Dog grooming story/rant time

ღ~ ☾їηηїε sαys ~ღ Let me start off by saying:
IF YOU HAVE A DOG WITH LONG FUR PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO BRUSH IT HOLY SHIT.
This stems from the dozens of matted dogs (and I am talking can't even move their freaking heads matted) that come into the shop and the people ask us to brush them out and keep the coat long and its like, your dog's mats are so thick and so many that we can't even pull them apart to see it's skin! Brushing it out would take hours let alone the poor dog would be in so much pain! They hardly have patience for brushing in the first place let alone HOURS of PAINFUL brushing! It just pisses me off so much. We shaved an english cocker spaniel today that has not been groomed or brushed in an entire year. The family moved away and rather than find a new groomer they waited a year until they got back. The mats in between his toes were rock solid and very painful for him and we managed to shave a kitchen garbage bag packed full worth of hair off the poor thing. It's despicable.
It only takes a few minutes and you can even get away with brushing them during your night time cuddle if they don't sit still/you have a busy schedule. Just think of the poor pups :(
