Poor little darling! Bless you for taking all the pain & discomfort away from him, and giving his quality of life back to him. I sincerely hope that wherever he is now, that he's not with the original owner, & that he's happy. ☺❤
As a groomer myself, people do not truly understand the focus and patience we must have in order to do a dog in this condition. We must focus and take our time to prevent cutting the dog. I hate when people come in with dogs like this and say "just shave it." This is why I charge a lot of money to do a dog like this. If the people are going to neglect the poor animal, they are damn well going to pay for it. Many times I don't want to give the dog back and call in the ASPCA. God bless you for your patience. You are a gifted groomer.
AGREE 100% or when they say i tried to brush but she wont let me i hear that on the daily bases People Mats hurts causes sores on skin And puts your animals thru so much stress pls pls pls brush your dogs
You did such a good job! The dog did so well hanging in there letting you free him from that matted mess. I cant imagine how hard that must be with an uncooperative dog.
You did such a great job! Very smart to clear the eyes first to reduce the fear. Continue the great work. As a groomer myself, I appreciate people like you....caring and gentle😊🐾😊
Thank you for being so patient with him. Shows true love 💞 to take the time & care for someone who hasn't seen it in a while. God Bless you! He's so handsome with his new do!!
God bless you, DogWhisperer. These are the jobs I get called to do usually, and the little dogs fight me like tigers, because they are not used to being handled or groomed. So sad, it takes hours sometimes. I've had dogs wag their tail, and lick my face after I clip their feet & nails free so they stop limping. It's a rewarding job.
I love when you see the moment a dog realizes you’re helping it. It’s eyes soften, mouth opens slightly and you can just tell they are content. That’s my favorite part with working with dogs
I groomed dogs at a big shop for several years. And now that I do something else I still go volunteer at a animal shelter and even though I’ve seen this unfortunately too many times in person it still amazes me each and every time. Watching this video oh my I was sitting there crying and then when you removed the mat in the first minute and that little face came poking out I couldn’t help but start laughing. God bless you and keep up the good work.
Thank God for Groomers like you! More credit should be given to Groomer's and animal lovers. What a sweet baby! So glad he is mat free. He can finally be pain free and have some blood circulating to those area's that were so tight with mats. His skin must have been so incredibly irritated! I'm training to be a Groomer so I can see how this can be very rewarding field.
It broke my heart and made me cry to see how horribly matted neglected this beautiful little dog was! 😢 The groomer did an absolutely amazing job at getting the mattes out carefully! And the dog was so good for her too! I truly hope he was taken away from the owners that neglected him like this! And that he found a good forever home! Those owners should be charged with animal abuse/neglect! God bless you for helping him! And God bless this little doggy too! He’s a trooper! 🙏❤️🐾
Yeah, some owners simply are too RIDICULOUSLY STUPID to realize that these hurt the dogs. But honestly, most of these jackasses are selfish twats anyway, so I wonder -- why do they wait so long?? Because by the time a dog is THIS matted, it SMELLS like death, feels like you're touching a giant dried turd, and it's impossible to be around for more than a couple minutes. I mean wouldn't your horribly matted dog trigger at least the selfish part of you that wants to be near a clean animal more than a disgustingly neglected one?? Seeing dogs like this that didn't literally just come off a street makes me SOMAD I just can't STAND it. I mean, there's literally no call for it, at all. Augh. You're a fantastic groomer, by the way, and thank you for all your help for this poor little guy. There's so many instances where while I'm grooming I'm all but crying and really really not wanting to give the poor dog back to its owner. :
Such a beautiful dog under that matting. I guess people don’t realize love patience and maintenance is important. Thank you for your time and kindness. ❤️❤️
Excellent to witness someone who has the hands to finish a complex idea to save this little guy from torment with all that fur. Thank you to videographer for a long and generous study if such a process.
My heart is breaking for this dog. The groomer is being so careful and patient. Mats hurt a dog, they keep dirt locked in the matted hair, they could get skin irritations and infections that go untreated. The hair is pulling on the skin, it smells bad and is unsanitary and not to mention undesirable to look at. It is horrible how many dogs and animals are mistreated. Thank god this one is finally getting some well needed and appreciated help and loving care.
If anyone says they can do as well or better... It's only because you make it look so easy, & so effortless. In my opinion, you are in the EXCELLENCE category in ALL areas of your life. Best of everything & thanks for all you do.
