I worked as a grooming apprentice for a few weeks. It was all about the money and getting as many dogs in and out as quickly as possible. The dogs were treated badly and with a complete lack of compassion. I felt extremely uncomfortable there and quit less than a month in. The grooming industry needs to have more regulations.

I couldn't agree more. I worked at a place I now call the shop of horrors. The turn over there was absolute insane, they scheduled way too many dogs, dogs had to stay there more than half a day if not longer due to over scheduling. That place was a total nightmare for the dogs & the owner was a money grabbing b...h to us employees.

@@Hiiiiiiiiieeee I know. I kind of felt bad for her, and envied her😯. Kidding. The vet sedated my brother’s dog, as soon as we arrived, just so he could examine him, and he was still screaming. It was horrible! Then, he reacted so strongly to the sedative, (seizure), that vet had to manipulate his jaw, without surgery. We agreed because we all thought he wouldn’t make it through. So, he was on a liquid diet for about 6 wks, kept very quiet, and his jaw healed ok.

Not to be a jerk, but it seems to me that the dog, precious life that she may be compared to the first life on Earth, is a good argument against such selective breeding. A life is not a toy, and dogs like her are so fragile and ill-adapted that it seems a travesty. The same could be said for the huge breeds that develop all kinds of joint problems and have short life spans. It seems one could argue that the only true pure bred dogs are the Painted Dogs of Africa, Dingos of Australia, coyotes, and wolves. Clipping nails, that dog looks like it's just a few heartbeats away from dying. Imo, it's cruel to breed them.

As a now disabled and retired dog training instructor and dog trainer, I'd much rather handle a 9 month old adolescent male Rott with no manners than any toy sized dog. That big, bouncy boy Rott with lots of joie de vivre is never going to get hurt by anything less than a bulldozer whereas so many of the tiny dogs can be injured by little more than breathing too hard on them. You're absolutely right when you make the point that accidents can and do happen--they're dogs, anything can happen (and will, if you hang around with dogs long enough). What's important is to be honest and transparent with owners so that the owners know what has happened and what further care may be needed. Your patience with Gracie is exemplary.

I have a senior Persian rescue who just out of the blue told me no more baths for her due to arthritis, which has actually improved since 2021 with changes in meds, and without saying last appt that there were concerns about continuing bathing. The best I got out of her was that my girl had trouble standing for the full bath, which I also always informed them of when booking so I'm not sure why but now she's a "liability". All this happened via text message too, I wished they'd have discussed this in person with me, cause there were misinterpretations on both sides via text and it read as less empathetic than I think she meant to be in hindsight, so now my younger Persian boy also doesn't have a groomer and I've been dropped as a client. Idk I didn't think stating this convo should've happened in person and that it was disappointing news to hear but that I understood and want her to be safe when groomed was disrespectful or being difficult, but apparently it was interpreted that way 🤷‍♀️ it really sucks when you trust someone with your pets and especially a pet with special needs just to be abruptly dropped as a client when they as seniors need the most TLC and have more grooming needs. Idk if it was a problem and related to not having the patience to work with my old girl, I'd have appreciated knowing this 2 yrs ago when I had this discussion with her about her needs after she'd had surgery or any appts for either cat in the time since vs sudden text msg during the holidays saying no can do. I hope your groomer has better communication skills for when/if that discussion ever has to be had 💜

I love tiny dogs and I have a chi mix myself, but I agree. My chi mix is 10 lbs, so quite small, but is still big enough that accidental injuries like this aren't quite this easy. Honestly, if someone wants a pet that's like a dog but only 1-2 lbs, I'd recommend rats. They're highly social and trainable and behavior wise are actually very similar to dogs, but they're actually meant to be that small. The only down side is they're very short lived and extremely prone to tumors.

People want the tiny dogs, whether the breed was ever meant to be so. Then some breeders will breed for that, some using unethical breeding practices. Results can be dogs genetically inferior or prone to certain conditions more. Now little dogs are almost always having dental issues, losing teeth. I'm a senior and NONE of my dogs ever lost all their teeth and I did get dental work for them, although I will say people are more aware these days. Two were 17 & 21.

I'd just like to point out for other people here (I'm not criticising), in case anyone has a dog who has problems with grooming, that you should never use sedation without the advice of a qualified vet. It can be incredibly dangerous for such small dogs and the risk increases as they get older. Obviously in this case, little Gracie is safe with a qualified groomer who knows what she's doing and what signs to look out for in case she gets into distress whilst she's given some essential TLC to keep her looking and feeling good.

