If the owners let him get like that I doubt they will change. Poor guy. Thanks for taking care of him.

[@jomarie6860]

I think he has new owners this winter. Poor, poor dog!

And I doubt that he has his shots.🌡️💉💊🩺🩻

[@cosmicmuffin322]

What kind of person could adopt him and let him be like that?!

[@thulekovish8188]

Poor Chukka (spelling?), ten years old and his body is full of ticks that could give him tick fever. He's sweet, lovable, and likes to give his paws. Thanks for cleaning him up, he needs it badly. I hope Chukka's family will take better care of him for his own health and also for their health too. A big hug to Chukka.

[@StinkyButton]

I doubt they will. A tiger doesn’t change its stripes.

[@bessmulholland5805]

I soo would love ❤️ if the owner’s can’t do what’s best for him,put him ⬆️ for adoption 😊

[@wilmal4087]

OMG!! 😭😥 Thank you, Thank you !!For all the help for these poor dogs. Thank you!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💐💐🐾💟💟

[@janhogan3873]

Unbelievable the amount of ticks, you have both done an incredible job for this lovely dog, I echo all the other remarks about the owner's lack of care!! Thank you both very much for helping the dog.

[@Whistlewalk]

That dog was so lucky that you groomed him. As difficult as it was for you, you probably saved the poor puppers life. Thank you for that.

[@sandiblohm6733]

It amazes me the bad shape this dog is in, and he stands still, waging his tail. What a good dog...... so happy you two did this for him. ❤

[@raeleneelford9133]

Thankyou for what you and Sanja do for these poor and neglected fur babies. I’m sure he feels so much better with all those tics and mats gone. ❤

[@kiarakeykeymowry3903]

worked at a Veterinary hospital where an Australian Cattle dog was brought in weak and very very anemic from ticks. When we finally removed the majority of them there were almost 3 gallon sized bags full of ticks and more kept falling off. The worst part of seeing this kind of thing is it is preventable the medication is cheaper than the veterinary fees when things go bad.

[@ES11777]

Was he a rescue case? Or did the owners bring him in like that?

[@ncbeachbumintx]

True.. ppl who get pets and neglect them are a huge problem.. animals feel pain and they suffer needlessly at the hand of irresponsible owners 😡🐾🙏🏻💙

[@bessmulholland5805]

People who don’t people who don’t give their animals proper care are not worthy of having any thay are living creatures who deserve proper care for their lifetime as do humans ❤️✅we all are living breathing

[@bessmulholland5805]

The same

[@bessmulholland5805]

Some people just don’t care.It all just comes down to money 💰

[@sandrajordan9653]

I felt your frustration through the screen. Thank you for helping that dog. He looked so much better. You and Sonya have hearts of gold!

[@SarumGirl]

Well done both of you for doing a really difficult groom in the best way you could. That poor boy would have been in such grave trouble if those ticks had grown greater in numbers. I hope the owner can be persuaded to get him the right protection against those horrid things and themselves and their home too. I'm sure that made you both realise how important the work is that you do for these uncared for dogs. Not only do they need good homes but the new owners have to be made aware of the protection they need for health too, for their sake as well as the dogs..

[@Ziggyaig]

You two do a great job!! Will the "owner" be fines for neglect in a case like this? They definitely should be!! Thanks for caring about dogs that really need help!!

[@sandiblohm6733]

I have to say, I was not much of a dog lover before watching your videos, but I am turning into one.... to see how great these dogs are, even though neglected. Great job!!!

[@carolknepp5791]

It is so sad and shameful that anyone would not take good care of this dog. Thank you and may God bless you two for doing this wonderful service. Thank you for being so caring.

[@jessicaclasson7477]

Thank you so much for what you and Sanja do to help dogs in need. Yes we do have ticks that bad in Maryland, USA. I took hundreds of ticks off of a neighbors dog myself. Thank you Lukic for sharing your wonderful mission.

[@claymonsterpottery]

I’m in Maryland too.

[@bessmulholland5805]

THANKYOU both 😮😢😅😊good job to both 😊😊😊

[@bessmulholland5805]

You two are just soo care ing ❤😮😊

[@ladonnawhatley904]

If the owner didn't want to groom him until better weather he should have flea and tick control applied!

