Unbelievable Dog Grooming Transformation: Matted to Magnificent

[@antoniolatrippa6379]

Thanks for the blow dry tip. About to bathe my 50 pound rescue Muppet with long winter hair still, and will be sure to blow dry him to avoid matting! Had to use a muzzle to brush his front half out but all fingers are in tact. He was found on the streets and judging by his temperament, he was very badly abused. I'm his third adopter since being found, so at least his fourth owner. He's done worse to me than his previous adopters who returned him, but I will never give up on him.

[@thepixiepicker111]

For anyone wondering, he was the goodest boy! No concerns during the bath or dry! Now I have a silky soft floof of a Muppet. 🐶💙

[@carolined5923]

Well done for rescuing the little soul when many others gave up on him

[@SharonRaeRyan]

Amazing job! I'm sure he's was so confused as to why he needed brushing and that it would feel so much better afterward. Good on you for knowing how to use a muzzle so you could finish it! They're great tools in the right hands. Sounds like he's was adopted and returned so you could be the owner he needed. 🩷 So glad to hear he's feeling better and has a forever home!

Should hair be plucked at all? Shouldn't the practice be done very sparingly as it keeps dirt out and wafts dirt, ear wax up to the surface ? It works for humans unless their ears are constantly syringed ? That's when you get blocked up ears and they have more damage to the very small internal inner bones. ❤

My cousin has one and my parents dog-sit every once in a while. That dog follows my mother everywhere she goes in the house.

That's too funny! 🤣 Not a Havanese, but my Party Cocker was the exact same; but he only ACTED dumber than a box of rocks. My ex always said he was tetched. 🤣 And everyone was his bestest friend. He followed me from room to room & had a nasty habit of laying right smack down in the middle of every doorway of every room I entered. I tripped over him in the dark repeatedly, once breaking my foot and having to have surgery!

[@amixeblu]

Vanessa, I think you are, by far, one of the most patient, pet groomers that ever I came across. I owned a labrador and a German shepherd dog in my life. Due to getting worse (health wise) I can no longer offer a big dog, not even a little one, the care it needs, or the exercise it needs. And to keep a dog to just let it go potty in the garden 24/7 is a crime, IMHO. I am not that careless or desperate for companionship. I am 52 this year, single (guy ran after the car wreck that disabled me), and well I'll just take life as it comes. I am as uncomplicated a person you can get. LOL I am also dead serious if I tell you, if you do as you do, people will just naturally flock to you. Keep keeping it real, girlfriend; people appreciate that! In droves. ;)

[@lschoenrank]

Our Havanese gets her exercise fetching balls that we bounce down the stairs. She has amazing muscles. She also occasionally runs zoomies both indoors and in the backyard. A small dog doesn't need a lot of space to get exercise.

[@denisejones1279]

Love my Havanese! She goes to the groomer and is such a sweet girl. I brush her every day. After having many kinds of dogs, I needed a smaller dog because of my age. She has been the best fit in our family and such a joy to be around. 🎉

[@alexw.7097]

Y'know. While neglecting a dog's coat maintenance for one reason or another is absolutely the main reason for matting, it's nice to have a reminder that it's not ALWAYS because of that. I'll bet that before Daisy's surgery her coat was excellently maintained, (and it looks so, so soft and healthy,) but doing the right thing for their dog's health over her coat, led them to being good owners with a matted dog anyway. Plus they're not being crappy about it being easier to shave her than to try and de-mat all of that, so her comfort and health matters more to them than her looks! They made one little mistake in not getting her shaved before surgery, but other than that, they seem to be doing a great job!

[@Arabzene]

Do you think that is only two weeks worth of matting and shagginess? Looks to me like she was not groomed for much longer time.

[@rebny7801]

Yes Kudo to people who also gave an excelent dog education. I believe that well behaved dog are much happier, and that depends a lot on their owners.

[@antiquegirl6505]

Our Aussiedoodle jumped up, looked around, then stood perfectly still, when she heard Vanessas' grooming razor. She was a ragged mess, looking like a small Olde English Sheepdog, when we adopted her from a rescue. Many groomers did NOT want to deal with an overly matted doodle, so finding one became a chore. The groomer is now considered family 3 years later and we don't want anyone else to groom our rather silly, somewhat sensitive girl.

[@SweetDeath777]

my dog hasthe same kind of fur and let me tell you it gets matted SO fast. i'm here thinking Im brushing her every other day and then suddenly check and one spot i missed bc of how she was sitting is a matt im like girl how. there's no tangles it's either good or a tiny mat. I always ask for the full shave at the groomers to keep it manageable but i have chopped off my fare share of rogue matts. I'd rather make her look goofy than be uncomfortable

[@jagoldenpyrenees491]

PSA for anyone that ever finds themselves having to pluck their dog's ears themselves: like Vanessa said, use ear powder and pluck a few hairs at a time instead of trying to rip it all out at once - that hurts and can easily make them head shy! You can just lay them across your lap and take your time; you don't have to get it all at once. Some oddball dogs actually do need their ears mined out occasionally because hair grows IN the ear canals but most don't need it.

[@QUICKBOOKS1]

I wouldn't do it myself! I would let a professional do it.

[@jagoldenpyrenees491]

@@QUICKBOOKS1 I don't trust anyone with my dogs so I do all grooming myself. Ear plucking is outrageously simple and easy. Like microchipping, it's not some mysterious skill that takes decades to master. And yes, I implant my own microchips as well.

Vanessa, can hair matting in the ears cause hearing problems?

Right...who said that pulling hair from inside the ear does not hurt?..or holding them by their chin while pulling down, anyone ever noticed how sensitive our nose is if a doctor does something?...same thing I guess, they feel it and they shake, their ears and nose are way more sensitive.
