What is the hardest part about grooming your own dogs at home? Let me know in the comments below! ➡️ Grooming Items: https://makermanifest.co/gonetothesnowdogs/grooming-your-dog-at-home 🐾Shop our Etsy: https://etsy.me/4u1qnr6 ❄ Novi Pet Expo Info: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Dc6PTrFA1/ Oh my goodness, the floofs are floofing right out of these dogs! We are preparing to finally go RV camping again, and one of the biggest things I need to tackle before we hit the road is blowing out the dogs' coats. They are shedding like crazy, and it is just coming out in giant white clouds. I thought it would be so much fun to show you guys a bit of our process, watch the fur fly, and share some of the tools we use to keep everyone looking beautiful and feeling good.
If you have been around for a while, you have probably seen my professional grade high velocity blower. It is an absolute lifesaver, and Jamie even put it on a cool little cart with wheels so I can move it around easily. We have got our Happy Hoodies out to help with the noise, ear protection for me, and a super safe body-blocking setup on the grooming table. Safety is always number one, so remember, never walk away from your dogs when they are on a table. Ever!
After the fur blizzard settles, we always make sure to let the girls decompress. But there is one crucial step we never skip before brushing them out, and that is washing their eyes! All that loose dander, dust, and fur gets everywhere, so using a pet-friendly eye wash is a total game changer to get that loose gunk out. Life is short, make memories with your dogs, even if it means drowning in a density of husky fur to get them ready for an epic camping adventure!

Guess what we're doing today!
Oh my goodness!
So, we are preparing to finally go camping again.
One of the things I need to do to prepare for this, is blow out the dogs coats.
Yes! Cause you're shedding like crazy!
Just coming out in the floofs!
The floofs are floofing out of you!
They're floofing right out of you!
So, I thought it would be fun to do a video we haven't done in a while of us blowing out the dog coats.
And showing you a little bit of what we use.
I will put some Amazon affiliate links down below for some of this stuff and some more budget friendly items.
Because if you guys don't know, I use a high velocity blower.
This is a professional grade blower.
This is what you would see in a grooming shop.
I invested in this multiple years ago.
Those of you that have been around for a while, you've probably seen it in many videos.
This thing is not cheap.
Jamie has made it so I can move it around on my own.
On this cool little cart with wheels, which is awesome.
I got my happy hoodie out here.
I now have this wrapped, so when this gets a little warm and my hands are touching it, it's not overheating my hands.
Thankfully, it's not hot when it hits the dogs.
So, that's a good thing.
My goodness! You girls are so floofy!
We need before's and after's for sure.
Yeah! I have a little cover on my table now.
But like I said, I'll put some of that stuff down below.
I got to go inside and grab a few of my brushes.
Those will be in the links down below as well.
But, I thought it would be fun to watch some fur fly.
And as a reminder...
Ear protection is great when you're using a high velocity blower.
It's also why we use the happy hoodie for the dogs.
Just to help a little bit with the noise.
I try to push this as far that way as I can.
So, that's not too loud for the dogs.
I try to go as fast as I can when we're doing this.
Are you ready to make the fur fly?
Who's first?
I guess we will find out.
But before we do that...
Here's a quick reminder!
October 9th, 10th and 11th.
We will be at the Novi Pet Expo!
Come see us!
Come check out our new 2027 calendars and coloring books.
And whatever else we end up bringing.
Also, I will launch those things on our Etsy shop when we get back from the show.
If you can't make it to the show, don't worry! You're not going to miss out.
I will launch them when we get back.
Who's first? Let's get a quick...
Before...
She's beautiful! We're going to make her beautiful-er.
Where are you at?
Before...
See if you guys can tell the difference after we blow out these coats.
I don't have Eleanor's hoodie on yet.
But before I start, I wanted to let you guys know...
I have this part here that kind of goes under their abdomen.
Then, it has a neck line as well.
I pushed this up against the wall.
Because that way, I basically body blocked the dogs standing here.
If you're going to use a table in all the set up, don't ever walk away from your dogs.
Never leave them unattended on a table.
Ever! Just a word of advice.
You always want to stay close to them.
The reason I do it like this, they can't turn around.
They can't fall off this side because I'm right here.
They can't fall off that side.
It makes me happy and makes them happy.
Let's blow out some coats!
Bloop bloop bloop!
They said it'll be fun
They said
But all the things
They don't say
From the fur in my car
To the fur in my bed
It's just a part
Of our
Here we go
Clouds of chaos
Furnado
That one's done!
Time for this one!
Apparently, the train is joining us as well.
What do you think Kira?
She's not happy about it.
Alright! I'll do it as fast as I can.
Brush brush brush brush
Never ends
The floofs are just our friends
Pluck one floof and then one more
Owning a Husky is a chore
Neighbors staring
Fur takes flight
Looks like it's snowing in July tonight
She stands proud like yes that's me
Meanwhile I'm drowning in fur density
Get a Husky
They said it'll be fun
They said
But all the things
They don't say
From the fur in my car
To the fur in my bed
It's just a part
Of our day
Blow that coat
Here we go
Clouds of chaos
Furnado
Well
Look at you!
You still needed more to go
But you were getting a little frustrated
And I didn't want to over do it
So we'll do a little bit today
We'll probably end up doing a little bit more tomorrow
And brushing but you can see
She still got the floofies
You also still have the floofies
And if you're wondering
This is the after floofies
There's floofies everywhere
Some of it blew away
Some of it blew all the way out there
But we're not done yet
We got one more thing
We got to do to both dogs
Which is really really important to do
After blowing out their coats
Right?
You want to go inside and do it?
Let's go
You're in the perfect spot to show
The most important part of the grooming
Which a lot of times I think I forget to show
But one of the most important parts
See how Kira is blinking her eyes
So if you couldn't tell in that slow motion footage
A lot of dust and dander
And of course fur gets blown up into the air
When we do this
So I started this a while back
Using eye wash
To wash their eyes afterwards
Make sure it's a pet friendly eye wash
And make sure it's just a simple eye wash
Or eye rinse
Just something simple
We're going to go ahead and put a couple drops in Kira's eye
And clean out the stuff in her eyes
And then we'll do Eleanor as well
I don't know if you can tell but I dripped it in her eye
So then I kind of like to close her eyes
Just a little bit
And kind of gently rub
And then anything that's in her eye
Will kind of start to drip out
You can kind of already see it starting to drip out
It's just going to get any of that loose gunk out of her eyes
Now time for yours
Alright I got Elle's done as well
You can kind of see it a little bit in that one
She's like I don't know how I feel about any of it
I didn't drip any on the floor
You didn't eat it
Weirdo
So a few people have suggested using goggles
And things like that on the dogs
I have done that
Sometimes I will start with their goggles on
But both of these dogs, Memphis used to do the same thing
They'll start to freak out in the middle of grooming
And try to get the goggles off
Kind of like they do with the Happy Hoodie
As you saw
They only put up with it for so long
So that's why I don't make them wear goggles while doing this
Next step is going to be
Slowly brushing them a little bit
Yeah we'll brush it some more
We brush the dogs almost daily
Just for a little bit at a time
And I like to do it again after I blow out their coats
They did not get a bath before I blew out their coats
They were completely dry when I did that
That is something else I want to let you guys know
And then for this
I'll spray a little bit of the
Ice Ice on them
Which again I'll put links for all that stuff down below
And then I will brush them a little bit
Which I'm not going to do right now
Because they both just had their coats blown out
So I'm going to let them decompress a little bit
Before I brush them
So if you guys have any questions
