    People, Vanessa makes these grooming sessions look easy. I like animals, but: bathing them, knowing the proper techniques, dealing with highly volatile temperaments, knowing how to salvage an undercoat, expensive equipment, specialty equipment, animal hair/dander, the chance you’ll get injured, the chance you’ll injure a pet, renting space, clean up, etc. - and that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I believe Vanessa is one of the best in the world when it comes to pet grooming. Her instincts are spot on and she obviously does an incredible job on all her clients’ cuts/styles as well as on their baths/showers. Props to her and her talent.👏👏👏👏👏 We have the privilege of getting to watch the transformations on a weekly basis.

    In her later years my cat was not able to keep herself clean on her own. She had a few flea baths in her youth so we knew she was not a fan. I found the double sink in my kitchen was really helpful. I would fill one side high enough that her shoulders would be covered, when I switched from warm water to almost hot she suddenly decided it wasn’t quite so bad. By putting her in the full sink it was easy and quick to get her wet to the skin. Then lifted her to the empty sink applied shampoo and lathered. I would do the first rinse with the faucet hose and then put her back in the full sink rub her all over then back to the empty sink for another hose rinse and done. Got to the point where all this could be accomplished in under ten minutes. The full sink and hotish water really made a difference. Love your videos.

    As a mother of a similarly patterned b&w cat, I can confirm he is a very sheddy boy! Whenever i take him to visit my parents 2 hours away, we have to have the following system in place: fluffy floor mat on my lap, brushy grooming glove on and petting constantly, and Not Another D&D Podcast on. He will meow and pant if anything else is playing. When we arrive 2 hours later to our destination, I'm covered in hair and the grooming glove is full. Sometimes i even empty it mid-ride and fill it again. Meanwhile my kitten sits patiently in her carrier and barely makes a peep. I would put him in a carrier, but it stresses him out so much he's a panting, yowling wreck. So we follow far back in the middle lane and listen to the Duck Team. Of course i ensure his talons are nice and trimmed before we head out, because last thing i want to have to do behind the wheel is have to carefully extract a pawfull of cat claws from my flesh on the freeway.

    Such an adorable grumpy face! Though this rotund lady makes her discontent known during the whole process, she still behaves fairly well (in cats' book that means "not trying to kill the groomer immediately").

    That grumpy last look with the furrowed eyebrows from Zoey in her carrier was priceless!!
    She was actually very well behaved & didn’t take a swipe at Vanessa was such an act of restraint, I think she might’ve had a bath or groom at least once before.

    I've got 2 skinny wonders that hardly shed. Now my third one miss thicccums Molly good golly can't reach her cookie so we help her out a little. She's now on a diet and the skinny minis are not happy haha. Now that fancy brush thingy you have is wonderful for getting that loose fur off. The equigroomer thingy is the bomb! Thank you for introducing me to it

    When I take my cat to the vet I use a pheromone spray called Feliway. It works to calm him down every time. I might suggest it's use to your feline customers before they arrive at your shop.

    • @JH-zr8lo
      @JH-zr8lo 6 месяцев назад +17

      Yes, they have a super size canister at the front desk of Vet office. Its pricey, but does help--I would spritz a bit in the happy hoodie!!

      One caution about Feliway is that some humans are allergic to it.

    I laughed my butt off when you first put the happy hoodie on Zoey! 😂
    Her world fell apart instantly! Poor baby!
    As always you did a wonderful job!
    I’m happy Zoey was adopted and now can enjoy her future with her humans fresh and clean!
    My mainecoon/ragdoll is Zoeys size (possibly a little bigger) and she can be incredibly strong!
    What I don’t understand is she LOVES being loved but once she sees a brush she goes into crazy kitty mode! Sometimes I have to brush her in different areas each day so she doesn’t get too stressed. We get through it together and I wouldn’t trade her for the world!

    Zoey made me smile as she brought back memories of my late puss. He loved being brushed and hiis chin scratched as hard as you like, but try and clip his claws, pick him up or bathe him, then out came the claws, teeth and bad language. Take him to the vet and he was a complete angel.❤❤👵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹🌹

    The combination of dandruff and excessive shedding is probably diet related. My vet suggested going grain free then removing chicken products from our cats diet. Eventually it was adding cat formulated omega-3 oils that stopped the dandruff and reduced the shedding.

    Love seeing how other cats react when going to a professional groomer. And seeing the little tricks you do too!
    My cat is about 10 and I’ve been able to use this little trick for trimming her nails. I turn her over on her back in my lap and trim away. She obviously knows me so she doesn’t murder me. But she makes those warning growls. I always give her a treat afterwards and she knows it so she hangs around for it.
