Yes, the dog needs to be able to pant if it’s going to be there that long.

[@helenab9973]

I think owner should be scolded for neglecting such a beautiful dog. If she goes back to that irresponsible owner, maybe a year later same situation. It's so sad to see a dog in such poor condition. Especially if it's not a homeless dog.

[@charliethecairnterrier]

Why not invest in some basket muzzles? I got some decent ones in all sizes for like 37 euros. (literally all sizes, huge to tiny) Those rope muzzles are uncomfortable for the dogs, especially when used for such a long time. In University we learn to only use self made rope muzzles for a short time and only if you don't have a decent basket muzzle available. Just a tip, the groom itself was good! That must have cost the owners a fortune, hopefully they come in regularly now.

[@dawnlaponsie6601]

That's what I was thinking. Why did they use that? The poor dog is trying to breathe and pant. Not good.

[@williampeeters7327]

​@@dawnlaponsie6601at 12:30 in the video, you can see the dog has no problem breathing

[@GotAnUmbrella]

@@williampeeters7327 if the dog can open their mouth that much it won't actually protect them from being bitten. If they want to protect themselves and let the dogs breathe they NEED basket muzzles.

[@GroomHouse]

Do you really think that for 5 years, how long we have a grooming salon, we didn't try to put the basket muzzles? After several hundred aggressive dogs, trust me, the rope muzzle is the only safe muzzle. Every other basket muzzle a dog can just pull down with his paws...

[@yoruk9136]

It really isn’t hard and i actually disagree with the advice in the video, you do not have to go to a professional groomer at all. If you brush your dog regularly and wash it and walk it enough that its nails won’t overgrow, the groomer wont do anything you haven’t done yourself. Tho if you have a dog who isn’t good with water or brushes groomers are a very good option

[@mirawenya]

@@yoruk9136 I found after brushing my puppy every day till he was 9 months, that I’ve not done a good enough job. There’s like this dense impacted like fur on his hind quarters. I’m using a comb on it a bit every day now, and it’s getting there. But my puppy isn’t used to tugging, so takes some snacks and patience atm. I’m hoping the fact he’ll shed his entire coat soon gives me a second chance to get it right.

[@Draggonny]

​@yoruk9136 I literally had to do this with my male husky when we got him. His matts weren't as bad as this. They weren't like a sheet like that. He was such a good boy and it took so long. It's been 3 years since then and he's gone from barely wanting to be touched to demanding attention. He still doesn't like being brushed but he clearly knows it's good for him. He just walks away when he's had enough.

[@marleneclausen30]

I had Norwegian Elkhounds. They never went to a groomer. I brushed them twice a week and during shedding season, every day. They had beautiful coats. Simply, don’t get these kind of dogs unless you are willing to properly care for them. Just cannot imagine how awful that’s for this pretty girl.

I'm glad you show this . I used to raise chows. They have same coat. I used to teach my friends that if you brush completely the coat every day it only takes maximum of 10 minutes. I get paid to brush out Huskies and other dogs of same coat. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

[@dethmaul]

In another comment they said this is the best kind because the dog can't take it off. I still don't like it, baskets are good.

[@daynawithawhy]

I'm glad that you were able to help her but this could and should have been handled differently. Huskies are fear biters on good days and this whole experience freaks out well-adjusted and cared for dogs. Maybe give her some time to acclimate herself, let her sniff her surroundings and show her the tools you use instead of launching into a half-day rope muzzle and a full on audio-visual nightmare for her. You spent half a day working on her, would an extra 20 minutes of helping her sort herself out have made that much difference?

[@joanhaselman444]

Adding 20 minutes to an already full schedule, and the owner is paying for all of those minutes. I am sure the husky had some time out from her muzzle for drinks of water, a potty break, and a snack.

[@leslieshand4509]

You are assuming they didn’t. I’ve watched hundreds of their grooms of terribly damaged, neglected dogs. They do all of that. They take breaks, give the dog treats, water, go for a pee.

Maybe the other groomers already know the coat can be saved using your method but have decided that having a dog muzzled and distressed on the table for 4 hours JUST to get the Matt’s out isn’t worth the trauma to the dog. 🤷‍♀️

[@nervousbumblebee]

thats exactly what I was thinking (and the use of rope muzzles is unnecessary) i work at a vet clinic and the doctors and techs always only use basket muzzles even on huge dogs, always works out completely fine. if the dog is too aggressive it needs to be sedated, just a thought!