But really… we have one singular groomer we trust with our senior rescue dog. She has been going there for years. One time we were at the other side of the country and my mom wanted to see if we could get her groomed there. Fortunately she never got groomed by that lady. She was super unprofessional when my mom called and started off saying she was the only good groomer in the vicinity and all the others were trash. Then my mom told the groomer the fur type of our rescue and asked if we could maybe shave het legs ourselves with a clipper against sand etc from the beach and to help cool her off. She has a fur that has to be plucked. We know that. My mom just asked if this was possible. The lady started berating my mom, saying my mom was ‘clearly’ a brainless idiot who impulse bought a dog during covid and didn’t even know how to care for her and we were horrible pet owners. My mom just hung up mortified and decided we’ll just wait until we were back home to go to our own groomer. For the record we have had dogs for years. This one was rescued waaay before covid about 10 years ago. My mom has worked with animals for years and I’m a vet student. I couldn’t believe anyone would even dare to talk to someone and jump to conclusions like this… I also have experience with groomers going way over their heads and exclaiming veterinary recommended brushes and food as ‘trash’ and then recommending their own unlabeled food and dropshipped metal brushes to their clients… I’m just so sad to see ppl like these making a bad name for all the good kind hearted ones like this channel:) I hope she keeps up the good work and educating others

Yeah this is why i groom my dog myself. The last time he was at Petco (not many options in my area) I think they squeezed his anal glands for some reason. He has never had trouble with them before and we ended up at the vet because he was in so much pain he couldn’t poop. I bought a good set of clippers and we do it ourselves. He is an awesome dog and puts up with it and sometimes he looks a little chopped but it works for us.

I had 2 4-lb Yorkies. They were the little loves of my life. 🥰 But I'll never get a dog that small again. (Why, I hear people asking? 😉) Well, for several reasons. One of them has already been alluded to here in the comments: it is extremely easy to step on them. I highly recommend anyone who plans to get a dog 5 lbs or less to learn to shuffle around the house. 🤣 I sound goofy, but I'm actually serious. Ideally, you need to train them to give you a wide amount of space. But if you are unsuccessful, then It's better to not take steps, and to just shuffle your feet. 🙂 You get used to it. 👍 And we as the owners (and as the ones who are the giants) are responsible for controlling the situation so that we do not hurt them. Secondly, their small size makes everything affect them to a much greater degree. They are as small as many preemie babies are!! ❤️ Therefore, even when you are counting kibbles, as I was, they can easily gain/lose weight. And that's not very good for them health-wise. Plus, if they eat something that's bad for them, then the consequences are much more likely to be dire when compared to a larger dog. Also, the same holds true if they ever get injured. I am absolutely in love with Gracie. 😍 She is so precious!!! This brought back wonderful memories for me. Vanessa, you are the ideal groomer for this sweet girl!! Thank you for being senstive to Gracie's injuries, temperament, and needs. You have treated her so justly and so compassionately.

Before anything: You are a wonderful person, and ofc groomer, for doing all the things you do for Gracie. Now for the longer and more depressing part: Sometimes I wonder if we have gone "too far" in breeding dogs. Don't get me wrong, Gracie is absolutely adorable and I'm sure that she's living her best life at her home. Nor do I advocate to euthanize all breeds where we have gone "too far" with. It's just... Gracie is two pounds. She got injured by a pure accident because her jaw was weakened from something that apparently just happens to some small dogs. Not even because they are not well taken care of or a breed specific problem, but because they are so small. And that hurts to learn about, gotta be honest there. If there's a way through breeding to avoid this (and if it's to make them bigger), great! But if there is nothing, I kind of want the breed to be laid to rest happily. It feels like the "right" thing to do, since we willed them into existence with this and other problems.

There are a lot of dogs and cats bred to have horrible health conditions for the sake of human enjoyment and aesthetics; it puts the animals at risk. Bulldogs (French and English especially), pugs, Persian and Himalayan cats have been bred with such flat faces that they can’t breathe properly. French bulldogs typically can’t give birth without human intervention because their pelvis has been bred to be so narrow. It’s awful, and these are only some examples because there are sadly many more. It didn’t used to be this way and fortunately some breeders are trying to lengthen the muzzles of those dog breeds and the noses of cat breeds back to where they belong. Humans have done awful things to dogs and cats for the sake of “breed standards”. And yes, a dog this size is far too small to be safe. So yeah…we have gone too far with some breeds.

Most "breeders" have no idea about genetics, and the entire science behind what breeding is supposed to do: improve the breed. Y'all just do yourselves a favor. Do your research BEFORE getting any animal to make sure you can care for her properly. Be flexible and honest with yourself about your abilities and experience. I also encourage going to a shelter or rescue before going to breeders.

