I swear some of these dogs break the law of conservation of mass. How can you remove a full dog worth of fur and still have a full dog worth of fur on the dog? It's amazing and mind boggling to watch every time.

I keep the subtitles on when the groomee (!) is a screamer, and when he whines, the subtitle says "Applause" 😅

At 7:05 you can see how there's a roughly dog-shaped blank space on the back wall, that's one heck of a furnado.

I feel if Ilo was a cartoon dog. He would sneeze and explode all his fur out in one achoo.

How is there even a Dog still left with so much fur flying around! XD

GWTD: "you are so much better than the first 2 times" E: "well, yeah, I didn't DIE!"

The furnado in slow motion was genius editing.

His fur looks magnificent in the sunshine

Thick fur indeed. Finnish Lapphunds were historically used for herding reindeer at the Arctic Circle in the far north of Finland. They don't really feel the cold that much.

My dogs always look so concerned when a loud dog or cat is on 😂😂 they're like "mom why do you watch these animals SUFFERING?!"

A Hairpocolypse!! A Shrednami! That sweet pup must feel so much better. And clearly he understands now that you are helping him. Epic Blowout Vanessa.

Your calm but firm handling very quickly teaches these dogs that 1) no amount of whining will make you stop, 2) you won't actually do anything painful, and possibly 3) after you're done they feel much more comfortable.

My favorite story about grooming has to come from my sister about her cat Snickers. He is not like other cats. This lad LOVES baths, LOVES being brushed, and LOVES having his nails trimmed. Nothing but purrs and total compliance. She decided that she was going to give him a lion cut, since he is a long haired little man. He’s his usual happy, calm self, and when she pulls out the trimmer… he’s purring even louder. He loved it! He was eating up the attention! And then he stood up, and his fur didn’t follow. He was so confused and spooked! It must have been so funny to see the poor guy so shocked that his fur had betrayed him like that! He still sits still for any and all grooming, thankfully.

Every time a hair moves it somehow spawns eight or ten minion hairs. He's like the Final Boss of Fur.

I love that Ilo's groom is now a yearly tradition. Happy king's day, everyone!

What an impressive representative of the Finnish Lapphund breed he is. Such a good dog. He's one of your best behaved grooms.

He has always been my favorite dog and love that his family brings him to your shop repeatedly

What a gorgeous dog. It's obvious his humans do a great job with his fur (and his global training) - it's so healthy and well maintained. And so thick! Holy heck, I know it's a (mostly) black dog but the wall changed color! I'm so happy the tickets to the fundraiser are selling well! Thank you for doing this to all these dogs (and the humans helping them).

My cat started watching as soon as she heard doggy cries!

WOW! Barely a peep! "Not that he was bad..." he was just really LOUD! 😂

He’s like a full size Pomeranian. (I know that’s not his breed, but his face is similar to one..)

He seemed so resigned that he just need to take the bath and drying. And furnado is right!

If I ever got a Finnish Lapphund, I would get a herding-line one. They tend to have a lot less fur. Of course, I would need a house with no neighbours first! And for anyone wondering, the name is Ilo (as in i-l-o). It basically means happiness.

So glad I've committed to no more pets because a Lapphund would be tempting. What a gorgeous creature!

He proved you wrong. He was amazingly well behaved!

I think he did great this time because he realized how good these grooms make him feel. No way he didn't feel great after all that fur was gone. Beautiful doggie. ❤🎉

Bless him he is so good for you.

He must have been an adorable puppy!

It is amazing how damn fluffy Finnish lapphunds are! Your shop looked something out of a nightmare after the blowdryer!

Omg the fur! lol I’m an overnight cleaner at a dog daycare/grooming salon. So I sympathize with the one who cleans your salon lol

Holy whoa. You could stuff an entire throw pillow with that much fur!

You weren't kidding about the furnado, especially on this backside. This is a gorgeous little dog and his groom turned out beautiful. He is obviously a well-loved and cared for dog; so sweet and cooperative.

Yay the return of Ilo. He is the reason I am now sitting here with my own Finnish Lapphund of almost 18 months, named Sisu. I gotta say Finnish Lapphunds are great dogs. They are so friendly and smart, a bit stubborn but also pretty easy to train. Although not for the lazy family, they require a couple solid walks per day plus mental stimulation. But I love my boy and would not trade him for anything in the world.

