I still say a “hoodie” calendar for a fundraiser would be awesome! It’s the funniest look on every dog!! ❤️
Don’t forget to add a feline or two! Spicy Mayonnaise could be the cover.
I fully support both comments above, I would buy several just for the people in my office.
@@Wally943 or Kazoo! Who doesn't love a trash goblin?
Definitely would buy one.
Oh I’d absolutely buy one.
Happy little message
I just wanted to say that your channel inspired me to become a groomer and bather for cats and dogs. Watching your channel for so long gave me the confidence to reach out and apply. I got accepted and not only have I had the best teachers, made amazing friends, and met some lovely pets, I've also been able to take matted, reactive, and neglected dogs that my colleagues were a bit scared to take on. Now I've been offered to go to the academy for grooming and have it paid in full. If not for you, I would have never found this path that makes me so genuinely happy, and I'm actually getting to make a difference.
Thanks to you, I've found a career that has been so fulfilling and rewarding, and I'll never be more grateful. Your content has allowed me to find my purpose, and one day, I hope to meet you in person and thank you for all you done (for everyone that you've helped and the other strangers you've inspired)
Love this. Best of luck with your amazing career.
That is so awesome. Congratulations
Well done for finding your passion ❤
Wishing you all the very best!
❤ Congratulations 🎉
Prosper! ❤girlwithdogs
I love when dogs do the little lean in when youre scrubbing/scratching.. theyre like "ooooooooo that feels GOOD"
And the little paw taps- soo stinking cute lol
Mhm! Same for cats here too, if a cat likes chin rub/cheek/jaw rubs, they'll lean into your scratching. Sometimes, same goes for ears.
Poor Jersey! He must feel so relieved now that his yeasty skin has been soothed. I couldn't imagine my skin being so irritated all the time, it would be hell on earth!
And not being able to scratch 😭
Neglectful owners letting it get this bad, can’t even clean his ears properly
@@lilhonni Not true. You obviously didn't watch the video, Vanessa addressed that.
I once had hives for 6 months straight, so I can relate to how itchy his skin might be. And it did feel like hell on earth.
“Stop saying yeasty.”
-Bob
Not going to lie, I fully expected you to call him "a sassy little s#!t" for a split second 😅
Yeah
its what i heard too xD
That would have been so funny! 😂
It always amazes me how much nicer the dogs when you let them run in a sunny yard. For one thing, they cheer up considerably.
Seeing them charge around and sniff-investigate is fun. Some of them probably seeing 50% better than before, like the Shih tzu.🤣
@@davesmith5656you need to replace the last h with a t
Nature destresses everyone :)
@@ThaFuzzwood ---- In moderation. 😄
@ThaFuzzwood , unless you're being chased by a bear or a cougar. 😂
I have a friend who has several shihtzu doggos. She used to show them until they developed skin problems that ruined their coats. She immediately got them all sterilized because she wants to see the breed work its way back to a stable level of health and not be a part of spreading the problems. Thank you, as always, for commenting on unethical breeding practices causing harm to the entire population.
Dog breeding is run by literal psychopaths a lot of the time. One good breeder can't save a breed, there has to be laws and regulations criminalising the effed up shit dog people get up to. Like people breeding XL bully dogs, that are related to a literal child killing dog called kujo or something
Please thank her for me. One person can't do it all, but at the very least she has the dogs' well being in mind.
@@helmaschine1885get some help
@@helmaschine1885your comment is ignorant and uneducated 🤦🏼♀️
I lost my beloved 15 year old Shih Tzu over a year ago and although I loved her to bits she did have aggression issues so although I wanted her to have puppies I never let her. I didn’t want to risk her aggression being passed on.
I really appreciate how you speak to the pets you groom as persons rather than just dumb animals. That shows a wonderful amount of respect and affection.
Animals are smarter than most humans though
I think it's kinda cool how she differentiates dog personalities and moods, between breeds, yes, but also within a breed. I have to admit, the Huskies' arias are my favorites. It would be nice to put them together in a trio or quartet.
@@nobodyspecialfromkentucky speak for yourself sometimes
Yes I was thinking the same thing.
Ever seen her groom her own dogs?
His fed-up little whine at the end was so cute!
GURRRRRR* Yes fine you get to go outside!
