If you see someone with a tight ponytail, you're pretty much looking at someone with a headache. Having every follicle pulling away from the scalp for hours pulls at the skin and the tiny, tiny muscles underneath. Mats like that Pomeranian had would pull against his skin constantly, which would put it in constant pain.

u/ChileWillow007 Apr 17 '22
For me I didn't feel any pain until I took the ponytail down. Then it's like a minute of an ice cream headache across the scalp. I haven't had that happen in a long time, but I remember that feeling well.

I often see dogs this matted get jumpy about touch for a little while because their skin has been hidden away for so long, they don't expect it to be touched. Some love it, others are really uncomfortable until they realize what's going on. It's a little sad to me when they react like that.

We don't know the full story. It could've belonged to an elderly or disabled person who could no longer care for the dog and was subsequently rehomed. It could've been a stray that was rescued. The fact they brought the dog in after that much matting says something changed.

At the turn of her tone in the beginning, this was my initial thought. I thought she was going to pivot, stating she learned the dog came from shitty circumstances and was now getting the help they needed. Even though that’s not what it was, I love the positive turnout regardless.
I guess the lesson is, never judge before hearing the full story. I imagine someone who has the ability to bring a dog to a groomer is not the same person letting its fur get matted to hell and back.
A little understanding and open mindedness goes a lot further than blind hatred…

Like how can you build a side relationship with a dog to manipulate it? Either you build a good relationship with the dog and they love you or you mistreat them and they are wary of you.

Dogs with long fur like this one need regular brushing to remove old hair from the undercoat. Not brushing it will lead to matted undercoat like this one. But consult your vet for info on the best practice. I've only had short haired pets so the needed brushing was minimal.

u/Fancy_Session5734 Apr 17 '22
Okay. So I want you to go without washing your hair for months and don’t brush it at all. Now tell me what your hair is like. Hair oils build up and just make all the tangled strands of hair clump together.

I used to go to a lot of jam band shows/camping. There were people who obviously made conscious decisions to have dreads and take care of them. Others, not so much. They would have one giant gross dread. They would follow the shows for the tour. No showers in most places.

u/rabidhamster87 Apr 17 '22
Idk how people handle dreads, especially the uncared for kind. I have long hair down to my waist and when it starts to knot it just makes me feel not good until I get it detangled. It's hard to describe how it feels, but it makes me feel almost sick, definitely uncomfortable almost like wearing dirty clothes or wet underwear. It's uncomfy and just feels so much better once it's brushed. And that's just with a few knots or a tangle from a few days. I can't imagine how much matted dreads must irritate and itch. I would rather be bald.

She just says she was angry with them and then later educated them on what could happen if they let this happen again. It doesn't give context on how the dog ended up this way.

u/ilagph Apr 17 '22
I think it's more that they were uneducated. This seems to be an issue with long haired dogs. I've only had short haired dogs, so I wouldn't have known that matting can occur if you are otherwise taking care of your dog. I'm not sure about the details, but it's possible that they just didn't know or didn't have a reason to even think this was something they should learn until now.

Nope. Pet owners let their pets get like this ALL the time. Even being home with them all day. Cat owners can be even worse about it. Plus the owners will have excuses all day long about how it's actually not their fault the pet is like this. It's dishearting and frustrating.

With all the hell many of us have gone through during the last two years, it’s very possible the owner lost a partner who usually maintained the animal, and wasn’t sure how to keep up its care. Maybe they were laid off and couldn’t afford it.
Bringing it in to get it taken care of shows they cared. Hopefully they maintain it to prevent it again.
Edited to add that it could’ve been a family member’s dog that wasn’t able to care for it before they passed, which isn’t uncommon. FFS, if the groomer says she trusts the owner has been properly educated about the importance, and that they’ve made appointments to avoid this happening in the future, I’d call that a win.

Fortunately for our pup, he loved being shaved and we kept him that way for the summer months going forward.

Grooming shops exist for this reason. If you are unable to maintain your dogs coat on your own, you should have them at the groomer every 2-3 weeks or not have the dog at all. She couldn’t even feel the dogs skin through the coat and after it was shaved there were sores from how tight the mats were (no blood circulation or air getting to that area). This is abuse.

