Most difficult job I've ever done | Samoyed Dog

as a professional pet groomer i strive to do what is best for the dog based on the breed that they are this is harper and he is a two-year-old very matted samoyed first i'm going to start with the bath i'm going to make sure that he is clean and i'm going to condition his body specifically the areas where he is very matted harper's owners called me in a panic because their regular groomer wanted to shave his entire body often times when dogs are matted the most humane thing you can do is shave them and start over but in this case harper is a double-coated dog and shaving it can severely damage his coat resulting in patchy hair loss or alopecia and it can also affect his ability to regulate his own body temperature a double coat does the same thing as what insulation does in your home it keeps them cool in the summer and warm in the winter so if you own a double coated dog you should never shave them hi you are a mess like an absolute disaster when i am speaking about double-coated dogs i'm referring to dogs that shed such as samoyeds pomeranians german shepherds labradors golden retrievers etc i sprayed him down in our deep conditioner focusing on the areas that are matted and now i am blow drying him with the high velocity dryer he is not a fan of the happy hoodie so i remove it for his comfort the reason i did not remove the mats before his bath is because i'm going to allow the dryer to do some work for me a powerful dryer will pull the mats away from the skin which will allow me to get underneath them with a longer blade or use a d matter in some areas the matting is very severe and i will not be able to get through it with a brush so i shave out just those spots the reason for harper's matting is a very common mistake that i see often with pet owners when you own a long-haired breed like this and you allow them to go swimming they will rub themselves all over the grass when they're trying to get dry the same goes for when you bathe them and they run around your house rubbing on everything and you always think it's so adorable the problem with this is that it causes cement-like mats very quickly it's important that you fully blow dry your dog after they've been wet if they are long haired to prevent this from happening in harper's case he enjoyed his time at the cottage and of course his owners do not have a dryer large enough in order to get him dry i am now switching constantly between tools i will use my scissors to split the mats and make them easier to brush i will be using my d matter my chris christensen coral brush and my metal comb you're a disaster i feel like it's never going to end after four hours a broken pair of scissors and a little bit of tears all of the mats were finally gone i clipped his nails and i shave out his paw pads i tidy up his not so grinchy feet and then i scissor up his body doing the best i can to blend the areas that have been shaved i spray him down in our vanilla chai latte cologne and i give him all the treats because he was exceptionally tolerant with the new merch coming out soon for all you pet lovers let me know in the comments what you want to buy thank you so much for watching i hope you enjoyed the happy harper