We were the home for the end of life for an old man. He was 8 when we got him and we were told there wasn't long left for him with all his health issues. He was suffering from allergies that hadn't been treated either. Same constantly infected skin and ears. Turned out he was allergic to chicken. Removed that from his diet and he lived on for another 8 years with us crossing the rainbow bridge at the ripe old age of 16. Still miss that finicky old man. Loved hearing this old man's last minute complaints
I've been that "home for the end of life" for quite a few little dogs. It's amazing what a little extra can do. A 13 yr old cockapoo that lived to age 21, A "hospice" poodle that lived 1.5 more years, an obese bichon that became like a puppy after losing 8 lbs. It's sooooo worth it. ❤
@@michellewise613Yup! I got a 12 - 14 year old "dying from cancer" dog - it was just a lipoma and with love and care (and crapload of expense) he was with us ten more years and fostered elderly Labrador that was 18, with the worst joints the vet has seen that for two years was a joyous, active dog. Saying goodbye is difficult but knowing that their last years likely were their best is priceless. I wish there were a daycare "hospice" for pets in my area as I'd love to keep having oldies even when I'm busy with university but not being home for quite long just isn't right in such cases:(
The chicken allergy is becoming more common, it seems! Glad you discovered the cause.
@AthyDuGard Yes, sadly. And it's by design. Those who know, know. Those who don't know, need to start asking questions and digging to find the answers.
@@katie7748 Yup. I used to feed my small terriers chicken necks as per vet advice for 'teeth cleaning' back in the day. I ended up taking them off all processed food & their skin allergies cleared up. Arthritis improved. I now make my own food for my 17 yr old & she has a grain-free "biscuit" to clean her teeth.
Our shitsu had severe allergies also. We finally found that pure chicken, veggies (peas & carrots) and rice was the ticket after many years of him being miserable. We and the vet had been trying everything. Just having pure unadulterated food made all the difference. So thankfully his last 8 years were wonderful. Sadly we recently lost him at the age of 15. Our little senior had more years feeling feisty and good-he really was such a LOVEBUG!!
Imagine finally finding out you have celiac when you're 49 :( glad you found a diet that worked for your doggy so the next 56 years were pleasant
Congrats on being persistent about finding answers for your Little Angel. I believe such a non-kibble diet is the solution to many dogs' problems. My dogs are fed on homemade, human-grade, raw, fresh food. They thrive!
I think it would be great if you could make a quick CZcams video about the info you found out so that someone else may benefit , it’s awesome you were able to find a solution
The craziest thing is that chicken is a growing allergy issue in cats. I sometimes wonder if part of it isn’t what is fed the chickens
My dog have little patches thank God not this bad but I put a little coconut oil on them like pure coconut oil and it helped us in a little bit
I'll say it over and over, the love you show to the animals and owners alike is wonderful. The way you specifically note that the ear infections aren't a sign of neglect, just an issue a dog with certain health issues will have, that's the sort of thing I appreciate. You try to be accurate, and that is just good stuff. :)
Yes! My dog has so many ear problems, no matter what we do. She even develops hematomas sometimes, which are very painful for her and expensive for us
Poor drugged up pupper. He looks so much better and was generally a good dog, ❤❤❤
You can tell that bath was the most relief from itchy, yeasty skin he's had in a while. Poor doggie.
Oh, that leg shake when you scratched him. My heart broke, he's so itchy!
I love how you let the dogs run around in your backyard afterwards. After a bath and groom they just seem to prance around like, “I know I look good!” 😎
Thank you for clarifying that dogs that get numerous ear infections is indeed not owner neglect. My cockapoo is very prone to them due to her skin issues, and despite us taking her to the vet and always cleaning them out the infection can creep it's way back in. It isn't neglect despite people making it a stigma that ear infections are something only neglected dogs get
I said this in another reply but it feel important enough to repeat:
I tried everything (diet, medicated shampoos, etc) for my 8 year old Jack Russell and had to eventually get him the Cytopoint injection. Within 2 days he was like a puppy again. He stopped itching and chewing on his feet and he was able to sleep consistently (me and my wife too btw). It's not for every dog but worth talking to your vet about. I wish i had done it sooner.
Thank you for sharing - and please don't worry about repeating.
