Dogsrawesome Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I started a new job on thursday and its a dog groomer/dog day care. I see so many awesome breeds like today i washed a chow chow, i thought it was so awesome and when i dried him i hugged him he is as cuddly as a teddy. I love my job :D sorry this is just a random thread but i wanted to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesP Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I clipped a Chow Chow! Now that was not fun. The dog was great, much sweeter then the majority of SWF. I really wished I had some horse clippers during that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wanted one, but OH is allergic to every dog that's not a poodle Maybe one day I'll get to hug one too That must suck but the toy poodles at my work are pretty adorable lol but not my type of breed You will have to hug a chow chow they are really cuddly I clipped a Chow Chow! Now that was not fun. The dog was great, much sweeter then the majority of SWF. I really wished I had some horse clippers during that job. The groomer at my work only did his bum and the bottoms of his paws. Brushed all of his coat and made him fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 yup I got some high end clippers when I had to do a Malamute that had stopped being clipped ... 2 years ago ... and surface brushed with a slicker on veterinary advice of course me and that poor dog together for over 6 hours.

Nekhbet Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 you can do what one woman did ... take sports tape and wrap the dogs muzzle then put a nylon muzzle on top. Poor thing the dog tried to eat her in the process, she was 7 months pregnant and it was her husbands dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 The Chows I used to do were beautiful, bloody big job though. In the end I had to knock them back it was too hard on my hands, stuffed me up for days afterwards. But they had lovely natures. Once they are fluffed up they are so cuddly. Well done and I hope you get lots of friendly doggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I have also done cats without sedation and a rabbit omg I had no idea you could get bunny coats and having a hairless dog I know a fair bit about animal clothing I really hate to generalize about a breed, but the only chows I have known were as a kid and they were bad tempered sods!

Nekhbet Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 it was a teeny tiny dog jumper I modified on the spot it had an M on it anyway and his name was Monty I rehomed him to an english lady who used to come visit him every day. I couldn't believe that rabbit sat there and didnt flinch once while I shaved that giant matt that was his coat off him. Not one nick or clipper burn either *SHIMMY* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andisa Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I used to put my bunnies in the hydrobath and clip around their bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
