Thats a wonderful thing to stay and do, it amazes me that people actually let dogs get like that, a few months ago my co worker and I groom 11 mini poodles that literally hadnt been groomed in 3 years the owner was not all there obviously and the dogs were well fed and "loved" but it was insane some of the younger dogs had never been groomed before I just dont understand what is wrong with people dont they know hat matting is painful and harmful to the dog?