A video like this will attract people who have dogs with similar issues. If posting this info in different places in the comments gives those people a better chance of learning about something that can help them, and improve their dog's health (& their stress!), then it is definitely worth doing!
Someone's comment on a video like this one introduced me to a treatment I didn't know existed and helped me give my "hospice foster" a very happy final few months. Sharing info with like-minded dog lovers really can make all the difference - so thank you for being community-spirited and sharing from your experience 😎👍

Cytopoint was a LIFESAVER for my German shepherd! He was fine for about 6 years and then he became as my vet said “allergic to Virginia” so even with a fish diet and probiotics, just all the plants and pollen made him itch
Cytopoint was the ONLY thing that would work adequately for my dog as well. I was getting so frustrated and didn't want to pay for another round of apoquel that wouldn't work for him, and someone telling me about cytopoint was life changing for sure!
Cytopoint has been a lifesaver for my elderly mutt, it's makes a huge difference!
My Pom had this problem as well.
Went to grain free and all his hair grew back and no more itching.
It broke my heart to watch him scratch and whine 💔
“He is sedated…” Jersey- 👁👄👁
What a cute little gremlin. Adorable.
Owners: Our pup is temperamental (Trying to let the groomer know there could be behavioral issues like responsible pet owners do)
Vanessa: Pup has a skin condition and I bet that makes him uncomfortable!
I always love the way you identify the issue and patiently explain a situation that neither casts shame on the owners nor shade on previous groomers. It’s the gift of years of compassion and careful observation, as well as being well-informed on animal issues and how to tend them. Wish I had a pet and lived a good deal closer for the chance to meet you in person some day!
Most of the time when a dog has the problem, it's the food. Changing to different foods to see what triggers
it is usually what owners have to do. Poor guy. Good thing he came to you, he looks so much better.
With the happy hoodie on, he looked like Oscar the Grouch peeking out of it! And when you pulled it off, he was going towards it like, "Why are you taking that away?!"
He was such a good boi! See, I don't consider growling, especially when done towards someone the dog doesn't really know, to be "bad". It's communication, is all. He needed to be "heard" about he likes and dislikes - and with that yeast problem, who could blame him for his dislikes?
A little grumbling without any aggression, no problem!
Poor Jersey, such a sweet little pup. Hope the owners know what he's allergic to so they can avoid his having any contact with it.
Thank you so much for bringing attention to backyard breeders, and being vocal about the importance of ethical breeders ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aww❤ I had a Shih Tzu (not byb) who had skin issues too but totally resolved with avoiding the foods she was allergic to. No meds, was able to get off the Vanectyl P/prednisone, and she had a luscious long coat. If the owner is willing, they should definitely explore changing the food to find some relief for Jersey. He looks so similar to my pup this brought back memories. I have a video of mine getting a bath lol, she put on a concert to rival a husky.
Honestly I’m not surprised. I’m a human and I’m changing my diet up at the moment to combat lifelong eczema. Doggies are no different!
Same experience with both my cocker spaniels. I ended up having to cook the food at home with very limited and controlled ingredients. Found the canine dermatologist in my state and followed her advice.
@@irener.3849 that's amazing you had reached out to the derm resource. I feel like they aren't as accessible in my area of Canada and have heard other Americans reaching out to specialty vets in feline cases too. Great resource! We cooked our dogs food when we had a Lhasa Apso with even worse allergies than my Shih when I was a teen, then moved to hydrolyzed protein kibble from the vet for convenience. But luckily I was able to move my Shih from that to high end pet food with a novel protein once my Lhasa passed. It took a lot of trial and error and allergy tests were not as prevalent as they are now so total guess work. Paid off though and I hope other owners read this and find some confidence to try and better their pets skin conditions by taking it into their hands. Sometimes vet care can only treat the symptoms not cure, which is where owners educating themselves or finding other resources comes into play.
My mom has a Shih Tzu/Bicchon Frisse and he is allergic to chicken. Yes, cooked chicken. He seems to be doing a lot better in his current years now that she knows this and as she's a busy nurse, she has him groomed often.
I know people and dogs can develop allergies to anything. But I'm curious, what was your dog allergic to? 🙂
So cute!
