We do a lot of Great Pyrs and Malamutes. Sometimes, shaving is the last resort. The key, is to inform the owners that once the dog is shaved is to brush them daily as the new undercoat and top coat grows. This allows for the undercoat to grow at or near the same rate as top coat so that the matting and shedding is minimized. It does not damage the hair. I wish people would quit saying that. The key… is the after care of the undercoat once it’s been shaved! Owners have to be diligent. Even if they have to hire some local kid to come daily to just brush the dog 😂 it has to be done.

[@creative2579]

What kind of brush should they use?

[@JudicialMermaid]

@@creative2579 Slicker brush! Or even a simple one like the “Wet” Brush you can get from regular stores around town. The key is to just brush them daily as it is growing to promote the hair to regrow properly so the undercoat does not start to mat as the guard hairs (the coarse long ones) are growing.

[@horsewhisperer20394]

It’s not just having a brush, it’s the tools being correct too. For long haired breeds, the Chris Christensen rake is required for long haired along with a splitter for matting and a shaver to go behind the legs/ears/sanitary/legs/stomach where most of the matting occurs. Also to get them stripped each shedding season by a groomer to prevent the matting this poor dog has. It must have hurt a great deal, and the dermatitis is a sign that the owners, have (unwittingly?) neglected this dog.

[@lynnfischer3636]

❤ I have so much respect for you and this grooming was awesome!! TU

[@dferrantiJfr]

Such a HUGE undertaking. You do a great service Marybeth and I learn so much about dog maintenance. Thanks so much.

[@lizholmes2730]

I return to this video every so often. He is such a beautiful big dog, with a fantastic coat but it's not in the best condition, it looks dry. It is also refusing to let the undercoat loosen from the outer hair. Heartbreaking to make the decision to shave him but he needed it no matter what he is saying to you... Its great you made him feel better, lighter, non itchy, hot etc.....

[@judyhuffman5893]

I really can not understand why the viewers criticize you for shaving a severely matted dog! We all know that you do ONLY wht is best for the dog. Bless you, MaryBeth!!

[@nicholahenwood8191]

He is NOT severely matted !

[@tonycamaj7243]

Because every matted dog that goes to her usually gets shaved. If you watch any other groomer for ex girl with the dog you’ll see extremely matted dogs that she grooms without shaving.

[@nicholahenwood8191]

@@tonycamaj7243she didn’t even try !

[@jeanettelong-i6j]

This dog was in good shape from what I could see, the blade went through the hair fairly easy, even when wet. He should have been brushed prior to bath to remove some of undercoat and remove/trim any matting. Yes, clipping a dirty dog dulls blades, I did not see dirty water from this dog...buy new blades. Have you ever thought that instead of constantly making a dog turn around that maybe you could go to the other side of the table, especially on a big dog like this who isn't used to the table? You show a lot of frustration, if you are so worried about your health (and the dog) maybe you should not take on a dog that requires the extra effort. Brushes and combs are there for a reason, your fingers are neither of these. Anybody can shave a dog, so before anyone says anything, I was a professional groomer for over 30 years.

I have watched your videos for a long time- maybe years. I took my black lab -golden retriever mix, 145 lb dog to a groomer. First, to find one was a challenge. Not every groomer will work with big dogs. We asked for a summer cut!!! I couldn’t keep up with brushing. It was a great idea!!😮😅😊

Just have to send him home with a blankie until this cold snap passes!❤ He is so well-behaved and patient.

[@MrsMedicate]

I had to shave a Samoyed once and it broke my heart. When the matting is too severe there is nothing you can do but hope for the best.

[@marieutterback-sm5to]

These double coated dog take a lot of WORK. Not just water conditioner laid on, blowing. You must use more than a slicker brush. Comb, shedding comb, matt breaker, ya it takes more than a slicker.

[@MarieSmith-yi4pe]

[@shanynfarrar3064]

Do you stop and give the dog water and/or treat? Never had a pet before due to allergies and asthma.

[@MrsMedicate]

You shouldn't give out treats without talking to the owner first in case the dog has allergies. I'm sure he got a bowl of ester after the groom

I'm also allergic so I got a toy poodle a month ago and it has brought so much love and joy to me. She's all over my face with kisses and my allergies are fine!

