Sometimes acts of kindness like this are what correct peoples behaviors. Now the doggie mommy can see the value of grooming, and that her pup was actually able to sit through it. Most people aren’t inherently bad they just don’t know.

[@pattilessels1261]

Sweet baby. I don’t know what that Mama is going through but maybe she’s a bit overwhelmed and you helped her today. ❤

[@jessicahelgeson437]

And now mom knows where to bring Harlow for her regular grooms!

[@gordongekko2303]

I hope the owner takes a moment to understand the importance of bathing , and brushing her dog.

[@erikafreebird6449]

God Bless you. That was definitely more for the dog than the owner. Hopefully the owner learned something from this, if she watches how much you gave of yourself. No one should let a dog get filthy, flea infested, and matted.

[@vgal8899]

Jess you are amazing and it was fate that you didn’t find a dog at the park. That fur baby really needed it and I know you helped the mom feel better too. ❤❤❤

[@JessRonaGrooming]

Sweet Harlow felt so much better after ❤️

[@sevenohm3375]

hopefully she’ll be a regular. that dogs future is going to be filled with anguish over the grooming process. poor doggie.

[@carolines3953]

I hope she’s a new regular client now and comes back in 6-8 weeks for another groom. ❤

[@327Demi]

I wish you were in my area. My groomer just retired she has done all my dogs in the past 30 yrs. It’s so hard to find a good groomer.

[@LacrimarvmValle]

The ears make such a big difference!! She went from a senior dog to a puppy!!

[@DJ_Dutchess]

I was exhausted after watching how you painstakingly groomed her! I can't imagine how tiring it must've been for you! You could tells she felt so much better afterwards!

[@lydaalvarez123]

She looks amazing, and you can tell she feels so happy! Great job!

[@idklol3480]

As a dog groomer, it's refreshing to see even the best of the best find themselves on the struggle bus with some dogs. I loved this video!

[@CLD3988]

This could be my MalShiPoo’s twin. It’s breaking my heart seeing her coat. She’s being such a good girl. Nice job, Jess!

[@monicamiller7036]

You said “ holy cannoli” !!! I never heard anyone say it besides myself!! Lol thank you- I love it!! 😂❤

[@itsbrittjohnson]

The dog hopping in the background while you were drying her tho 😂Its always been my dream to do this! Smiling through this whole video. More plzzz!!

[@jaycaporusso9706]

i wish the mom didn’t put that harness back on her after her flea bath but that baby girl has to feel so much better 🥹 absolutely heartwarming video, you inspire me each and every video, jess! hope to follow in your grooming footsteps 💖

[@JessRonaGrooming]

Thank you! ❤

[@tinepone]

You’re a trooper Jess!! Glad you took a break and came back refreshed to finish the cut. Harlow looks amazing!

[@loribrown2142]

Awww too adorable! Love the fluffy ears❤

[@liminalgriffin8419]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a happy dog as Harlow after her groom! 🥰 you’re such a star Jess 🌟💗

[@rebeccac.1758]

That was CUTE!!

[@margaretadrdic5727]

Look how happy he is! 😊 🥰 He feels big relief poor baby. ❤

[@Rita-Indigo1111]

You're an Angel dear Jess 😇💗 Harlow must feel sooo much better! She knew you were helping her out by all the kisses she gavw you ❤

[@esperanzamartinez9096]

Wow you did it!! 👍🥰 What a struggle with her face .. it must have been quite a challenge to stay calm and persist with the groom. You are AWESOME!!! and she turned out so cute!! ❤🥰🤗

[@JessRonaGrooming]

Yes it was! But it was so worth it ❤

[@Hollywiththeflowers]

She looked so happy after oh god is there anything happier than this little doggo? You did good Jess & I’m sure the owner was just so relieved that she encountered you on your mission that day!