He looks like a grumpy old man 😂
My Shih tzu had no problems until he turned 4. Then all of a sudden allergies started, his fur started ro thin, he was constantly biting his feet, always had an ear infection it was a nightmare year of constant vet visits. Found out it was a chicken and pollen allergy. Swiched his diet and shampoos and he has to be on steroids certain times of the year but he looks like a completely different dog now. All his fur has grown back thick and smooth except for a small bold patch his tail hides.
😂 I love the breed i think they make great pets and have big personalities but if they do develop allergies you're going to need a deep purse.
I found your channel over a year ago when I would get too nervous dropping off my old lady shih tzu at the groomers and you taught me how to groom her so she could never leave my side again. She lived through November of last year, looking dapper as ever so you can imagine how much I love your shih tzu grooming videos...dat face omg.
He's a very well-behaved little guy considering how uncomfortable he must be. You do such a fantastic job on these supposed "difficult" grooms. Well done!
EDIT: I get it. He was sedated, so he was calmer than normal.
He's sedated, that probably affects it.
At the start she said he is sedated.
It makes sense it would be too painful.
Seems like some dogs - and cats - with skin or ear problems, has to do with diet. Two neighbors switched diets for a cat and a dog. The cat’s years ear infections disappeared and the dog’s itchiness/yeast problems went away. Someone else I used to know who had a dog who always had sparse fur, almost bald, ran out of dog food one day, used another one and the fur grew back. Obviously this doesn’t apply to every dog or cat with skin issues but it also doesn’t seem that unusual.
White or whitish colored dogs for some reason have more skin problems.
If you say, 'switched', what does that mean? From what to what? Asking for a furry friend
@@TrulyMadlyShallowly they changed (aka switched) the brand they were using to another one. The one with the dog with almost no hair didn’t know it was a food related reaction or allergy. They’d given up trying to treat it since their dog was happy and not itchy. But suddenly she grew a full coat! So she clearly was reacting to something in the old food.
We’re consulting with a veterinary nutritionist for one of our cats, as a recommendation from his nephrologist. (Yes, Theo has a nephrologist - who has pretended to steal him sinc everyone loves Theo.) Theo vomits too often and while it may because of the medicine he’s on for life for a rare kidney issue, it may be food related, or even more likely, low level IBD. (Theo is happy, loves clicker training - and runs over and does tricks, unasked - so he can get treats - and doesn’t know he’s sick.)
@msem6438 Your 'friend' should try switching to a grain fee food and removing chicken from their pets' diet. These are the two most common food allergies in dogs and cats. Also, visit the Vet for an allergy test and medicated shampoo.
@@melissaharris3389the problems all resolved. No more changes are needed.
Grumpy resting face. Love it!
I really like how she is hands on with all her clients. It seems this makes the animals calmer. Plus she spends time with them before video. Very compassionate groomer.
His happy trot in the grass afterward is so cute. He was a good boy and I hope his people can figure out a root cause for his skin and ear issues.
If “entitled” had a walk, it’d be the Shih Tzu stride 😂 I absolutely love it! I mimic my pup all the time when he walks back up to the patio.
His little walk outside is so adorable. Lol
Aww, I feel sad that poor little guy doesn't get a treat because of allergies. As someone who had a lot of allergies as a kid, I feel his pain! Maybe next time the owners could send some approved treats along? Everyone deserves a treat every now and then.
It doesn’t sound the owners know what is causing the yeast issue. We had a dog with skin allergies; trial and error. ❤️ Jersey did well.
Not getting a treat is the least of the poor thing's issues.
Its a shame and as an owner with a dog that had bad allergies too, it can be hard to deny them the love and affection of a reward when you simply don't know which ones will make them suffer more :C Thankfully we figured it out for our puppo, but this little guy looks like he's still getting there, or is simply far more severely allergic than others.
Aww! Watching Jersey prancing tells you he's feeling better! NICE!😊
I had a girl with bad allergies. Ear infections are common, it’s just important to know your dog and watch for signs that they need more. She wasn’t fond of us cleaning her ears, but she was very tolerant and sweet. We always had a tube of her ear medicine on stand by incase it came back.
Poor little guy. I love how you are always sure to point out if there is an issue that it is not owner neglect because too many people on the internet are quick to jump to opinions. Your channels always give great info and entertainment too.