[@hydrobetty5765]

The fact there was a fungus or something under his coat was a tell tell sign something was wrong and needed to be treated that no one saw…as well as all the matting. In this case it’s putting the dog first. Hopefully he can be inside away from high sun and the cold. Such a well behaved doggy❤

You don't have to take a double coated dog to the skin. Usually

[@HeatherLedford-s3p]

Hello there Marybeth. Thank you so very much for everything you do. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding 👍💪. This boy was so well behaved

[@StoneWolf99801]

If you can't spend a little bit of time each day to brush and groom a dog like this, then don't own a dog like this. They need to be brushed daily! My long hair Chihuahua's get brushed three times a day, 10 minutes each time, and they have never had a Matt or even a single tangle. And there double coated and I've never taken s issues or trimmers to there coats except for toes and a little sanitary strip. Pantaloons, ruffs, tails, all are full and fluffy! They gets bath every other week, and there coats are shiny and white, there combs go through them easy and they feel fluffy and soft and smellgood. My girls are beautifu!! It jut takes a little bit of effort, and if you do it daily, even on a big dog, it's less work. And its a bonding time with your dog.

[@Molten4]

I so agree. Pets are not luxury items that only the wealthy should have in their oversized Gucci bags. People who go from paycheck to paycheck often take better care of their pets than themselves. Some people are having difficulties right now, as you said, but meanwhile the cost of living is up and the costs of food and health care for their pets has become ridiculous. I am not saying pets don't deserve it but Vets and Corporations could be more reasonable. They are capitalizing on the people who tell everyone else what to do. Oh, btw, my son's husky is big a loves sleeping in a small crate, (instead of her big one). Do you, Marybeth. People do like to *****! This was a tough one! Great job going with the flow!

[@lisakane6708]

Marybeth! It's probably a good thing you did shave that big, handsome boy. Otherwise, you wouldn't have found that sore and smell on his back. People need to get over it and stop being so mean. Marybeth is doing what's best for him. The owners are aware, so it's not like she is doing anything wrong. If anything, he will feel much better now that his sore can heal properly. Be nice or find another channel. Marybeth is an amazing groomer.😊

A rest during the clip might be helpful for this dog. It may have arthritis, which is common in larger breeds. It can hurt to stand up for so long during a groom.

[@audreyconner8655]

I always had to trim mine down in the summer because of hot spots. I always cut the most of it with scissors then comb then clip. During the summer she always wanted to be outside. These dogs were ment for cold weather. I would brush her evey other day and still have problems. So I understand how bad it can get and sometimes that's the best thing for the dog.

[@janeyumasheva8599]

The double coat is letting them stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Mother nature made it already, don't touch the double coat. And all professional groomers don't use the cage, because it causes extra stress for the dog. Poor malamute, hope he would stay healthy and not get alopecia or "coat funk", so he has to be shaved all his life. 😢

[@audreyconner8655]

My dog was 10 years old. She started getting hot spots so I took her to the vet. He said I needed to shave her in the summer and change her food. I did both. I hated doing the cut because I loved her long hair. She did better after that. It gets in the 100s here and 90s at night. She couldn't pant enough to keep cool.

MB, meaning no disrespect, but we have never heard of a Malamute needing to be shaved. What were the owners thinking? They should be brushing him so that he wouldn't need to be shaved down to the skin. They are cold weather dogs. We would imagine that it will take a long time before his full coat has grown again.

I have more than one log coated dogs. I always brush them out before bathing. This coat did not look that bad. Undercoat on a Malamute only comes out when it's shedding season. It's not that he is double coated it's saving a beautiful coat takes work and time. Shaving is easy. I had a Malamute and I would never have allowed this. I see a normal Malamute coat.

He wasn't matted until she didn't brush out before adding water. Then she didn't use forceful water pressure to try and get the hair worked out. She just laid conditioner on top.

[@reneebear375]

Honestly this looks more like compaction than matting?? you can't pull apart matted hair so easily when grabbed.. There was no attempt at even a high velocity blow dry to see if the hair actually flies out? I know there was mention of why you dont scrub in product, but if there is matting, or even a coat as THICK as this guys, there's no way it'll get down to the skin without a scrub.

All that beautiful fur could be spun into yarn like the indigenous people of the north did. Dogs like this helped support a whole village. I have been saving my Samoyeds fur for just that purpose. There are still skilled weavers online that can make yarn from fur and weave something for you.
