This Great Pyrenees Hadn't Been Groomed In 10 Years...Watch Her Life Changing Transformation

Good girl, good girl Okay This is Zoe and she's a 10 year old great Pyrenees. Oh, you are gonna lose so much hair She's never been groomed before she's 10. It's gonna be quite the blowout I'm bathing her today in Nasty Critter Deep Cleaning Shampoo, Fluff Off Deshedding Shampoo And my purple shampoo to help brighten up her white coat This is her first professional grooming in her entire life So she's about to lose a tremendous amount of hair and have a major transformation The great Pyrenees originated along the French and Spanish Pyrenees mountains where they were bred as livestock guardians Their job was to calmly watch over flocks, assess threats, and protect without unnecessary aggression They are loyal, gentle, intelligent, and extremely devoted to their families As adults, the great Pyrenees typically weighs between 80 and 120 pounds and their average life expectancy is around 10 to 12 years That's a growth. I didn't notice that before Let me try to keep your head in the shower Please They do best in homes that understand large breed management, have enough space for their size Smell the treat? And are prepared for regular coat maintenance Good girl Ow! After her bath, I towel dry her with both a standard towel and the absorber to remove as much excess water as possible before starting her blow-dry So much hair is gonna come out. Oh my god The chest is just one big ball of shedding fur. Because Zoe is a senior I'm placing her in a belly band to help keep her stable on the table I also want to minimize the amount of time she has to spend under the dryer So removing as much water as possible beforehand is very important She is losing an astonishing amount of hair with the dryer, and we're only just beginning Those are tree trunks. Before continuing with the remainder of her groom, I clip her nails They're extremely long and likely contributing to discomfort She's becoming tired So I'm allowing her to lie down for as much of the grooming process as possible Until it becomes necessary for her to stand. You know, the nails are thick if I need two hands to clip them Okay, I can brush these mats, but I'm gonna shave them because I think Well, this dog needs to go home. She's old. So just to make this a bit quicker Next I carefully clip out some of her matting Okay, leave-in conditioner for you While her tangles could technically be brushed out It would require significant time and for her age and mobility, the faster and more comfortable option is to clip them out Can you roll over? That would be very helpful if you rolled over right onto your side. It's okay They're very curled, but the quicks are really long I then trim her paw pads This part is a bit challenging because she is struggling to stay standing, but it's very important to complete Overgrown pad hair increases the risk of slipping on tile or hardwood flooring, which can lead to ligament injuries in senior dogs I'm trying to do this fast When she is finished, I spray her down with my cucumber cologne, which is my personal favorite and she gets a well-earned treat You wanna sit? You can sit Treat Good girl She doesn't have much energy left to show off her haircut But she looks beautiful and she's bright and white again.