I don’t know how you got that impression. I’ve never heard her trying to defend owners, and good for her because some of her clients are a mess due to clear owner neglect. You think because they occasionally take their pet to a groomer they can’t be guilty of neglect? Think again. Some of her clients need a vet, not a free groom for social media attention.
@@katvtay she literally has a disclaimer in this video while talking about the dogs ear infections and the skin infection and I have seen it on other videos too. I am not saying it does not happen. Calm down 🙄
@@jaybug564Where is it? When it comes to animal neglect, no I won’t “calm down,” you utter juvenile. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I love how he was prancing in the yard. One - because he felt so good after his bath and haircut and two - because he was feeling handsome. Love your work.
its because his sedation wore off finally
Look at Jersey's little prance/trot! He must be feeling a million times better after having some yeast control. Growing up I had a cocker spaniel who had more allergies than you could shake a stick at and I just remember his ears and that smell yikes. Thank you for all that you do for these sweet little doggos!
Poor Jersey must be feeling a lot better after his bath fur being cut. I feel for him& his owners so much. Irritation there is nothing worse. I hope with the help of you & a good vet they can find the cause. Jersey you were such a brave, good boy. Your so lucky to have a wonderful kind caring groomer. Everyone have a lovely day & stay safe & happy. 🐾🐕💜
He looked so proud prancing out there in the yard
Oh my god! He is gorgeous. He looks just like my dog I rescued from the pound years ago. 🥰. He had skin infections, dry eye, ear infections, food allergies, everything! And he was the love of my life!
It's awesome to see the pet owner knows her pet and takes appropriate action to protect their dog and the groomer. Kudos to these😊. The dog looked great and probably felt some relief.
Many people have never heard of white dog syndrome. I wish I had been told about it when I had a rescued westie.
I miss my Westies so bad. Lazy Boy was 14 -1/2 and LuLa Belle was 17 when they both said goodbye. They were so wonderful and made us laugh all the time. ❤️ They were so good with my kids when they were little.
We had a westie/bichon mix and he had skin problems all his life :/ poor baby
I had a westie who also had awful skin issues in his later life. He also had cauliflower type ears. He was pulling his hair out so much on Christmas day that we saw a lump. He had to be PTS as it wasn't treatable 😢
Same here, my Westin mix was a skin nightmare living in the south.
I have a healthy jack Russell who just out of the blue developed yeasty ears. Repeated vet treatments & frequent cleanings & ear washes at home didn’t improve the situation. But like a miracle I saw somebody online talk about giving their dog sardines for the omegas. OMG. He’s been clear ever since. I started him on one sardine with his suppers & then backed down to a portion of sardine. And btw I have 2 JRTs so they get the same thing. If their poops are getting too soft, then I give a smaller portion.
Aww he looks like he feels a lot better! I love how considerate you are to their comfort, especially when they have underlying issues. Our cavapoo was “yeasty” in his ears and paws and we had him tested for allergies too. Knowing his triggers and changing his diet helped clear up the yeast significantly!! He gets fresh Ollie food (no kibble ever), and homemade doggie biscuits with no oats. The store bought cookies have ingredients that just fed the yeast to no end. We treat his ears with a rinse from the vet monthly, and with the diet changes, he’s cleared up!!
I’m sure you know but yeast is very very contagious. Poor guy. My border collie Bernese Mountain had horrible allergies. Pads, ears, eyes and coat. He was was on a very different and expensive diet and he was worth it! RIP Marx. I miss you so much! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
He looked very dapper at the end of his trim. Good job. Can't have been easy trying to keep the poor chap comfortable at the same time.
I miss my little guy so much!😓Prince was my best friend I saved him from a neglectful home he was also a shih tzu he was the best dog.😭
My Westie has similar skin issues and it was lovely to see you being so compassionate. Skin problems can be SO hard to treat (not to mention expensive)
What a patient little dude.
Vanessa, thank you once again for treating your Clients with love, respect, and care. You are kind and gentle to always protect their well being, dignity, and pride.
My Enki had hypotiroidism which also causes autoimmune stuff on the skin, he had to take baths twice a week so he didn't feel so uncomfortable, poor Jersey, hope he gets better
His 'pretty boy' prance around your yard at the end was awesome. He may not have enjoyed the process, but eh result was fantastic.
