    I figured the reason you mention grooming for free was to remind us that we make it possible, not as some weird flex. Most groomers aren't able to give time to grooming shelter dogs, for instance. It's a great service, and hugely increases their chance of finding a loving home.
    You're always supportive of other groomers and remind people that most groomers can't take the time you do, because they don't have the luxury of grooming for free or of having an unshared space where the dogs /cats / pigs / etc aren't triggered by all the ruckus and other animals. What you do is a gift and a blessing, and I, for one, am glad to be able to participate in this project. Thank you

    My neighbour’s Great Pyrenees was what sold me on the breed. He was a massive teddy bear, loved absolutely everyone and everything, and when I babysat for them I had to leave the kids’ door open. Not just for the kids, but because the dog would get up every hour or so to make sure his kiddos were safe and comfortable. I was heartbroken when he passed, but his 13 years of life were filled with love and belly rubs

    Thank you for what you do. Long ago, I worked in a veterinary clinic. Many of the people who brought their companions in were elderly and just couldn't bath or groom because of physical limitations. And many were on fixed incomes in an area that boomed and became more and more expensive to live in. So many of these folks had lost their human partner, their children were busy with their own families, etc. The pets suffered. What you do is so needed, especially for these situations, so that elderly people, or disabled people, can keep their pets and avoid the loneliness that they might otherwise face. Bravo!!!

    I’m so sad to hear that some folks are giving you a bad time in the comments. I don’t have a dog, have never had a dog and likely will never have a dog because of how allergic I am. But I love watching you groom - the big fluffy ones, the little ones, the anxious ones, the good boys and girls. I love them all in their happy hoodies (or trying to get out of their happy hoodies), when the fur flies, when the huskies sing, when the paw-sensitive ones dance away, all of it. Sending you a big hug for all you do, well done! Peace from Ohio …

    Great Pyrenees are amazing dogs! A friend of mine had one (sadly the dog passed away at New Year's, she was 11-12 years old so very respectable age for such a large breed) and that dog was just the sweetest ❤ She'd lean against my legs or wheelchair wheel while she was getting petted, or just put her head on my lap to get more snuggles. Seeing my friend walk past on dog walks was like seeing him walk past with a polar bear because Great Pyrenees are indeed huge (and I'm 5'9" standing up so I'm a lot taller than Vanessa is)
    It's so sad no longer seeing my local polar bear walk past, but she lived a very long, very full and healthy life, and my friend took amazing care of her through all the years, and I've honestly never met a sweeter, more well behaved dog than Tosca! She loved everyone and everything, except for amstaff dogs or amstaff like dogs, and she wasn't a fan of warm weather (for obvious reasons) Seeing Tosca in the snow was always such a joy, she just loved snow and rain and windy weather that us humans generally don't like much 😅

      As an irresponsible pet owner I kept a pyre here in Texas. We had a significant freeze in which people died from the cold. I forced my dogs to come in at night so that no-one would report me to animal protection. They loved it and would have preferred sleeping outside in single digit temps. That storm was last time Daisy was able to take a longer walk as the weather soothed her arthritis.
      Never met a dog who loved hugs like Daisy did. Having her melt/collapse into my lap when I scratched her ears right was magical. Wish she hadn’t had dog aggression issues, but sometimes you have to accept the bad with the good.

Sure they can ask "Why do you do it for free?" but to throw any type of negativity into something someone does as a charitable act is plain wrong. I'm seeing more and more that youtubers are getting to a point where they think they have to explain their actions. And to all youtubers I say no, you owe no one any explanation.

    One of my dogs is a Spanish Waterdog from a shelter who needs to be groomed regularly. It‘s rather expensive and it‘s wonderful that you help people who can‘t afford it snd all the dogs from the shelter.
    The groomer I go to has her own horror stories of matted neglected dogs.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do for those dogs and cats. ❤

      Well said everyone, I agree. I think it’s wonderful Vanessa is willing and able to groom for free. I’m vision impaired and a guide dog handler, but sadly I don’t live in the US, I live in Australia, and as far as I know, there are no groomers here like Vanessa who would do grooming for free, which is a shame, as I’m an unemployed pensioner, so getting my dog groomed costs an arm and a leg for me, so if I lived in the US near Vanessa, I would have loved to take my dog to her to be groomed. I understand groomers have to charge for their service etc, but I’d really appreciate if there were groomers like Vanessa that would do grooming at no charge, but wishful thinking I guess, she is one of those rare breed of groomers lol. ❤️

    Have had Pyrrs for >25 years. The best LGDs & companions. Vanessa is a gift to dogs & folks watching & learning.
    I caution prospective owners: these dogs are NOT for everyone.
    ➡️ Must have: large well-fenced place (farm or ranch; stock & other animals for them to do their job & occupy their minds; Time: take 3 yrs to mature; Patience: don't expect agility, obedience classes, & they seem aloof but are very emotional. They suffer so in hot climates.
    And they can weigh 145 lbs. And DO need grooming.
    Thank you so much. Great dog, great job. 👍🏼

This “free” came only out of your very hard work, caring and commitment to reach a level to be able to offer your svcs. Unfortunately, there are ppl who envy other persons success. You should be proud, this all wasn’t handed to you. It was earned and the benefits are being paid forward to the animals and pet owners you serve. I’m old and have no filter. I don’t care what anyone has to say about what I just said to you hon. Keep doing your good work. Hopefully, those who envy or question will turn their thoughts inward as to how they can help their own pet communities.

If they don't see the point of something they just don't do it. I can hear them barking and howling right now. My guess is there are coyotes in the distance. They both need bathing but they will not come in the house and I have no way of bathing them outside. Once the stores stock kiddie pools I can pick one up and hopefully find a way of keeping them in it. I need a new kiddie pool anyway for my ducks and geese to bathe in.

Very smart, very zen, super tolerant with my 3 year old grandson, and the best guardians to my goats and chickens, and us. We've got bears & mountain lions here in the mountains, but they've never gotten on my property because of these two. We've got a neighbor about 1/4 mile away and she told me that Roger jumped our fence to chase a bear off her property. We also have a neighbor with 4 pit pulls that sometimes get out and run up and down the fence line. Roger has jumped the fence and herded them all back up to their property before. He's never hurt them, just took them all back home. We had to put up a cattle wire to keep him from getting out - its been the only thing that has worked. Love these dogs so much!

    I hope the owner was thrilled with how beautiful his girls looked. You did an amazing job with them and I am sure they feel better for it.🤗

    Such a sweet dog. It really is good of you to offer free grooming. There are a lot of wonderful dog parents who take great care of their furbabies but who are just not in a financial position to pay for this service. You're really helping them.