[@colleend2977]

@@nervousbumblebee I agree100%. This was too much with probably no breaks.

[@Giganotus]

and what solution would you have proposed then? Just leave it? Not an option. Shave it? Also not an option. Huskies have a very particular coat that can be irreparably damaged if shaved. As uncomfortable as it might've been for the dog, in the long run this was the best solution for her

[@ComeOutOfHerMyPeople]

​@@Giganotus The comment was addressing the "holier than thou" attitude of the groomer that *they* know that the coat can be saved with a little bit of effort. as if the other groomers are just too lazy to put in the work. Sometimes "irreparably damaged" is the price you pay for letting a dog get into this condition. If the dog is an inside dog, "coat damage" really is a non issue. Its not the end of the world. This entire debate about "shaving ruins coats" is a mute point if the dog is treated as part of the family and kept inside. If they were so intent on proving the dogs coat could be saved ,they should have done the right thing for the dog, and sedated the poor thing, because this entire treatment was utterly disgusting. That you would subject a dog to that pain for 4 hours to "prove a point" is beyond me.

I had to assist a vet in doing this for a Samoyed a few years ago. He'd fallen out of the back of his owner's truck and gotten a bad case of road rash. Flies laid eggs in his countless skin abrasions, and he was a maggoty mess. We saved as much fur as we could by doing what this groomer is doing, and only shaving the worst areas. But he was properly sedated. Having your hair pulled HURTS! At the end of 3 hours he was a lot lighter in terms of hair but he was maggot free. I did a Persian cat for the same vet practice who was heavily matted like this husky. He was sedated, as a cat is even less likely than a dog to cooperate with painful procedures. I got all his mats out with a mat splitter, but his skin was reddened from having his hair pulled all over. I'm sure he was sore when he woke up.

[@alysesteele7403]

[@hazelco8622]

Yeah, even during low shedding it is still a lot, and it gets everywhere. Even labs shed! One of us is allergic to such. After months of research, settled 2 yrs ago on a small miniature poodle (grew just an inch over a toy). No allergies even if hubby puts his nose on the dog, and breathes in, as dog has a single layer of hair (not fur), and thus also no dander. Whatever little shed is a very thin strip on the comb and nowhere else. Small enough to encourage daily combing. But because of curls and a long anagen stage that can last years, needs grooming regularly (very short, to last 7 weeks, 8 tops). Pawpads & nails and a teeny trim above eyes and near mouth, we do ourselves in between grooming.

[@dreaming-of-spots6805]

We don't know what the dog's/owner's circumstances are. This channel is based out of Serbia, which has been experiencing a lot of unrest over the last few years, and it's very possible that the dog and/or owner were in a situation that didn't allow for grooming. Be kind, and be glad the dog is getting relieved of her matting now.

If you are really professional then why do you not know how to properly tie apply/ tie a gauze muzzle? Because there IS A PROPER WAY TO DO IT that A) secures the muzzle to prevent biting while B) DOES NOT CAUSE HARM TO THE ANIMAL by cutting off circulation to the muzzle, causing damage to the nasal cavity, causing damage to the tongue or risk the ability to breathe properly at any point and is also C) easily removable in case of emergency. Or you could just have basic basket muzzle available and ready to use in these situations, or fabric muzzle....there's a huge assortment of proper muzzle that are available washable and easy to use and safer for the animal than your dog. If you use gauze you need to do it right or not at all.

I have a short double coat cat (Russian Blue) and although well, most cats are self-groomed, during shedding season, I need to brush him and remove him undercoat at least weekly (and then there's like a week where is everyday). Not only because hair everywhere, but because even a cat will have trouble sometimes and get some matts in the tougher to reach spots (especially with dingleberries and under the armpits). I can't imagine getting a Husky or any other wooly kind of dog and going like "he doesn't need to get brushed", it's insane. I never brush my Dog outside of some undercoat removal during shedding season because he's a short haired mutt and a biyearly groom visit is more than enough to keep his coat amazing.

Obviously the owners realized there was a problem because they brought the dog in - the groomer calling the owners lazy in this video is completely unprofessional. Educating people will always be more effective than shaming them. It looks like the owner of this dog didn’t know how to take care of its coat, hopefully now they do.

Plenty of muzzles out there. Stop tying dogs mouths shut. And don't even oh we've tried. Tons of groomers on this platform and I've never seen them tie a dogs mouth shut. If I found out a groomer did that to my dog. you'd have some charges filed. No excuse for it.