His little prance at the end! He’s so happy.
Reminds me of my last bichon, who had crazy bad allergies, chronic yeast and itchy skin, and almost constantly infected ears for so long. We finally found the right combo of (raw) food and medicated shampoo to give him some relief, but he never didn’t have some issues.
I’m thankful that you tactfully but truthfully acknowledge the unintentional suffering we cause to dogs that have been bred without regard for health-It’s an important message that can be hard to teach without causing people to feel defensive.
Aw I hope his skin n ears get better soon! Poor bubba
I agree that if a dog has allergies, try a *limited-ingredient diet* (LID), perhaps grain-free as well. Do it just in case some of the dog's allergies are due to the dog's current diet. (Though it sounds like perhaps shih tzus may simply have a genetic predisposition to allergy?)
There are many LIDs out there, each usually featuring a specific protein (salmon, rabbit, chicken, beef, etc.). A dog with food allergies can be allergic to some proteins but not others. In my spaniel's case, he had ongoing digestive problems and ear infections. After trial and error with a limited-ingredient diet, problems were resolved with the _third_ LID dog food I tried--salmon and sweet potato dog food! (Note: I tried LID chicken and LID beef dog foods first, and he did not show any improvement. It was the salmon/fish protein LID that ended up working for him.)
I also sometimes wonder if products in a dog's environment (like carpeting in the house, or the faux shearling dog bed, or the fabric on the sofa) can contribute to a dog's skin problems.
Fabric may not be a problem but products used on it could definitely contribute to allergies.
@@toneddef Good point!
Typically environmental allergies are the more common culprit. But food allergies are #2
@@khaitlinknoll8446 They say that there are two kinds of people who live in my (Midwestern) city: those who have allergies and those who are going to have allergies. :-) Makes sense that it would apply to our pets, too. (Darned ragweed, pollen, and other crap in the air!)
He was such a good boy. I had a shitzu and yes lots of skin allergies. I got her a allergy shot every 2-3 months, best thing I ever did. Hope Jersey gets to feeling better soon.
Vanessa does a great job as usual. Best wishes for Jersey’s owners to get his skin and ear issues resolved. 🐶
He just trots around the yard like he is so proud of his new 'do.🤩 And he should be… He looks great!
I appreciate that you make sure to remind us, that it’s not due to the owners not taking good care of him, but rather a reoccurring issue!
I love it when I see dogs react with the leg shaking.
Poor love was so itchy! I'd have been cranky too. Thanks for helping this sweet baby!
OMG he is the spitting image of my Shih Tzu. My life is complete from having own my lil fella.
The issues with this dog are the same ones I had with mine. He had two months of itching, compulsive licking, chewing and scratching. He developed numerous blocked sebaceous glands. One became horribly infected, and when it blew it coated his side, dried and became a 2" x 4" plate. The vet removed it. He was put on antifungal and antibiotics, pain meds and an anti-inflammatory. It took another course of antibiotic to clear up his skin.
He was just diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism, or Cushings disease. Eli has the skin infections, thinning hair and a pot belled appearance. All of these this dog has.
He's such a little sweetheart. Poor thing with the allergies. So cute.
This makes me so angry. I used to be an AKC registered breeder of purebred Shih Tzu’s & to see a VERY THIN single coated Shih Tzu that is definitely a “puppy mill” dog with such a miserable skin condition 😡 Grrrr. It’s not his fault, he was born into this. He’s a definite cutie pie. Poor little fella.
I don't know whether to blame the breeder or the buyer. I researched for 2 years on the breed I wanted 1 of those years was researching breeders. Review after review. I started with the AKC breeders and I found one that only breeds once or twice a year only IF she has enough deposits first. My spoo is exceptionally healthy and amazing.
Jersey and I are kindred spirits in a way because my eczema has been whooping my ass lately🥴🥴 SO ITCHY! The relief of a good scratch is like drugs I feel like I should have an RX for💀
he went from cute and cuddly to grumpy grampa and I love it!
Absolutely not meant to be ugly or mean!!!, but perhaps a good tip for all dog and/or cat owners if your animal is so allergic or has other things/issues and you take him/her to the groomer, PLEASE then at least let them know what kind of treats they are allowed, or leave something behind.
