WORST CONDITION IVE EVER SEEN

[@LadyHauntress]

People saying that she needs to be nicer to the dog what the heck. No she isn't loving on it, but she isn't rough with it or abusing it. She is doing her job and with how it smells it is probably harder to be affectionate and touching. She keeps it safe and does what she can do for it.

[@mjeanc29]

It’s a shame, but the reason The dog is being so good is probably because the dog is half dead from blood loss With The flea infestation, so sad horrible the groomer is to be commended for her care, sympathy, and love that she displays to the dog. how frustrating it must be.

The horrible thing about this is, she will try to get rid of fleas, cut hair, but it needs a vet for meds etc. AND it will go back to home where it's most likely flea infested so everything she is doing will be for nothing.

[@annoymousme722]

Let's pray this is a start for recovery for this little girl. Hopefully the owner will take more steps at home to rectify the situation. Their home must be so flea infested. I would think the owner would be just eaten up by fleas too, which could cause a serious health condition for them. I know she is afraid to call animal control on the pet owner. To help this little dog and the owner, someone should call senior, elder protective services. I am picturing how bad their home must be. They need help.

You never told him he is a good boy! I would say if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! This poor old dog had no choice about his coat and fleas! He was neglected but being her age she probably can't afford grooming and someone else may be paying after seeing the shape he is in. Be sure to tell them if money is preventing them from getting him clean you will do it for nothing for the dog to stay clean. Her other dog has to have fleas too! Guide them to a good flea prevention. Drops or good collars. I use Soresto collars for mine. They are great! I'm halfway through and the only reassuring words you've said are, "Your Okay." Please talk sweetly to the animals! This one is old and sick. You're freezing him too. Be nicer! It costs you nothing extra. You must have something to spray on him for the smell. Sorry to be so critical of your behavior. I was a vet tech and had to shave many dirty stinky flea infested animals. Cats and dogs! If you don't want to be criticized don't put videos on You Tube!

She said the owner is 75 and disabled. Key word, disabled. So IMO- Disabled seniors generally have a caregiver and considering the very poor shape this poor dog was in, the home must be a nightmare. If this owner doesn't have a caregiver I would hope this would be reported to Senior and Disabled Services. Then there's the problem of Case Workers being piled up with so many clients that it's impossible to manage properly. So therein lies the problem. We as a society really need to do better! I volunteer my time whenever I see a problem like this and get people on the right track. Maybe if more of us put in a bit of time instead of criticizing and degrading we wouldn't see so much of this. This is a societal problem. Just my opinion. Think about it...

[@Kipper388]

Sometimes I wonder why she went into this business, considering her lack of empathy for the difficult and neglected cases. I was a groomer at our local animal shelter and I saw way too much of it. How often must you mention how bad the dog smells, we get the picture. Instead of standing at a distance, while observing, the poor dog shivers soaking wet. Quit explaining how “sad and made” it makes you; pick him up and cuddle him in a towel.

This one made me cry. 2 years ago, my 18 1/2 year old Shih tzu was put down. She looked so much like this puppy. I had plans for the vet visit, but my friend and landowner was killed in a head on wreck. I felt such grief I could not lose my Emmy too. I did wait about 3 weeks, so she was in really bad condition. No fleas and no mats, but the weakness, thinness, blind and deaf, and just lost. I could not make her suffer any longer just because I was in pain. Hardest thing I have ever done. Felt like my whole world was gone. There is always a back story. No room for judgement. we never know what may happen in our future. She may be cleaning this baby before she says her last good bye. I put my Emmy through a groom for that reason. I do my own grooming. Fortunately, we had the luxury of doing it in short spells. No excuse for the fleas, but I understand the slowness for a groom.

I am 79 and could not give the puppy a proper life. If you can’t care for your dog with respect and love find someone who can. Suggest they do the same!

[@patricianelson9164]

Ask the owner would she want to be in this condition. Where is her compassion? God expects us to take care of His creations, this precious dog needs care! I glad you are talking to her and a vet will be involved. I’m amazed! This dog probably doesn’t get petted either.