[@ElvenGoddess86]

Curious, what is the purpose of having the blower on while dematting? I have not seen this technique before.

[@beckyirvin2504]

I have owned two Siberian Huskies and never had matted hair on either. Did all my own grooming

[@susannadvortsin]

Poor dog to have a neglectful owner like that. I have a white husky and he gets brushed every day. Its so easy to brush these dogs and relaxing for the dog and the owner. 😢

[@MaiXoxo3]

Beautiful transformation! she is such a beautiful dog after being groomed!

[@fadedandfriends5612]

She’s beautiful

[@wmtub]

What a beautiful dog and what an awesome job. Amazing what good grooming can do. Many thanks for the video.

[@mishagirl01]

Please tell me the name of your shop! I want to know so that my pup NEVER has her mouth TIED shut, when there are far better muzzles available! And I don't ever want Pollyanna perfect nails working on my Siberian as her only concern seems to be her. Oh gosh! She got dust on her! Poor thing!!! Her ability to comfort the dog was NIL! Wow.

I have a siberian and I use a rake brush. It works wonders, you do not have to take them to a groomer. Just get a good rake brush and the one they showed here with all the bristles for those stray hairs. Thats literally all you need. Make sure your brush your husky often and def atleast once a day or 2 when the coat starts to blow. This groomer was kinda brushing too harshly imo for those size mats, hence why the dog was biting.

[@Jagarus]

I grew up on a ranch and had a variety of dogs, cats, horses and cows. Never once did we take our animals to the groomers, however we groomed all of our animals regularly. I still remember my sister getting in trouble once for letting her miniature schnauzer get a couple of mats. It’s no joke, and if your doing it regularly the dogs love it. This Husky is a prime example of the behavioral neglect it’s received because it tried to bite the groomer. Never would of happened if grooming was done regularly.

[@hikari23k]

Yes, it's sad the husky got so bad. But, I don't think insulting the owner is the answer either.

[@isabellasaenz4949]

Exactly

[@jadeandmejadeandme7687]

I know right there could been a problem that happen instead of coming with insulation words

[@rosehermsen7910]

Agree

[@19TheFallen]

My family, and I used to have a Malamute-Husky. His favorite pastime seemed to be when my dad would go out and spend a couple of hours once or twice a week brushing his fur. Each and every time my dad would do this, it would fill up a two gallon bucket without fail! It seemed to be a rather relieving thing for him, getting even that much fur off of him......I can only imagine how much of a relief it was for this dog to get this much fur off of it!

[@fsj197811]

Awesome difference and I'm sure she feels much better and cooler. I do have to wonder how much an all day grooming session cost. Worth it though!

[@lisamcdonald9792]

What a beautiful baby! I hope she was no longer neglected!

[@ChatWithAUnicorn]

She looked so amazing when you guys got done, way to go! She was smiling

[@citrinetopaz7625]

She looks so much happier at the end. Awesome

[@devijones1121]

Amazing transformation from old to new age.... 👏👏 Even husky feels so relaxed after makeover.. 😍🥰👍

[@rachealsmith5138]

Oh my gosh! She lost weight, changed color and looks like a sweet lady now!!! Wonderfully done! I realize some people will shave, but I don’t feel lucky ie it always has to be the answer.

[@quinnmaclean3652]

My schedule is usually full of these types of double coated dogs and two or three times a year I get dogs that are not this poorly maintained, but very close. A skip toothed blade is really helpful for carving away at matted areas to open them up for brushing without shaving short

[@wendyh.9363]

Some people don't deserve dogs. She is a beauty!

[@Willowin22]

You did wonderful. But please invest in some basket muzzles or anything other than a rope/rubber band muzzle. I’m sure that’s extremely uncomfortable for the doggies. :(

[@seekinghappy]

Shaving the hair feels like the compassionate thing to do when you don’t know how long it’ll be until their next groom. Yes this dog looks pretty, but the priority should be there safety and comfort when you know they’re not being cared for on the regular.

[@beckymedvetz228]

You did a great job!🤗❤️she looks so much better and happy! Thank you

[@RobotNinja01]

Unless you know the circumstances, don't comment on them. What if the dog was a stray or had just been rescued? Now the owners see you trashing them on the internet. You just lost a potential returning customer because of your own arrogance. Very unprofessional.