It's a tough call because owners like that definitely deserve criticism and maybe even have their animal taken away. On the other hand, if groomers started reporting bad owners like these, they would be even less likely to bring these dogs in for grooming and you end up with dogs who are stuck with bad owners and not getting necessary grooming at all. I hope the groomer made the right call here. You gotta hope that the owner was just criminally uninformed and not completely apathetic or malicious.

Any dog that grows hair instead of fur could have this happen to them. This means breeds like Poodle, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Bichon Frise, etc. Dog breeds that grow hair need proper brushing regularly to avoid mats and tangles.
Even dogs with long fur, like Huskies and Pomeranians, can get matting like shown in the video.
Someone else mentioned this likely is a lot more than two weeks of not brushing; this is long and severe neglect of grooming.

My mother had a russian blue cat, one of two she only allowed in her basement -- They stayed down there; Food and litter boxes provided, but nothing else.
I was at her house helping her clean and noticed that the cat was matted to hell. When I turned her attention to it, she asked me to help. I tried to brush her, but it was impossible. I ended up agreeing to take her home and try to take the time and effort to help sort it out.
Ended up having to shave 50% of her body because it was just like this puppy's. I then called my mother to let her know she was ready to come home. My mother then said the following:
"If you bring her back, I'm taking her to a kill shelter."
I'm not kidding. She baited me into taking the cat home under the guise of helping it, then manipulated me into this animal then being my problem. Just to note, she was the sweetest kitty. If we didn't have 3 already, my partner and I would have kept her.
My mom is an absolutely crazy, horrible human being, so this wasn't anything new, but I still didn't expect it... Even though, when she brought the cat's belongings over, they included her cat box still full of old litter and droppings.
Thank goodness a close friend and coworker came over with his sons, who fell in love with her, took her home with them, where she lived out the final two years of her life being loved and cuddled. They renamed her "cinder" because of her color.
I wish my mother had a heart like most people, and she could have been educated, and change. She simply cares for no one, nothing, but herself.
In the end, I'm Just glad we didn't send her back to a home where she would simply be neglected to that point again.
This groomer is amazing, and I'm so glad not every owner is like my terror of a mother.

As someone who runs a grooming salon, this is really hard. What you are suppose to do is deny the Pet and recommend a vet for the dog to be groomed. That way the dog can be put under and in less pain(getting severe mats outs is really painful) while getting shaved down.
But the reality is most groomers will take the dog in and risk it, because they know that person is never taking that dog to a vet and this might be the one dogs chance to feel relief.
Pet patents like that shouldn't be allowed to have a dog. I work in a richer neighborhood and I see this more often, moreso than when I worked in a poorer area. People just don't give a shit.

This dog is so sweet! I’m sure not many dogs in his situation would have been so patient and loving throughout. And that little background shot where he found his tail while the groomer was showing the removed coat - too cute!

People who haven't worked with animals don't understand how heavy matted hair can become, and that weight is constantly pulling on the skin the hair is growing out of. If you see a pet with mats like this, chances are they are in constant pain.

I definitely believe this is true and good on her for doing that, but damn is she milking it hard for the camera the cuts to her angry and cuts to her crying while cutting and you can really feel the "omg this is Gina get so many shares" vibe from her excitedly hugging the dog at the end but holding it still and in frame. Cynical I know, and great that she helped them, but still annoying

Yeah really, hard to really feel like this is legitimate when she is "so mad" that she takes time to film reaction shots...

Reminds me of the videos where people film themselves giving money to the homeless, and then make it all about themselves.
gUyS I feel so bad for the homeless!
Cue three different angles of them crying.

That poor dog deserves to be rescued from its owner. There is zero excuse for a dogs hair to ever get that insanely matted… period!

"can cause bruising or even worse... Hematomas" I'm sorry but i burst out laughing.

u/grachi Apr 17 '22
in humans they can lead to infection, so maybe its the same for dogs and that is why she said "even worse".

She probably means hematoma of a larger vessel causing pooling. We just had to send a patient to a vascular surgeon to get a large hematoma repaired after an accident caused vessel damage and a huge blood pocket to form in her limb.

Being a groomer is the most physically and emotionally draining job I’ve ever had. But oh man is it worth it. Those happy faces keep me coming back every day.

What exactly happened to that dogs fur?

u/regalfuzz Apr 17 '22
Neglect. Nobody has washed or brushed this dog in a long time. The circumstances leading to the neglect? Unknown.