[@lrx54]

It’s a few days after the groom. It’s hard to imagine the life that dog experienced before the groom, no doubt years of constant tic bites. He must be feeling amazing today, with healthy skin. Your mission is honorable 🙌🥇 Thank you

[@lisamannino4556]

You pulled a miracle on this poor dog. He looks amazing and I'm sure feels so much better as a result of his groom. I hope the owner is going to take him to the vet to be checked out and get flea and tick protection for this poor fur baby. The dog did extremely well throught the whole groom. He's going to make a good pet.

[@bessmulholland5805]

You need to give him a soothing bath 🧼 after this😊

[@shannongoodall1049]

I just wanted to say that I think you both are amazing people .I truly appreciate what you did for that poor dog! You seriously saved his life as well as giving him a chance to feel comfortable in his own skin. I wish there were more people in this world like you both. You all give me hope god bless you both .

[@melissatabor3619]

Thank you both again!

[@joannecollins135]

You and Sanja are just awesome. You should change your name to Dog’s Best friend! The fact that you take care of these neglected dogs so beautifully ALL the time is heartwarming❤️❤️❤️

[@joycemiraglia280]

✍ Hello Damjen and Sanja...Its sad that people who seem to care about their pets Don't... This poor dog is such a nice animal and Doesn't need these uncaring owners. If they don't have the time or money to spend on a dog 🐾they shouldn't have a dog. Its like having a child and it takes having responsibility to care for them.🐕 God Bless LuvYa! Bye from your digital pen pal in Ohio USA 🇺🇸

[@paulacoffey8269]

Thank you for being so caring and kind enough to support these poor animals .

[@jannamarie3990]

That poor baby 😢 thank God you helped him ❤ unfortunately here in the US, a lot of places in the summer, just about anywhere there are trees or tall grass we also have ticks very bad... I wish all the pet parents understood how dangerous and important it is to protect their pets from fleas and ticks! 😢 and as you have said many times, how dangerous it is for us as well! IT IS NO JOKE!! Again, thank you for doing all you can do to help in every way you can ❤

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

Such a sweet dog. He did not deserve this neglect. Thank you for taking care of him. I hate to think of him going back to these conditions.😢

[@celiatawora1263]

Couldn’t believed there were so many ticks on this poor dog n he was so matted, you both did a great work getting rid of the ticks, I heard that having so many ticks can be dangerous. Thank you both for saving this dog n I hope he will have happy family that would adopt him n good home!!

[@sharoncrigger-stokan2282]

Bless your hearts for all you do for these dogs! And Bless their hearts for having to live under such circumstances! Thank you and Sanja for what you do! ❤️

[@diannebernau3293]

I don’t know how the owner could let their dog get in this condition. It didn’t happen overnight and is just pure neglect. They should be reported and don’t deserve to have him returned to them. Poor Chukka, hopefully he is being looked after better now. Thank you, as always, Damjan and Sanja, for your patience and care. 😘💕🐶🇦🇺

[@mercynegron2959]

God bless you all ❤

[@harrietlivengood6793]

Poor boy, so sad his owners have neglected him so badly. He deserves so much better than this. I’m glad you’ve helped this little guy. He’s such a good fella. I hope the owners will do better but after 14 years of neglect I doubt they will! Shameful! He looks amazing after the grooming. God bless you and Sanja for helping these little dogs. ❤❤

[@patriciamarsh221]

This was a difficult grooming, you did a wonderful job on this poor dog. I'm sure he feel one hundred percent better, Thank u

[@kathysims8124]

Poor baby, glad you groomed him.

[@penbrown4049]

Very well done. It was so tense for you. Both working together as a team you did good. Close together in a small space it ends up like a dance! Poor doggy. I really felt happy for him as his big tail was released but there was still such a long way to go. He looked a bit grumpy after his bath, he sure didn't like the spray earlier but it had to be done x You are angels ❤️❤️ but devils against ticks !!!! Xxx

[@slbarbieri1725]

I think this was the hardest groom you've ever done, I could feel how stressed out you were and sad for the dog.

[@Dlwinborne]

I am hooked on you videos and your great work! Thanks to you both for caring for these defenseless animals!!!