Seek shelter immediately!! Furnado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ilo is beautiful! I'm sure that he feels so much better after his groom getting clean and rid of all that excess fur.

Hey, no one likes their manhood 'blowing in the wind' 😂 Thank you for respecting his family jewels 😉

Vanessa wears hearing protection; Elo then proceeds to be exceptionally quiet, this time.

Finland mentioned. Torille!

It's incredible how much fur he sheds during his blow dry. He is one beautiful dog❤

What a precious boi with adorable Grinchy feets

I love Ilo's face the first time I laid eyes on him Ilo easily looks so lovable 😍🥰😘

Finish Laphunds are so cute!!

MY FAVORITE HAS RETURNED!!!!! Not that one ever would, but could you imagine if Ilo and Duke were blow dried back to back?!?

A Suomenlapinkoira! Oh! That fur is needed for herding reindeer in the icy climate of Finland. Love them

Uploaded 32 seconds ago? What a lucky morning for me!

Thats an F-5 if ever I saw one!

He looks amazing and his coat is SOOO shiny. You always do such a amazing job grooming, it was definitely your calling in life 🥳

This is the cutest doggy with an insane furnado!

He's like an otter - 1 million hairs per square inch! Ilo was SO good & as pretty as always! Nicely done! 🥰

So enjoyed watching this one. We had a Finnish Lapphund for 13 1/2 years. So many similar sounds and movements. Even his panting reminded me of my Bear Bear. Makes me wanna get another one.

He was well behaved this time. :) Thank you.

You Owe him an apology! He was a very good dog 😊

Wow.... Elo is GORGEOUS and a Mr hairy paws, far out. Well, he must feel SO much better now after all your hard work Vanessa.

He look lovely and so shiny.

When my husband & I adopted our first cat (RIP, Worf), we swore that we wouldn't "baby talk" to him like Vanessa was doing around the 8 minute mark. LOL. We weren't very successful. I think it lasted until the evening when he came out of hiding and we were so overjoyed that he had decided that "yes, these humans are nice and I shall rule over this kingdom for the rest of my years". We've adopted every cat we've had but unfortunately we can only adopt one at a time due to our small living space. Enrich your lives by adopted a cat or dog from your local shelter. Please get your pet fixed if they haven't been fixed by the shelter. If you can keep them inside for several years (while in heat), you should wait until they've passed their 2nd Birthday to get them fixed so they have the benefit of those added hormones to help prevent some cancers (some, not all, and it doesn't work for every dog/cat either). Unfortunately, there's no way of avoiding illnesses in your pets. Always keep your cats indoors or on a leash outdoors (yes...I said keep a cat on a leash). Your leash laws apply to ALL domesticated animals which means when you let your kitty out to roam at night. Anyone who ends up with your cat in their yard (destroying their yard) can capture and take them to the shelter (if you're lucky that's what they do) and inform the shelter staff that whover the owner is they're breaking the law by letting their cat roam. Laws differ by local jurisdictions so check your local jurisdiction. In Montana, if you live in town, you MUST have your cat on a leash (or your bunny or your dog). We've used our tender traps to capture cats who've decided that our house is a litter box. We usually give the cat back with a copy of the law regarding leashes (the first, second, and sometimes 3rd time we catch). However, if we don't know the owners, we take the cat to the shelter and they'll scan the chip to contact the owners. We're never given that information nor do they give the owners our information. We feel horrible doing it because it is NOT the cat's fault. The cats are being cats. The owners are being irresponsible.

I just love Ilo. I think is the third vid of him, including 1 clean up of the extreme furnado.

What a cutie ❤ he definitely was letting you know his opinion 😂

I used to have one of these, they are incredibly smart and loving. I miss my doggy. I had her for 17 years.

He did very well.

Elo was a model customer, and sooo fluffy. It looked like you were shaving Yorkshire terriers out of his paws 😄

Happy Sunday. I showed my son the last furnado and he has two rescues so…he loved it.

Ilo is such a good boy and SO MUCH FUR!!! could spin it with some wool and knit winter accessories. Thank you to Ilo's family for showcasing their beautiful well trained boy :)

Seems he's finally resigned to his fate.....

I knew it was Elo as soon as I saw his picture and was super excited! His video is one of my favorites!

His coat is fantastic!

It always amazing how the happy hoodie shows their true size next to the hulk of their fur.

