When you have a lot of hair and a dog, that’s half poodle, it requires a lot of grooming maintenance. I have raised AKC champion standard poodles for over 12 years. This is my silver male, Frankie. Your groomer isn’t completely crazy. She’s trying to help you, also pros struggle to take care of a show coat. it’s not easy.  do you have questions, let me know

But how?
That cat is not matted
@@svideos5754 thank you for watching my channel and thank you for your grooming, expertise and comment.💚
So funny 🤣❤
Thank you for this. I started putting caps on my cat. This is the information I needed thank you for sharing.
How long did it take you to get so fast?
Is this cat sedated at all?
@@morganzipp1 no he’s not. Sedated pets are done at a veterinarian clinic where they can be monitored.
@@melissahall2530 What a good kitty! I have a Himalayan Persian I need to clear out his tummy area. He's a good boy and I have just purchased "quiet" trimmer and some kitty sedating treats. I hope I can get him to be still to get it done. He loves the brush but wont let me brush down there due to the matting. Thank you for your video!
I wish you were my neighbor. I can’t find a cat groomer where we live so I’m going to try itt myself after watching your video.i have a cat that just showed up one and never wanted to leave. Great job and video.
Amazing, lucky cat to have her clipping her so well
Do the knot hurt them
@@BradDoody-kn2hs yes it pulls at their skin and sometimes has bruising
I wanna do this to my cat
Why cut her hair
I would give u a negative 5 billion
@@Goatr7bbyeditz why????? I’m just doing my job. People pay me to do this. I didn’t do this on my own🫶and the pronoun is she
Bro
Considering getting one of the 5 in ones, I’ve never used one before. Could I still use my regular detachable blades on this one? I have #30 blades I usually use under my gaurd combs. I can still use those instead of the actual 5 in one blade it comes with, if I wanted to, correct?
I found you today and I appreciate you and all the information you provided in your video. I will try to remove the hair clumps on our cat; but ultimately I would like to take her to a groomer for a ''treat' , if the groomer I find is as good and gentle as you are- Thank you for caring and sharing . E.
Ur wired for that cat need their fur
Not really
@@melissahall2530yes they do I have a cat she took surgery so they opened her stomach but they had to cut her hair😭 now she gets cold and starts throwing up sometimes shacks when we carry her
How are you not putting the actual sound of the clipper on this video. No one wants to hear music. We all want to hear the actual sound of the clippers so we know if our cat will be able to handle it. Jesus Christ, this is like the 10th clipper video I watched that just plays music over the sound of the clipper. Not going to buy shit unless I hear it.
@@kynthos idc if you’re going to buy anything lol😂 I have plenty of videos that show clippers on my social media. This one is just a fun short. But when you talk to me like this, I don’t wanna help you. I don’t owe you anything I like to deal with kind people. 💯 have a great day. Thanks for the input.
@@melissahall2530 Sorry for getting so upset. I'm just at my wits end with my elderly cat who won't clean himself, won't let me brush him and has to get shaved at the vet. I thought I'd do some research to see if I could do it myself and really NEED to hear the clipper for myself. But no one, not just you, is putting up video's with the sound. It's the most important part and all I want to do is help my cat.
sure, when the cat youre drying doesnt care about the drier its not hard to look like you are smarter, but what are you actually doing differently?
@@misscutenar2333 it’s not freaking out and digging. How do you know the cat doesn’t care about the dryer? It’s the first time I’ve groomed it. Using an e collar helps block the wind noise and make it more comfortable. She also whips the dryer back-and-forth that is not recommended to antagonize animals. Dogs or cats. Professionals do not whip the dryer back-and-forth that is not what we do. Especially to felines who can die from stress
@@melissahall2530 i highly doubt the girl with the dogs is a professional groomer
I'm getting a Maine Coon Kitten in 2 weeks. I've only owned short haired cats, a Bengal and E. Mau. Is there a product that you prefer for Maine Coons? Is Dawn Dish Soap too harsh?
Wow, you're sooo good 👍
This cat clearly knows the assignment 😂 you my dear are wonderful at your job. I know it helps having a kitty so calm too!
If I were to go near my cat with trimmers 😮 she'd shred me up .
Amazing job..very professional groomer..loved it..
Why does he/she need them on the front paw claws? Genuinely asking please.
@@tinamariewebb4449 we are a cat hotel and this is one of the services we provide to our clients. The client before coming to us already had the cat wearing them for some time. When her old groomer quit after Covid, we took over. It’s better than declawing. Stops destructive scratching. Invented by a veterinarian and Humane. Helps keep cats in their homes. Here’s a great blog piece: nationalcatgroomers.com/nail-cap-myths/
@@melissahall2530 thank you for your reply I am not against them, absolutely better than taking claws away and I can see the sense in using them to stop allergy scratching. Again thank you for the info.
@@tinamariewebb4449 absolutely. I had a client use them temporarily while she was fixing an ear infection on her cat. 🩷
Interesting, I was taught to never trim a kitty in reverse at my school
@@heatherton1919 I learned at Vet tech school and The National Cat Groomers Institute. 👍
You are awesome ❤💛💚..Hello beautiful boy 💙
Thank you so much! I brush my 3 long hair cats every day. One has a ton of hair & is very prone to mats. I looked for how to shave off mats & your video came up. I am new at shaving & a bit fearful. She has a mat i have tried to cut off & had difficulty. You helped me so much! I set my shaver from 8 to 10 & i was able to shave it off just fine thank you so much for this video!