[@misskitty5496]

Awww 😔what a groom for the 3 of you. You must feel really upset, but he is letting you know it's okay for him by giving his paw. Wow those paws must of been really painful for him. You are both very experienced and caring take care from the 🇬🇧 x

You are great ! 💖💖🐕🐕💖💖🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️💖💖

[@claymonsterpottery]

You asked about similar situations. I worked at a vet when I was in college and a woman brought in a cat that was barely moving. She said it had laid on its bed and not moved in several days. Long story short, it had so many fleas it had almost no fur on its body and almost no blood left in its body. We couldn’t believe it was still alive. I washed that poor kitty 5 times and then it had 4 blood infusions. We called the humane society and they decided the woman should not be allowed to have the cat back as she had neglected it so terrible. It did survive and they found it a new home with humans who actually deserved a pet. The owners of that dog do not deserve him. And I bet your skin will be crawling for days. I see one tick and want to take my own bath in Actinon. Thanks so much for giving that poor pup the only attention and care it’s seen for years. So sad.

[@raquelwelch8996]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo he is a beautiful boy!! God bless you for what you do!

[@GenXWench]

Great job you two, what a nightmare. I hope this pup's suffering is in his past. I also think some of those ticks came through the screen because I feel itchy all over and am feeling the crawly stuff. Ugh, ticks are nasty and we have dealt with many ticks over the years. We had to switch to a tick repellent because Soresto works great and is so convenient, but only after the tick bites, so our dogs would constantly have ticks on them in the Spring. So we had to switch back to monthly Frontline treatments and used Permethrin on clothing. Permethrin is also great to put on cotton and stuff in toilet paper rolls to leave around your property. The birds and mice will use the cotton for their nests and kill the ticks too and not hurt them. Keep up the good work and sharing your stories. GODSPEED. ❤️🙏🐶

[@judithdenotter9357]

That pow wasnt easy but you fixed it ! Super groom again Damjan

[@annegreen9499]

That was a great job! Ticks are a real menace to animals & humans. They're definitely a problem here in Scotland especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors in the countryside. My parents always taught me to make sure my legs were covered & trousers tucked into my socks if we were working or walking in long grass & fields etc. Prevention is the best way & is so much less expensive than removal or god forbid treatment if your animals, or you, get infected. I think a lot of people aren't aware of how serious Lyme Disease is for humans & how long term it's affects can be on the body. All our animals are treated with tick, flea & mite preventatives. This was a great service you provided & I hope it helps raise awareness in the owners & other viewers who see it & perhaps didn't fully understand how serious & potentially deadly ticks can be to them & their pets. xx

[@betsymach2435]

When we lived in a state near a forest, WV, the ticks were really bad in warm weather. We had a Beagle, short hair, and every evening I sat on the porch and picked ticks off him and smashed them with a brick. I didn't know about a medicine that could have been given him that would kill the ticks but would have used it if I had known. This was about 40 years ago. It's the owner's responsibility to take care of the health of their pets.

[@nadiabelize]

Oh my , by end of this video I felt I had ticks and I don’t even have any pets ! 😮 great job on this poor dog .

[@jackierash9680]

Poor puppy he was sadly neglected thankfully theres people like you who care !💖👍

[@kathleenneff6275]

Such a good dog! So glad his owner brought him to you so you could help him & hope you tell the owner all about the tick born diseases he could catch by neglecting his dog so Chukka's situation improves.

I can't think of anything different to say,...than what has been said before about these neglected dogs. Just thank GOD for your kindness

[@mansbestfriend1995]

Thank you Mary so much for the kind words and for the support😊

[@pattiemoseley8752]

Yes, back home in Amarillo, Texas, we had a horrible problem with tree ticks. We did use flea and tick preventative but for some reason it didn't work on the tree ticks. That's when we found out that ticks can't swim. So you can dround them in a cup of water

[@lhs761]

So satisfying to see the tail clear of the mats and seeing it wag:)

[@ellenoneill7853]

Poor boy looks so sore. Thanks for helping him.

Děkuji moc, co pro pejsky děláte. Nemohu pochopit, jak to někdo může udělat. Nechat je bez pomoci. Měla jsem 14 let pejska. Loni bohužel zemřel a mně dodnes moc chybí. Proto si moc vážím lidí, jako jste vy dva. Zdravím z České republiky.