[@marlenemahlum6687]

Thank you for doing what you can. Even though she/he may be deaf a gentle touch may be all they need. The vet would probably recommend putting it down. My heart breaks for this poor baby. ❤❤❤

[@jedilittlebee]

Eye contact and soft kind words/voice don’t require hugs. The thing is, I’ve heard dogs are very sensitive to the moods of those around them. If you are upset or angry, they will automatically think you’re mad at them and feel worse. You really have to try to suppress your own emotions, so as not to adversely affect them. They did nothing wrong, and they absolutely need your love and support.@@melaniekendall4903

[@DivinelyAdge]

This poor baby could’ve been shown more love and affection than the frustration that was taken out on her. And, YES, definitely report the owner!!! Forget about losing a client!!! This and the other dog she didn’t bring in, deserve love and compassion. Such a sad state of affairs. I definitely would not be going to this groomer. She seems to only be in it for the money. And, yes, you need to get paid. But where is the compassion for the poor pup?? #disgusted #frustrated #heartbroken

I was a vet tech for several years so I understand the frustrations of situations like this, but the way you treated this dog was disgusting. I lost count of how many times you shot that pressurized water straight in its face, while bitching the entire time. I feel so bad for the animals you tend to if this is your temperament towards a clearly neglected animal.

This practically a medical procedure I feel like the kindest thing to do is get the cut done as quick as possible, shes gentle the whole time , the dogs not going to stop being scared so wasting time to comfort, it would just prolong. Think about it would you want a doctor to stop in the middle of a procedure for you to wait until your not scared anymore to continue or just have be done as fast as possible.

[@annoymousme722]

I think some people on here are over exaggerating the circumstances in this video. I don't see this groomer being mean, or abusive to the dog. She is trying to get it taken care of as quickly as possible, so her business doesn't get a flea infestation, help the dog get some relief and feel better, plus time is money. They can't afford to spend hours and hours on one animal at a time. All things considered, it went well. I can understand her frustration and commenting on the smell. The dog may have an infection from flea bites and thick matted hair. Some people have weak stomachs. Plus, be reasonable, she is narrating in her own video to give you her own perspective of what it is like in that particular situation. Describing all the senses. They don't have scratch and sniff videos yet! The little dog is being sooo good! It did deserve a bandanna. It was well behaved, no reason not to. That was a little selfish I have to admit, when hearing that comment. It would have cost only a few cents. The dog certainly didn't ask to be abused and be treated and cared for that way. Please don't take it out on the poor animals. I don't think you intentionally meant for it to come across that way. I get it, I wouldn't be happy either seeing the poor animal that way. Patience is a virtue. If you are going to be a groomer, unfortunately, sometimes there are going to be situations like this that require more patients, and understanding. Especially if you are going to publish videos. People will be more likely to use your services when they see you treat all animals with tender loving care. Their pets are their babies. They want to know they are in good hands. These animals that have been neglected, abused or abandoned, even more so, deserve the extra love and attention that they obviously aren't getting elsewhere. *** TIP for anyone dealing with a flea infestation. I did this for someone I knew a few years ago that had fleas real bad, and had tried to get rid of them in their home and on their dog, but we're not having any luck. Use PURE PEPPERMINT OIL used for food. I always get the tiny Loraine bottles. They have always worked. I know people have tried different brands and aromatherapy versions and they don't get the same results as what I use. (The Lorain oils are used in foods, to make things like hard candy.) Make sure it is the PEPPERMINT flavor. Other flavors won't work. Some stores keep their Lorain oils behind the counter in their pharmacy dept. Don't get the artificial kind or the extract kind. Extract is not pure oil, it is a weak version and will not work. It has to be pure peppermint oil for it to work. The bottles are about the size of your thumb. Very concentrated. They are about $1.25 each. I usually buy it by the case (12 bottles at a time) and keep it on hand. Take two bottles and pour into a 16 -20 oz. spray bottle. Fill with tap water. Shake well, before and during use. Spray the dog all over with the solution. *(Keep out of eyes.) If the dog has a really bad case of fleas, spray the dog 2-3 times a day, until fleas disappear. When I did it,l was housing sitting for this person. I even sprayed my pant legs and shoes so they wouldn't jump on me. The fleas disappeared in about 2 to 3 days. Then once a week spray the dog to keep fleas from coming back. This is so much better than all the toxic chemicals used! Also, at the same time, after spraying the dog, take the same spray bottle and thoroughly go around the entire house, spraying floors, furniture, beds, closets, everywhere!!! Be sure to spray under the furniture. Again spray 2 to 3 times a day, until the fleas all disappear. Spray around your door entrances, windows, vehicles if fleas are there, kennels, pet beds, pet clothing, etc. Then take several cotton balls and soak with peppermint oil. Place cotton balls under furniture, in closets, rub cotton balls with oil and rub all along the inside of door frames, windows. Place soaked cotton balls in cabinets, dressers, closets and leave one in each trash can, placing between the can and bag. If you are concerned about the oil on soaked cotton ball being left, place on top of a small bottle cap or other small lid or container (just don't enclose it). I read an article about this several years ago. This will not only cure your flea problems, but will keep any bugs out of your home, and even small rodents. You won't see spiders, silver fish, roaches, fleas, bed bugs, house flies, nats, etc. Again, all chemical free, no harsh chemical smells, smells good, safe for pets and children. The only thing I read was, to not to put on cats, but you can put around the home and spray diluted directly on dogs. Then after you get whatever problem you have under control, just go around and refresh with new peppermint oil once or twice a month. I have never seen spiders, flies or any insects since I started using Lorain peppermint oil. I wish I had known about it years earlier when I had dogs. Fleas have been around for millions of years and one of the hardest insects to get rid of. Good luck!