[@epicsauce1444]

There's absolutely no reason this baby should be in that condition!!!! I have a little Yorkie and I brush him regularly she can do the same thing!!!! This upsets me so much. Thank goodness for you. As soon as I hit the submit button I'm going to subscribe!!! ❤❤

[@margaretadrdic5727]

I agree! I have a miniature poodle and I brush him regularly. And every 6 weeks I take him to his groomer. 😊

[@DeeDragon]

@@margaretadrdic5727have two bichons and I brush them daily and get groomed every 6 weeks. It is our responsibility to take care of our pets if we decide to have one. This is really making me so mad at the owner. There’s just no reason for this

[@margaretadrdic5727]

​@@DeeDragonYou are absolutely right. Having a dog is a big happiness and love, but also a big responsibility. And a lot of people forget that part.

[@PrairieDawnC]

Sometimes the reason is the owner is overwhelmed with their own care. Lets be gentle on our neighbours because we don't know what they are going through, but maybe we can help someone in some little way. Thank you to Jess -- and all the angels out there -- who help pets whether they are owned or strays.

[@myssnoel8496]

​@@margaretadrdic5727Alot of new dog owners don't know this stuff. It's a learning curve. I didn't know what a true mat looked like for the longest time. I know what a foxtail barley mat looks like, and that was a nightmare all in itself. No amount of brushing, deranger, dematting tools and slicker brushes would get those mats out and now I know why. I didn't know foxtail barley can cause serious harm to dogs. Neither did most of the other dog owners I know. Even just brushing out normal little mats won't get them out and then my dog gets fussy and wont let me brush him. I had to find new ways of doing things. My pup gets mats so easily it's rediculous. Yes it's the owners responsibility to care for their dog, but we need to be kind to people and guide them when we can, because when people told me I was a bad owner for not knowing what a mat was, I almost rehomed my dog and it took a long time before I didn't feel like a failure. We shouldn't make others feel the same way. Now I'm knowledgeable about this stuff than most people. Especially when it comes to my dogs specific breed. People don't know the intricacate details about dog ownership and I try to help when I can on social media, because the internet searches alone give conflicting answers when doing research and people will just give up. It took me a longtime to learn. Every situation is different and sometimes you need to find your own creative ways of doing things. There are not set rules to follow when it comes to your pets. Hair care is the same way.

[@erikadowdy2382]

LOVED this video❤. Do more plz😊

[@fluffipups]

I am not a professional groomer, but I have been grooming for almost 6 years. I graduated from a $50 cheapo clipper to an Arco on my second year of home grooming and now have an array of grooming products. After all these years of learning. I think its safe to say that my grooming has improved! And especially with your videos, I just love to soak in your good vibes and valuable teachings! Something I'd like to say is that there is a obese shih tzu mix that is SUPER PELTED that walks down my street. I've been so tempted to just tell the owner that I'll give their dog a groom, but I didn't want to seem rude or too confident. I have worked on matted dogs before (my dogs were gifted to me when they were pups but poor babies were matted, and I've had a few people pay me to groom their tangled dogs) but I have never worked on an extremely pelted dog like that one before. But it breaks my heart to see the little dog every time :( Would it be a bad idea to shoot my shot and help the poor lil guy out the next time I see him/her? Would there be some liability issues?

[@zoraidita2022]

You'd be doing the dog a favor, but that's a great question?

[@michellehunter-robinson3041]

Worst thing the owner can say is, "No." 🤷🏽‍♀️. Perhaps tell the owner it's your community service offering or a part of your tithing practice, if you have a religious affiliation. Take the onus off of them and steer it towards yourself.

[@dim307]

i wonder if the owner is elderly or disabled. esp w how everything has gotten SO expensive, it could be she just can’t afford it- or in the case of disability or mobility issues, could be the owner doesn’t have a vehicle and has a hard time getting to a groomer reliably. i think if you ask and say you’d do it for free (if you’re in the same neighborhood just say you do neighborly favors here and there or something if they feel targeted 😅), it doesn’t hurt to try. worse case scenario she says no! but you might really help her out. this was a while ago tho, did you end up doing it?