[@suziephillips2320]

Poor pupper! I will bet that probably was painful and that was why she tried to bite you! I hope the owner was told that he or she could avoid anything that massive coming off by brushing the dog each day! I had a gorgeous purebred, silver, German Shepherd, named Kelly. I worked at a shelter as a vet assistant. This was about 1978! The guys in the back, where animals were surrendered knew I was a sucker for any animal in need! They ran up to me and said, "We just got a purebred little 8 week old German Shepherd dropped off by the owner. The shelter manager is going to have her put down!!" WHAT?? WHY?? Any purebred cat or dog, young or older, always got quickly adopted so I couldn't understand why the shelter manager was marking her for euthanasia! I went to the isolation room where any new animals went as they needed to be seen by one of the vets as well as have a distemper vaccination and any dog or cat over 6 months, also got a rabies vaccine! There sat this beautiful 8 week old, GSD, her ears would perk up but then fall over! The guy who got me said look at this, papers for this puppy and the guy paid $500 for her at the age of 6 weeks! I opened the cage and went to pick her up. She was skin & bones!! The woman who signed her in as, "owner, do not want!!" She had 6 children with her, all under the age of 10, and she was clearly pregnant again! She told him that her husband had purchased this puppy 2 weeks prior. He paid $500 for the puppy which irritated her because not only did he spend that amount of money, she already had 6 kids and was expecting #7. She said the children had already lost interest in walking, feeding, & brushing the puppy and she had enough trying to care for all the kids, herself, & the husband. She had never owned a dog before and had asked a few neighbors if they knew how big this puppy might get. Best guess was 70-85 pounds! The husband had stopped by a pet store on the way home from picking up the puppy, to pick up a case of dog food that is no longer made! It was called Mighty Dog and came in the same sized cans as tuna fish! The woman said that she was giving it a can of Mighty Dog each morning!! The puppy needed to be on puppy food as puppies require more calories each day than a grown dog. And giving a puppy a tiny can of adult dog food just once a day, she was starving the poor dog! Because there was no foster care systems for cats, dogs, or any animal that needed to be nursed back to help, I immediately called my mom to ask if I could bring this tiny puppy home! Since she needed to be fed, very small meals every hour at first, I would bring the dog back to work with me each morning! My mom reluctantly agreed that the dog could come home with me but once the dog was nursed back to health , it would go up for adoption! At the time we had a small dog, crossed between a Terrier & a Beagle. She was the color of amber so we caller her Amber! I ran back to the shelter manager and begged him to let me save this very starved little German Shepherd! He finally agreed. I got her from isolation ward & had one of the veterinarians check her over. He gave her a distemper shot, she was too young for a rabies shot. Plus she got her first dose of worm medication! I grabbed a bag of puppy food and put her in one of the kennels in the clinic. I fed her meal #1 of that day. A small handful of food. Any animal that is starving will wolf down anything in front of them so fast that they will only end up vomiting it up so you must feed tiny amounts each hour. Each hour I fed her, setting my alarm for the next hour. That only lasted a little bit as the puppy finally realizes that they can count on the person feeding! She gained weight daily. Within 2 weeks she looked like a totally different puppy!! She loved going into the shelter because it was where her mom worked!! The shelter manager came into the clinic when Kelly was 13 weeks old just as one of the veterinarians said she was now a perfect weight! He said she looked wonderful and he bet she would get adopted within an hour! I said, Kelly was already adopted & showed him the adoption certificate with my name on it! She would be back the next day for her spay! Kelly ended up at around 90 pounds! The breeder had a bunch of big boned GS so she grew to be large! I eventually got tired of the cold & snow in Philadelphia and decided to move to Florida! I loaded up a U-Haul, had my exp fiance hook my car up on the rear of the truck and we headed south to Florida! I had a cat named, Krystal. I couldn't imagine driving 1300 miles with a cat. So I found a veterinarian who lived close to the Philadelphia Airport. My veterinarian gave her vaccinations, filled out the form for the airlines. I dropped her off at the kennel & prepaid for her board. I gave them the ticket for her flight from Philly to Tampa Airport. They had her records as well as the forms and a tranquilizer to be given to her an hour before her flight! My parents had moved to Florida 5 years before I did. The morning of her flight, my dad & I went to the cargo area where she was brought after the plane landed. Kelly was brushed every dad. When she would be especially shedding was each spring when she would "drop" her winter coat! Only then did she have clumps of hair like this Husky! I hope the owners now brush her daily!!

[@vanessaebony529]

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this beauty! I'm so glad you took the time to demat her. There are some groomers in America where they are lazy and just shave the double coated dog if the matting is all over