For dogs we blame "The Kennel Club" for ruining breeds. and breeders who will bread sick dogs just so they are up to Kennel Club standards, even if they fall over and die after winning a price. All pugs & British Bull Dogs should be neutered asap, so no more will suffer eye and breathing problems, and have to be operated on almost at birth, just so they can survive. All 'show' Alsatians should also be neutered. and the 'Working' version should never be allowed near a Kennel club ring again. There are other dogs that also have problems, just because if very bad breeders >_< And all tea-cup dogs should also be left to die out, as they might be smaller, but their tongues are always to big for their mouths. The person who bread short legged cats... needs taking to the edge of a cliff and slowly pushed off... along with anyone that wants one or has one. and then the cats should all be neutered and left to die out... Nearly all my cats have been up cats, they love jumping and sleeping high up... to deprive a cat this joy? heartless and cruel, just because they dont want cats on their sofas!

@@barbaradecker4358 I’m pretty sure they were referencing the sassiness of yorkies… they didn’t blame Gracie, they were making a joke. I grew up with, and still occasionally care for, a female Yorkie this size, who is now 15. This was VERY obviously a joke. ‘That sounds like a you problem’ is a common joke online. Not once in this comment did they say anything even REMOTELY close to blaming Gracie for not standing. If anything, they were defending her, basically saying that ‘it wasn’t Gracie’s problem if she wasn’t groomed perfectly, she wanted to sit!’ Calm down, no need for two whole lectures about a joke that you didn’t understand. You projected meaning and opinions that weren’t even there, there is a crying laughing emoji and HEART emoji after the Gracie quote, which is kind of universal for “this is a lighthearted joke with no bad intentions”. Also, of course they only complimented the groomer, last time I checked, dogs can’t read, let alone work a computer/tablet/cellphone.

Thank you so much for the emphasis on accountability when there’s an injury. When my shih-tzu pekingese was alive we inevitably ended up changing groomers quite a few times because of that. He’d end up with scratches on his belly, bruises, skin tight shaved spots that were definitely not warranted (I was the one who personally would brush out or cut out any mats he had in his fur - there was rarely a point he went to the groomers with mats, and if he did they definitely weren’t pelted), etc. Their answer was always that he was a great dog and easy to groom. No mention of any incident whatsoever. Mind you, I have no doubt he was the cause of most if not all of those instances - he was a chronic wiggle worm, not for fear of the clippers or shears, but because he wanted to give you kisses and see what you’re doing. But it was the fact that they were unwilling to tell us that made us skeptical. If they weren’t willing to say what happened if it was something simple like getting scratched with scissors, would they tell us if something serious happened? Thankfully a family friend opened a grooming business and we didn’t run into any issues with her - full transparency all around. But it’s sad that it took four different groomers to get to that point.

Gracie looks like a prancing pony on her walk on the floor. Anxiety shaking despite sedation tells what a frightening experience grooming seemed to be. I had my Mini Schnauzer at the groomers and asked them to teach me, because she was very one person oriented (me) and not trusting strangers at all. So all future groomings were a one day all day in short spurts grooming sessions and a half groomed Mini Schnauz looks too funny, but it took out the stress for us all.

I wasn't aware that no teeth means fragile jaw. It definitely makes sense why the jaw would be more delicate in a tiny dog who had all her teeth pulled. It just didn't occur to me previously. Thank you so much for explaining how gracie got injured. I will keep an eye out for this in the future with little dogs for sure. The worst thing I fear is harming a dog unknowingly. This is why I try to learn as much as I can from other groomers, because things like this, no one teaches you, you learn them from experience. So thank you! She looks fantastic!

My boss's dad is a dentist. She's mentioned before that (in people, and I'm assuming it'd be the same for dogs? Though if they're prone to bad teeth, it might also be genetics due to the weak bone not just stopping with the teeth) it has something to do with that bit of blood supply and nerves being gone, plus the big hole that was left over from the roots of the teeth and the thought that the tissue is being worked when you chew things. Sort of like how bone becomes stronger when you work out because it needs to support the extra muscle/strain. (sorry, it's been a while since she talked about it, so I don't remember exact specifics!) It ends up combining, though, to make the bone itself weaker overall.

When elderly humans loose teeth the try to put in dentures or implants right away because without the pressure from chewing, the jawbone deteriorates in size and strength. On a 2 pound pup, that jawbone isn't super sturdy when they are youbg, healthy and still have teeth. So glad my hand me down Chihuahua is over 6 pounds. For the most part, she's a pretty sturdy little dog.

Gosh, bless her little cotton socks! I doubt it would be practical for you in reality, but it's almost like she needs her own set of clipping tools just for her: she's just that diddy. The scissors are almost as long as she is. 😲 I love how broad-ranging your videos are, especially recently. You highlight issues with dogs and their care that other groomers don't tend to touch on; at least not in their videos. Expaining why matting happens and proper ear care I see a lot, but you also talk about things such as the fragility of small breeds and the importance of spaying females to prevent infection later on. Absolutely fabulous. ❤️