[@dim307]

@@michellehunter-robinson3041 that’s a good idea. some people are just negligent but sometimes people are just really struggling that can lead to out of character negligence. this will help the owner feel less ashamed or put on the spot.

[@azeetrona]

Her makeover is incredible. You are incredible and so in tuned with your client. Grooming is intense and the psychology that is necessary to do your work 🤯! This baby & her new bob! So happy for Harlow and her mom. In regards to matting, My beloved cat, Jette, hated to be brushed & would get mats. I’d have to cut them off which of course she hated. I’m so happy you all crossed paths because the Jess Rona Grooming experience is what Harlow & her momma really needed. ❤

[@melaniehancock2210]

Awe she turned out so great! You are the sweetest with your clients. I wish I could have you groom my sweet Havanese! I’m doing everything I can to make her comfortable with all the aspects of grooming at home, her big hang up is the blow drier😂 but she’s getting better about it. Lots of toy distractions and treats! I want her to be a good girl so that the groomers don’t have to put up with the insanity that I’ve put up with 😅

I loved that you did this video , it was like our normal everyday life as a groomer , and I loved that you stopped and took a break for yourself, so many of us will force ourselves to continue on . Thank you for the reminder to care for ourselves too! Do more of these videos please! 🐶🥰

[@lidiawilliams4837]

The fact that this doggy has an actual owner, someone that sees her every day and ignores her condition , who on earth ignores that condition this poor puppy is in! I hope she is ashamed of herself, this dog is worse than some homeless dogs I have rescued !

Bruhhhhhh to be told my dogs really need a makeover because they are very matted, I cannot smile at it. Insult straight to my ego but I do deserve that. Idk how u can go for a cup of coffee and not save that for a slicker brush for your dog and brush her or him daily at home. Does not deserve this dog at all

Wonderful job! If Vanessa reads this or becomes a regular customer please tell her to quit carrying her dog that way Carrying them directly under the armpits of lifting them up under the armpits, makes their heart skip beats!!!!

[@danielleperez3516]

I don’t even want to think about her living conditions at home. This is extremely sad. She had mats fleas and gum or tar stuck in her paws. Like it’s been a long time since someone has paid any attention to the dog. It’s probably living outside too.

[@crisholly19985]

Ugh I hope she keeps up with her coat now

[@traceyrebello7713]

So awesome enjoyed the video. Love you 🥰

[@nevadastreak]

Love the whole journey. You are so wholesome. But also at 23:00 totally could not see the before and after. The "add a next video" thumbnails were on the dog faces.

[@도희-s1d]

Can we tone it down with the mean comments about the owner. Like, yeah, the dog is matted with fleas and poor doggo, but you never know what the owner is going through. Doggo seems to be walked regularly and pretty healthy in general, which is sadly better care than most owners give their small dogs. Hopefully, after this amazing makeover Jess gave her, the owner will realize that grooming is a major necessity for the quality of her babies life and starts to at least brush her. I get that criticism can help someone realize their shortcomings, but shaming and witchhunting isn't productive. Can't we all just have a bit more compassion and wish the best for the doggo and her owner?

It doesn't seem like she has a problem with brushing her face the darn air was just too much for her to handle in her face. It was probably taking her breath. But she's a good girl that's for sure. Her mom CAN do better!!!

Jess! Fellow groomer watching while sick at home today. What nail trimmers do you use? I find that the ones we have (we have a few) are very loud and tend to scare the pups. Loved watching this makeover!! ❤

I worked as a groomer's helper for about 6 -7 years, but I am STILL terrified of nail trims...whenever it's time to pick up the first paw to start on the nails my heart rate goes up significantly and I try not to do any nail trims without having someone there to hold the dog for me while I'm clipping the nails... I feel stupid about it and never actually told anyone about this...any genuine advice from anyone would be really appreciated...thank you!😅