Good job Vanessa!!! ❤
What a lovely, sweet and adorable doggie. And how good behaved 🐾🍀🤍
I’m happy you had Rx shampoo on hand to bathe him. I have a shih tzu (The Boot 🥾) who I love dearly, 10 years old.
Watching him trot around at the end was really cute. He seemed much happier
He's cute with or without the hair. Its too bad he has yeast infections. I cleaned for a lady who's dog also had yeast infections. When ever I vacuumed I would put him on the sofa with his bed. He knew that he wasn't allowed on the sofa but it was ok when I put him on it. It got to the point that whenever he heard the vacuum, he would come running to be put on the sofa. He wasn't afraid of the vacuum, which was the reason I put him on the sofa. He was an old dog but he learned that when I ran the vacuum, he was going to get on the sofa. Old dogs can learn new tricks especially if they get something they want!
There is something about a pup after they are groomed, you can see them strut around, they know they are awesome! 😊
The crux of the problem is the thinking that everyone has the RIGHT to own a pet when it should be considered a PRIVILEGE. That would help stop the over abundance of animals. They deserve vet care, good food, great owners and a loving environment. If you don’t have time for them, can’t afford them, won’t take care of them then PLEASE buy the stuffed animal.☺️
Finding a comment with this sentiment shouldn’t have taken so long. This comments section should have at least half of the comments saying this. So many pet owners are total losers who deserve owning a pet rock, nothing more.
Poor baby. Imagine being brachycephalic and having yeast infections. :( Thank goodness Jersey's owners found you.
Poor fella. I hope he feels better soon.
That bounce in his step at the end is adorable!
Poor thing I was recently bug-bitten on my leg in three places and that itching drove me crazy until I got a hydrocortisone spray. I can't imagine itching all the time.
I am always concerned that a dog's "allergies" could be diet related. A human grade, raw, fresh food diet could be designed to avoid whatever a dog's irritants are. Many times the culprit is a carb-rich kibble. Such an approach could eliminate the causes of many dogs' "allergies". Worth a look for little Jersey IF his vet would cooperate! Woof! 🐶💓
He's really got the cutest little trot going once you let him outside! 😄
Poor boy. He did such a good job!!!
OMG what timing. We just returned from the vet with two itchy Shih Tzu. $1000. I’m not even joking. 🤯
What an expensive vet! I'm Lucy my vet is more reasonable. He often doesn't even charge for an office vet.
Oh, it gets way worse. A months wait for a basic office visit. Anything sooner, even WITH an appointment gets “emergency visit rates”. TWO, not one, rabies shots a year for first year. Established clients with all shots current, only, to obtain an appointment. No new patients taken. We are stuck, unfortunately. Five dogs, so we have to have a local vet. They’re great docs, but so greedy.
@@annhutcheson5770 so sorry to hear that. So glad you decided to adopt 5 dogs anyway
You are so understanding of your clients, and your empathy shows.
This jersey girl is in love with that Jersey boy! ❤❤❤
Beautiful 😍🥰💕 to see that grumpy little old doggy 🐕🐩 trotting around in your garden.
I just love how cute the dogs look while wearing the happy hoodie.
Thank you as an itchy person for lathering up so much with the oatmeal shampoo. It’s incredibly soothing!
Poor pup! I bet he feels so much better. Our golden was very stinky and yeasty so we took chicken based food out of his diet. He now has no problem on salmon and sweet potato. Sometimes it’s just a food allergy.
Poor baby! I hope he feels better soon.
Love hearing you talk to the dogs/animals. Your nails always look so nice.
10:49 My goodness those sores. That poor dog. So glad you were able to help him. Hopefully more breeders will work on breeding Shih Tzus with fewer allergy issues so that it becomes less of a breed standard.
His jaunty little trot around your backyard shows there are no hard feelings for sure❣️🇨🇦
I have a shih-tzu with skin allergies. The chronic ear infections and brown paws are very real.
We put her on a grain free diet and the allergies cleared up for the most part.
Omg he’s adorable! He makes me miss my shih tzu!
This is what we typically expect when we learn that the dog is sedated.
Poor pup. I hope he feels better.
She was great in Star Wars.
