Yes exactly! Those mats can cause skin infections and cause the dog pain and even end his life. It's wonderful this groomer was able to get a vet to sedate the dog, together they saved this dog's life! ❤️🐕🐾

Rocky is a very handsome boy. You are probably the first human to ever show him love and affection. It's hard to believe that dogs and cats can forgive humans for being so cruel to them. Humans are the real animals not dogs and cats. They have forgiveness in their hearts unlike some humans. Thank you so much for saving this beautiful boy. You are an amazing person. I wish we had more people in this world like you. You are a guardian angel.

@@Stogomet-xi5di They didn’t give him sleeping pills. They had to sedate him most likely through the catheter in his arm because the dog was fearful and combative, and it was not safe to shave him that way, and because this type of serious matting can be painful to the poor dog when shaving it out. He did a very kind and good service to this precious dog… and now this dog is in the hands of loving people because of the good that he did!