I wish my grandma would do this to her dog cause he has a dog that is terribly matted and I feel so bad 😰 he is just a poor dog and he wants attention but you don't know where to pet him cause he is so bad
+purplelepored03aj Then make your grandma do that, I wouldn't even bother to ask her. Do something about it, or your just as bad. It's animal abuse, period.
Of course he will, becouse it bloody hurts. We groomers can handle that, and if not, a vetenarian can do it with anesthetic. There's no excuse. Youre not an ostrich putting it's head in the sand are you? Maybe you're grandmother is to old to have an opinion, help that dog.
What a sweet little baby! Just sat there and let you take care of him. The only times he seemed "fussy" was when he was curious about what your doing and was moving to try to get a look 🥰 such a little doll this dog is
Unfortunately if you try to report people for abusing their dogs when they come into salons like this, most states will not act on the complaint because they see the owners as "making an effort".
Ashley Jellen Well, ‘making an effort’ in cases like this is tantamount to animal abuse because the poor dog suffered as a consequence. Sometimes the law is an ass. Why the hell would these owners even want a dog???
If I'm not mistaken I think the situation was a couple separated and in spite he neglected the dogs. The daughter found them like this and got them groomed. I think she has them now but where ever they went they are no longer with the neglectful owner.
I have recently begun to watch grooming videos like this because they bring me joy that someone cares so much to give these animals a new lease on life. It also helps to relieve stress that College has brought me.
What an adorable dog! Breaks my heart that someone can neglect an animal and children. The are helpless to whatever we choose or not choose to do. Thank you for being so gentle and kind to this little guy!
I am a grown man and am sobbing like a lost little boy seeing this. I cannot believe how people can do this to their best friend. I just want to hug and tight and let him know that he will be loved everyday. That poor little pup. So much suffering in its short time here. So many people out there that are selfish and greedy. Just happy that this groomer gave him a chance to see the light again.
I sincerely hope that this dog was removed from the home of whoever allowed it to get in this state in the first place. If someone groomed it and gave it back to the same (correct in calling it abusive) situation, then they are complicit with any and all abuses occurring thereafter.
You are very good at what you do, and very gentle too. Of course, I must give some credit to the patience of your little patient! My gosh, the before and after, what a difference! Thank you so much for your kindness to this sweet little pup.
one hears such horror stories of some groomers , but you have a lot of patience and a gift , you made all the difference in the world to that little person . Blessings to you .
It was taken away from its owner and she's making him all purty for court so the owner can get max time. " true or false fido,did you not enjoy having 37lbs of fur just on your eye lids? Um false it hurt eleven tho I'm the only dog in the world with eye lid muscles It was pain full and i.couldnt see(tears) I mean I just wanted to see the ass hole that was letting this happen to me but I couldn't even do that..and =objection your honor By saying he just wanted to se his owner who did "this" (what ever "this was" I dont know imho this was giving you a shoe box to live in outside ,giving you enough food to grow some what we are not calling mats but sweet ass dreds=objection your honor the defense had an objection but seems to be giving us his sorry lame ass excuse for why this poor adorable pup was neglected and no we also object to the objection we know is coming from the defense that the owner wasn't starving him he was getting him ready for naked and afraid polar edition as there is no such show and we feel that even if there were we doubt any producer would want a tiny dog that looked like a shit after chewbacca just hit tacobell.so may we get back to our e Cross examination of the victim plz.....so as we were saying what was it like likening with 27lbeyelids ? Well I lived in fear of a fire cuz where exactly would I run,i mean maybe i could get close enough to burn the hair from my face =objection ,the defense believes that the alleged victim just Answered a important question his outfit was not bolted or welded on to him he could just melt it of er"go hence he was never in danger from fire we would like fire stricken from the record as a danger. Your honor that defense was so wacko we aren't even gonna object!!!! Your honor we want to know what the defense thinks the victim should of done had let's say ,someone thrown a gas soaked rag on him thinking he was a pile of dirty rags as did happen on 3 separate occasions,someone for one of the 2 times in the 27year home history decided to clean up the eyesore of a home and as on the 2d attempt at cleaning that hoarders dream home they grabbed the dog and threw him in to the trash thinking he was trash until the owner saw the mistake and said