[@EdgarAllanJo]

All you did was moan and complain and took your frustration out on that poor, little dog. The poor creature didn’t ask to be in the awful condition they were in, and they most certainly did not need to hear your continuous tone of disgust about how badly they smelled. You could have at least told the poor baby a few words of kindness and put aside your own feelings and patted the baby, but you were incapable of even doing that small act of kindness for that poor dog. Poor baby.

[@ellenfarmer1904]

I haven't been on your channel for a while, Marybeth, yet this "Worst Dog Ever" video came up today, so I watched it again. Your channel was my first, and I learned about professional dog grooming from your videos. I have seen a few other dog grooming channels since, and everyone has their own style. Your anger and upset with that poor negleted dog's condition, was clear, it was very hard to see the suffering of the dog for sure! I did feel the dog needed to go to the vet from your shop, yet a difficult spot for you to be in. I dealt with a abuse case in my specialty, which is the horse world. I worked at first anonymously then worked directly with the Ma. Humane society to get the 2 horses removed. It took too long, yet I had to be their voice! ❤ Best of luck to you!!! 🐾 ❤ 🐾

If I were a groomer I'd be more worried about the dogs and the human than me losing a customer. This poor poor animal should NEVER be that bad. Imagine what the other dog looks like. No one will know if you report owners unless you say something about it. Please PLEASE from now on, think about the animals before you think about losing customers.

So disappointing for her to say that.

[@nickypaul]

I think the point of saying that wasnt of I'd lose customers and money. The point is alot of these dogs would continue in this condition if not for free grooms. So if they fear reporting the dog will never be looked after at the groomers at all being a worse situation for more dogs. It's not about losing money but the potential to help other dogs

I remember this video when you first shared it years ago. Your lack of empathy and the fact you didn’t use a single kind or reassuring word to this little dog shocked me then and has shocked me equally today. Rather than seeing this as doing little Sophie a kindness, you saw her as a hindrance…poor little thing. Yes, her owner is at fault, but does that mean it’s ok for you to ignore her emotional needs too?

[@jeanneparisot237]

She should not feel so bad for the flee. As soon as she will get home, she will get re-infested immediately by the other dogs and certainly the whole house. Pretty sure the cleaning is at the picture of the body of that poor dog. Coated with rotting food, trash and feces everywhere. I worked with vets when I was younger, and 3 of them told me that when dogs are so old that they have not very much time left, an awful smell start to exude from their whole body, despite bathing them regularly. The ones who are so sick that it is obvious they will not make it have the same smell. It is like the smell of the early stage of a decaying corps. And yes. It is so bad that it can stain a whole house. Years later, when I visiting my sister, our old family dog have that exact same awful smell. My sister told me that she already have a vet appointment in 3 days for putting her to sleep. She was a fantastic dog. Highly intelligent. We teach her a lot of tours that it take her only 3 times to learn. And she was in love with my sister. We had adopting her as a family dog. A little Jack Russell Terrier crossbreed almost named "Hoï Han", but the rescue center rename her "Hanoï", and since she already knew her new name and it was not a bad one, we keep it. A very sweet girl. She have a lot of fear about being abandoned, so when her leash came off, she sat and refused to move until we put it back. It take her less than 3 month to understand that when we put her off leash, it was because the place was safe for her to run free. But she always came back and forth between us all, like she was scared than one of us could get lost. My sister deeply love her and take her when she moved out. But at her last time, Hanoï was in pain with arthritis, completely paralyzed from her rear end, almost deaf and almost blind. When she start smelling bad, my sister told me that she knew it was time. It was a terrible lost for all of us, but specially my sister. Sometime, the better proof of love you can give to a pet, is letting them going when it is their time.

[@donnastanley9969]

I am so surprised the dog is still alive, the owner being 75 yrs old is no excuse, if she can drive her car she can take the dog to the vet, makes you wonder what her home is like, and the fact she had family, Friends and Neighbours sit there and watch this little soul suffer, they are as responsible as she is!!!
