Today's fun grooming :(

Here's a sweet little toy poodle I groomed today, shame she was so matted all I could do was shave her.

I know K, but she sure did feel much better without all the matting and fleas when she left.

She was a sweet little girl, I wanted to bring her home so she wouldn't have to go become flea infested again and get all matted She had a rock the size of my pinkie nail matted inbetween her pads on her foot, now I know pinkie nails aren't big, but her entire foot was about the size of two of my finger tips.

Don't you hate grooms like that? Breaks my heart. And you try to educate the owners, and 9 times of 10, you see the dog again next year, in the same condition or worse. Here are some similar ones I have done this summer.

Yeah, I'd say 75% of the time you might as well be talking to a wall. Sometimes it makes you want to not bother but then another great owner comes along and makes ya keep at it

Re: Today's fun grooming :(

Poor little Poodle. I've had a few fosters who were matted to felt. Broke my heart. I learned to wet shave, so have been able to spare them being skinned. Was surprised that I actually got a #5F blade under badly matted hair, and that the hair was longer once dry when shaved wet (than it would have been had I clipped a dry coat). The (wonderful) professional groomer who volunteers was dead certain she'd have to use a #10F blade, so it was neat that I taught her a new trick! LOL She was also sure I was going to electracute the dog and myself! LOL