quote"woooooo bro do throw stinky out he my meal ticket and golden Wonka ticket outta this shit hole"as was said in interview which is on tape but if they dont have a world ugliest dog tvshow with 100,000$prize than he will win on artic city dog survivor yeah J hat lil flea and maggot factory is my way to the champagne dream n caviar wishes or whatever that like Robin leach dude use to ramble on about.objection so you admit you knew he was infested with fleas and also ticks so bad he was anemic and near death upon rescue.and your client intentionally allowed my client to become matted and a 37lb of matted hair on a 6lb dog so heavy he couldn't walk to use the restroom =objection at no time has my clients dog ever used the restroom he poops and pees where he stands gotcha your honor the defense just fell for my trap and admitted that my client had to urinate on him self and defecate on himself because he had so much hair it had no where to go upon exiting the body no could my client t even walk to a spot that he could do a normal poopoo or pee peecuz there was nowhere that exists like that. Your honor my client was a delusional potheads dream ticket to the the good life but aside from a rare feeding my client never acted as an owner should even after threats to call animal from neighbors who sometimes saw the lump of what they thought was carpet move had no other way to tell that a dog lived there other than the smell of dog poop which was cleaned up on the dog only when it rained and when he once sold his mountain of gold he called it to a professional rose grower who said it was his secret recipie to his winning Rose's cuz of the rich contents (which was due to my clients body shutting down and him not being able to digest all the food as most just passed thru the intestine like water thru as hose.my final statement and exhibit is my client just hair and insect weight .if the defense claims he was not abused ,if a broken femur from a obvious kicing wound and collar ching and lack of collar upkeep to the point where another week and my client would have simply died from asphyxiation and or infection.if he were not abused than how dow we account for a final total of 43lbs of hair when insects are included ,36after the 36lbs of hair we have 3lbs of fleas and ticks , 3.15lbs of maggots and 2 lbs of those were mango worms Ladies and gentlemen of the jury may I point out that mangoworms are not natural to california they are native of Africa, my client was intentionally infected so my client could sell the bottles as bait they do grow in San Diego I the summer because it's much like the gambian climate that is a federal crime initself.mango worms are a near impossible to rid of nuisance fly that is dangerous to our orange and avocado crop industry that is 37%of our civic economy and not to mention California's climate this bonehead =objection name calling while I tend to agree with the name u chose ,sustained this could affect the nation's fruit harvest pray it doesn't mAke it to florida.it will be the Asian carpet all over again. that does not .but back to scfuffers the tougherswhich is what the vet folks renamed him,they felt he needed a new name as shitbrain was a good name for such a gorgeous dog.but after adding all the gross worms found in his gut (almost a lb of straight worms which can transfer to humans ,include the amount of fleas and ticks that escaped or were lost down the drain during washing this is just what was saved. At 3 pounds of maggots that were eating the defendant luckily that kind of maggot leave sterile clean wounds they just look vile for his sake hes lucky they are the same fly that are used in medical applications. His 7 yo year colar line abcess which is common when dogs are on a collar and leash that is never adjusted to grow with the dog the collar begins to choke them causing a sore then abcess sore which gets infected them starts to stink badly very badly and is swarmed by flies which then then in the same place they eat. and you get maggots galore you can tell by a wound that smells putrid and hundreds of flys in the area of the head of the do.and this is torture to the pooch asit can never scratch the itch of thousands of maggots moving and eating his flesh which doesnt hurt cuz the maggot thru evolution it was given a numbing saliva that almost completely numbs the wound almost just enough feeling to itch like crazy when 5 000 of the lil maggots are squirming and eating your flesh and the veteran groomer almost threw up one she saw how many maggots there were mind you It takes 1000 maggots to make a pound the res of the insect weight were roaches living under the maggots eating their excrement when just fur ,and I remind you this is a 7lb dog but if he took such good care of this poor poor innocent helpless dependent defendant why then is the defendant now 12lbs,free of strait worms that were stuffed in his intestine that added up to ONLY2lbs has no maggots eating his flesh or supporting basically an ecosystem in his fur by mangoworms feeding birds that would come peck at his fur and eat the worms,THENthe fleas die off and ticks suck the dog dry ,no tell me how that wasn't neglect and cruelty .your honor I suggest we do aall that to him .....
