this beautiful pooch, how she did it, and why. All dogs deserve the best we can give them. As long as he's content, that's all that matters. Bless him for his 16 year (so far) adventure!
Once again you gave dignity back to a dog! Thank you for being a wonderful fairy dogmother!❤
What a sweet boy! He seems visibly relieved.
You’re the best for making him better! 🥰 I bet he’s way more happy now
I have a havanese. She’s 7. Glad to see I’ll have many more years with her
He is such a good boy. He looks like such a sweet boy, I’m glad that he’s feeling better.
I love his little prance at the end!! He must feel so much better it's amazing!!
How many days do you have?
One of the things I enjoyed most about having a dog was sitting down with her at the end of a long day to brush out her long coat. She loved the attention, and I found it very soothing, almost meditative. I put a lot of time into socializing her and training her. She basically grew up knowing that basic grooming, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and tooth brushing were just a part of life, nothing to fear. She passed of old age nearly 17 years after I adopted her. Ironically, I've since developed allergies to dogs and cats and likely will not have another pet.
I'm sorry to hear that. Life can suck pretty bad, but my cats keep me going more than anything.
If you want a cat, I’ve had incredible success with feeding my cat purina’s “liveclear” brand-it genuinely gets rid of the allergic reaction from cats by neutralizing allergens in their saliva. my bf is super allergic to cats and used to sneeze constantly around my cat, but he has no problem ever since I started feeding him that food. so it’s possible u could have a companion
He's so adorable. Hard to believe he's 16 with his youthful appearance! He is such a good boy!
He must feel sooo much better not standing on those pebbles for pads! Thank you for showing us the wet clipping technique, I'm a groomer too and have never done it before. I will keep it up my sleeve for the next matted doggy that comes my way ❤
That had to have been so uncomfortable 😣 I'm glad he feels better. He was so brave and sweet
WOW! He looks better and I bet he must feel better!
That was a magical transformation. I'm so glad people like you exist. People who genuinely care for animals and don't spread bad information for the sake of money. I hope blessings follow you all your days.
What a cutie pie!
Aw, I'm so happy to see how much better he feels. He seems to have a spring in his step after his groom. I have so much appreciation for how thoughtful and knowledgeable you are. 🙏
What a great little guy, I bet he felt like he got two years of his life back with that haircut. I hope the owners are in a position they don't have to worry about waiting that long again. He has got a great attitude considering he must have been very uncomfortable for a long time.
Poor little sweetheart. So glad you could give him a proper grooming.
I have a Maltese, he gets groomed every 4 to 6 weeks. We brush him when he stays still haha The summer isn't too bad because we keep it shorter, BUT the winter we keep it longer. We always have a blow dryer handy so we can brush and blow dry him when he comes inside from the snow. He becomes a little snowman. I'm glad this doggo got a nice refreshing cut. He looks so cute under all that hair 😍
What a sweet little old man! ❤Hope he never has to experience that kind of matting again!
Poor old guy. Thank you so much. Bless you Groomer.