Ilo is one of my favorite of your grooms. He's such a gorgeous boy and did behave so much more than it seemed he would by his initial whining. You do such an amazing job! ❤

So glad I watched this for my two Lappies. Thank you.

What a great way to start our morning!

I’ve got a year-old lappie, the amount of hair that flies around when I clean him is STAGGERING. This video and your other video on this furball has been wildly helpful. Thank you! 🙏🏻 ☺️

Elo is super fluffy😍 Shed enough fur for another dog, just in time for summer!

Also thank you for helping to find home for senior dogs! You truly make a difference in so many ways!

Looks like a rottie crossed with a samoyed, or perhaps the biggest pomeranian alive hahaha precious baby gorgeous boi.

This is one of my all time favourite breeds, beautiful, smart and suited for nordic/scandinavian climate. There is a Swedish lapphund too, they are all solid black where the Finn can have many colours, of which the bear brown or brown and tan is my absolute no 1. 😍

E-Io looks amazing! What a difference a bath and a blow-dry make! : )

Hims a cutie patootie afterwards! 😍🥰 And he was definitely a good boy!!! Great job for both of you! 🎉

Ilo did such a good job this time around, as did you, of course! Loved the slow motion video. Good luck with your fundraiser. Peace …

What an absolutely STUNNING dog!🐕 He's simply gorgeous! ❤ Don't make fun of his extra fluffs! Y'all are just jelly!😉😎

SO great to see Ilo again! He's one of my favorites. And not only because he represents Finland, either. He's so fluffy and gorgeous.

In Finnish the long hairs at the back of the front legs are colloquially called "liuhuttimet", which is difficult to translate as finnish is so onomatopoetic and you can just make up words as you go, but I'd translate it to smth like "little flags" or "(party) streamers", something that catches the wind and flutters behind the dog as they run/walk. Hence not wanting to have them cut! The same kinda goes for the toe hairs, they're kinda like decorations on the dog, but it's understandable to cut them to stop slipping. They protect the paw pads from cold in winter, though. Thank you for having a lapphund video! Thanks Ilo!

Joy-boy Ilo repping Finland so well and being on his best behaviour

Elo "... I am the victim of a hate crime.." That's not what a hate crime is Elo.. Elo.. "WELL I HATED IT!" 🤣

The scale might automatically zero itself with light weight. Place something of a few pounds on the scale for the scale to register. Then place the bag of hair on top to see the total weight.

You are to be comended for all the tireless and amazing grooming and transformations that take place in your groomer's store!❤❤❤❤❤ Keep up the good work, Miss. Vanessa We really admire you and are very grateful to you for all you do, over there in Niagra Falls,Canada!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

What a handsome boy he did so well ! Thanks for sharing !

He was such a good boy, but holy hair!😂

Just recently gave my gsd/hound mix a bath in the baby pool outside. Used the shampooer & de shedding shampoo. Was much easier with the shampoo nozzle than trying to hold dog in pool, & handle shampoo bottle, & scrubbing the dog. Thanks Vanessa for making a chore less difficult for both me & my dog.

I follow another Lapphund from Svalbard - they're just giant puff balls! Up there above the Arctic circle they love to just lie outdoors in the cold, love the snow, but have to be leashed so they don't chase the (protected) reindeer! Amazing dogs!

The Electric Light Borkestra, apparently!

Aaa, Ilo the goodest boy is back! He definitely learned from the last time that grooming isn't that bad.

The blow drying with hair flying reminds me of a cotton candy machine.😁

Very calm dog today. Beautiful grooming. Incredible amount of fur on the floor and everywhere. Thanks.

Such a sweet Baby Boy, puppy dog!! Just adorable! Love his coat colors!❤❤❤❤ Miss. Vanessa you seem to be very patient and sweet and kind with all the furry babies that come to get groomed for free!

What a cute, good boy!

Good boy! All that fur! You did a beautiful job on him! He was cool as a "cucumber"! 😊❤️

My beautiful Siberian husky Remi just crossed the rainbow bridge and he was the best. Loved everyone including the groomer and getting groomed he never howled and always let the groomer shave his paw pads and cut his nails I miss him so much 😢❤

Wow that pile of hair is as big as him. Amazing groom. He looks so beautiful.

There's grinch feet and then there's Elo feet. His paws went down 5 sizes when she removed the hair!

Fur by Volume: equal volume to the dog himself, hahaha! What a gorgeous floofy boy! Glad he is a little less anxious than before!