[@susancaulfield6644]

That was a very difficult groom. Took a very long time to groom and the chicks very nasty burgers. He must feel like a new dog. Bless him. You both in every way the you treated him, he will make a wonderful dog for all the family including to be near children. Such a very friendly guy giving you his without being asked for his paw such a very loving dog big heart.😘😘😉😉😉😉😉😉😚😚😚😙😙😙🙏🙏😇😇😇😇

I was exhausted just watching you removing the ticks. But then removing all that hair too, that dog was very good.

[@mollymackenzie3307]

Damjan, you're going to need a bigger Ektanon cup! =) After watching this video, I had the creepy crawlies. I felt bugs crawling all over me. =P XD That poor dog!

[@mayasilliman1465]

God bless you both for all you do, but in this dog's case of hundreds of ticks, I don't think the owner should have the dog back. This is not right the dog probably suffered for a long time. A little loving care and then an adoption should happen. I am grateful for a human being like yourself who loves them enough to give a shave and bath and then treats, water and a collar! Hope you both get great things in your lives!!

[@avacadman2155]

I remember this video very well! It really made an impression on me for a dog to have so many tics! And you getting one on your face, also his nail caught up in his matted hair. Such a neglected dog by his owners! But you worked hard on him, both of you to get him clean and tic free! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@maudwelford1843]

Congratulations 💕🇬🇧

[@ladysmith3578]

I’m sorry. Some people are fit to have pets of any kind or children. They won’t take care of either. God bless you and Sanja for this sweetheart. ❤

[@JoLovell-k1f]

I would adopt that baby in a heartbeat!

[@DipityS]

Great job - well done 😊

[@Bobo411]

It's crazy that some of your most difficult jobs aren't strays, they just have terrible owners. Seems Sisyphean but thanks for all your work. I'm sure the dog was in a lot of pain but it was kinda cute how curious he was about the little tick cup. You have a lot of patience too. Other groomers I see on YT seem to get vety annoyed at the first sign the dog might cause trouble.

[@cathyjackson5959]

Y’all are Amazing ppl!!!! This boy is so handsome!! ❤️🐶❤️ I try to not put blame on ppl, the owner just got this old boy in Winter!! I’m sure he was not groomed or flea free when they took him in!! They connected with you to give him the best chance!! Lucky them & their boy!! Now they have have the opportunity to help him much more than just taking him in matted and flea ridden. I live in Georgia, USA & we have high humidity and very hot summers, so I don’t see a lot of these type dogs-some but not a lot. Usually the 3-5 I’ve seen are kept clean and brushed during winter and in spring get shaved. It’s just too hot here!!

[@DawnLeasure]

In the beginning of this video, you said he had been rescued by the new owners and the new owners did not want him groomed until it got warmer. So did they keep this dog outside until it got warmer? Did they not notice all the ticks and matting? Praying these owners take care of this furbaby now that you have taken the time to groom him! Thank you for what you do!

[@NanaJanePhillips]

Thanks for helping that poor dog.

Hi. You did a very good job whit this dog. And so many ticks he must have blod. ? And here in Sweden we don t have dogs ho not have a ovner. But shore..the dogs can have ticks anyway. But not so many..and the ovner of a dog is buye stuff so the ticks not come on the dog. You did a very god job of this dog. And he is wery happy I think. Take care !❤ Mariann Sweden

[@raquelbusby4098]

Hi Damien and Sanja, You have done a great job for this poor dog. In Australia we use Bravecto to prevent fleas and ticks on cats and dogs. Unfortunately vets are having problems buying the serum to treat ticks. We have a paralysis tick here which is deadly if not treated quickly.

[@nanaprn7809]

I have watched videos from a country in SE Asia where two women go out as a team into the country primarily to remove ticks from dogs. The number of ticks they remove is phenomenal!! I can't believe that the people living with those animals aren't adversely affected. Unfortunately human beings the world over think nothing of abusing and abandoning animals.

The bigger ticks are actually the other size ticks but did you know they’re bigger cause they took the blood from that poor dog? They’re engorged with blood. If I lived near you I’d be helping you both. You are wonderful people ❤