Cried thru out...lower or get rid of the music...would rather hear your voice & the whir of the clippers...but the greatness of the universe has blessed you...& the dogs you service...thank you!
I cannot believe how well-behaved & good this poor little guy was during this whole ordeal! What a trooper! Shih Tzu's have such great temperaments. This groomer was fabulous with him. So patient. She talked to him & petted him. She was able to be very gentile & keep him as calm as possible. This dog did not look stressed at all which, from seeing his horrible condition, was amazing. SO glad this little one will get a new happy life ahead of him!
Bless his heart. What a beautiful little baby he turned out to be. He suffered so much with those mats because they hurt as they get tighter. You're a very patient person, thank you for showing what a sweet boy he is under all that mess.
Not much. She should have used a scissor to cut those heavy chunks of mat as she got them, less pulling of this dog skin. A good groomer should know that.
Calla Lilly well just because she didn't cut the big parts off as she got them doesn't mean she's not a good groomer, she said she was trying to save as much hair as possible and with those mats in sure it was tangled every where SO cutting a part in a certain place may have took out a huge chunk of savable hair somewhere else.
I have a Shih Tzu Maltese and I don't understand anyone letting that pup fall to that horrible matted state. People who let this happen are monsters in my mind. Any physical abuse or letting a dog get sick is inexcuseable. I too am glad there are groomers that spend their talents on these pups that need the care. You are an Angel!
I use to LOVE taking my time... slow and steady. It was out of LOVE that I would be patient on severely matted dogs. Unfortunately, when I worked in many different shops, owners didn't like how "slow" i worked. For me it was about saving a bit of hair too... cutting up and through it on the top of the head just like you. No wonder I got stressed out shop to shop. I LOVED grooming. Ultimately I gave it up.
some people just shouldn't have pets! i mean its not that hard to get ur dog groomed i have a 8 year old shih tzu and always keep him short so he is more comfortable :)
I agree! My lil' maltipoo rescue came with seizures, and because of that fact, the grooming salons wanted to charge extra to do 'express' grooming given her condition. It got costly, plus she would get stressed, so I started watching a TON of RU-vid tutorials, purchased a pet grooming kit with clippers etc and bought a rotary grinding tool for the nails and learned to groom her myself (going slowly and VERY carefully and taking breaks at first so that there were no nicks or cuts). So there's really no excuse for this dog's condition unless the owner is ill and incapacitated, or legally blind!
I couldnt help but cry watching this. I hugged my shizu tighter too I have my furbaby groomed on a regular bases. I keep his fur short and brush him daily. Brushing daily is a must and he loves it
Guy when i saw you on youtube It seems that dogs and puppies has only little hope. But good! It happens through you guys. Never ending blessing to all.
Thank God for the gentlemen who brought the little puppy in to the Vet hospital.The difference in his life is he will find a family to adopt him or her, thank you Mr. for doing the right thing.
As I sit here watching you so tenderly remove all that hair I cried why would anyone let it go that long Your a wonderful person GOD BLESS YOU AND THIS SWEET LITTLE ANGEL
This was an awesome video. The little guy was covered in mats. My pup is a little matted but I've went out and got a complete Andis Clippers kit. Gonna give him a bath, blow dry, comb and cut. should take about 2 hours since it's my first time. Wish me Luck.
U r definitely in the right profession. Your kindness comes thru loud and clear. Now what can we do to help owners understand what that little guy endured is ABUSE, NEGLECT, CRUELTY and INFLICTION of PAIN??!! Dr. Bibbi
I am also a dog groomer, and see this often, especially with bichons and shitzu's, people just do not realise this is animal cruelty, I often pinch people to say this is how it feels for your dog with all those matts pulling on his/her skin.Some take notice and are good responsible owners and some carry on and let there dogs get in this state time and time again. Should they be reported????
ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY THEY SHOULD!!! If you owned a beauty salon and a mother brought in her daughter to get her hair done. Her hair is matted, she has sores in her head, her clothes are filthy. Would you just do her hair and send her back on her way with her mother??? No! You would be apalled! You would report it! Why wouldn't you do the same for a helpless animal?
You did an impeccable grooming! The result is beautiful and this little dog must feel relieved. You did that smoothly and he was confident. It was sad to see him so neglected. Now we finally see her beautiful face. Thank you for doing good to this little dog.