I’m gonna update this for you by the end of next week. It’s been three years but I feel an update is needed. Stay tuned and please hit subscribe.❤❤❤❤
I had my old kitty shaved yesterday - we are going to have to do it in two rounds because he had just had enough and the groomer had to get the legs still, but I can see today he feels so good. Definitely keeping up with his grooming so that he doesn't have to go through this again. It's tough being old when you're a kitty... I have to say, the shaving took an hour. I wish it had gone this quickly.
#10 blade or #15, please? Your clipping is soooo smooth! :) Backwards #10, perhaps?
It’s a 10
YOU ARE MY HERO! :)
Wow! You truly are amazing! What are some questions I can ask a groomer who I am hiring to groom my cat? My long haired cat has big mats on his belly that I have been scared to cut myself and I am really worried about hiring the wrong person to do it. I know it has to be done, but I want to make sure he is safe.
Is he neutered?
Yes. If you notice he has a community ear tip. He was a community cat outside of the restaurant. He is neutered. 👍
Thank you ! You make it look so easy
Sweet cat and professional groomer! Love the trusting look he gives you as you are bathing him! Does this clipper have a way of guarding against skin nicks? Could I use a beard groomer without a length guard and still safely shave my matted cat? If I have a guard on it I cannot seem to move through the mats. I would prefer to shave his matted areas myself because I KNOW he will not behave at a groomer and I do not want them to sedate him… Seeking guidance - have many cats and am experienced with cat behavior, but not grooming techniques! 😺Thanks!
@@dianaheaphy8294 use a clipper designed for pet clipping. 👍Wahl Animal USA has great clippers, and guard sets. People stuff cuts too close and you risk cutting cats delicate skin. Kitty skin is not attached to the muscle. So when it cuts it rips. Often needing staples not stitches. Get a clipper made for pet clipping if you choose to do it yourself. Having the right tools and equipment is essential. If a cat has knots and tangles it needs to be done with a number 10 blade no guard. There is no way to cut through matted hair. We have to cut underneath it. I hope that helps and good luck to you.💚🫶
What a GOOD CAT! What an EXCEPTIONAL GROOMER!!
wow.. so that's what you do for ping :) sooo smooth and soft, even weeks later after a groom. melissa is awesome!
@@marciaglass2846 Give him a kiss from me 🥰
Just… wow!!! Fantastic job and great tutorial!!! 💜👍😻 Wish you were in Oregon!
@@clancycreations 🫶thank you 🐈
I need to learn how to groom cats, I have seven barn cats that wander our Farm. We’ve had them since they were newborns. They are all now 11 years old. Three of them have long hair, different textured hair and the cost of the grooming has gotten so high that I can’t afford it., your video is very helpful. I do have a question, did you sedate him and was it with something natural?
@@madeleinemazie6645 no sedation. He’s sober kitty here💙. Confidence is key. Plus,know how to use the tool properly with practice 💯🫶☺️🐈
Very nice. He's a clean cut man now. Will his hair grown back. I have a long fur cat with those same problems but it's his fur that I love about him.
I did this lion cut in 2021. His hair did grow back and he passed away in 2023.🫶
@@melissahall2530 because of his haircut?
Can i use normal wahl trimmer for pets or need to get specific for animals ??
@@mamtagoyal2382 I do not recommend it. Those are for humans. Feline skin is very delicate. You could risk tearing their delicate skin.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank u so much 💓 ur very informative and in such a way that is pleasant and comforting 😊
Hi Melissa! This is an excellent video. My cat does not like being groomed. She bites and scratches. Any tips on how to find a good cat grommer? Where are you located?
I’m in Arizona, but if you go to the national Cat Groomer website, they have a Cat Groomer locator
Great video.
❤thank you
It looks declawed😢
She is 💯 NOT declawed If you’re watching the same video and you see me trim the nails, you’ll see actually the little pieces of the nails..That I’m trimming. Pet parent asks for nail trim and that cat will absolutely tear you up. it’s for my safety as well . It’s growling at me for the entire nail trim. Did you see me trimming the nails in the very beginning with the scissor nail trim that is not a declaw …. When I worked at the vet many years ago they did preform that procedure…because it’s falling out of fashion in the US they amputate with laser surgery veterinarian present, that’s not happening here 👍
lmao the last pic of the cat
I sent that to her owner and they loved it❤
You make it look so easy!
❤ thank you for watching my friend
Where you getting those from? My cat has lots of dander
Which ones? I typically buy from four different places. But I run two locations and have to buy a lot. Dander is different than dandruff. We can’t see dander but we can see dandruff. I do have recommendations for either or just let me know. 😊🐈 and I can point you in the right way.
Ok so why are you shaving him against the grain of the way his hair grows? I’ve never seen that, I’ve always been told to shave in the growth direction…?
It grows back better. It is safer.
