Im a retired groomer. I was clipping the nails on a very large, male 10 month old chow. Out of no where, he launched himself at me and caused lacerations on my arms. He jumped off the table and was hanging himself. It took 3 off us to get him off the table. He came after each of us. He knocked me down and broke 2 of my ribs. I was Taken by ambulance to the hospital. Never again!
My experienced groomer friend was helping me right before Christmas several years ago in the original Rover‘s building and we had a chow that was supposed to be groomed. He was so aggressive. We could barely even get a leash back on him to get him in a cage. When the owner got there, we had the owner come back and get him out of the cage because we were afraid he was going to bite us.
the bully breeds can turn immediately and for no reason. My brother years ago came upon a huge chow who had been attacked badly by a pack of dogs in the area. His eye was hanging out,... My brother took him to the vets patched him up and brought him to his house. Pooch they called him. When I would come to visit, love dogs, afraid of them, really afraid of Pooch, they would, thank goodness put him in the basement/garage for me to get into the house and visa versa. On one visit, as I am always up before anyone, Pooch was sitting on the deck all by himself. Huh, I went out and sat beside this boy MUCH BIGGER THAN ME. Our parents were visiting on that trip. When they got up looking for me and my brother sawing me sitting with Pooch he got our parents right away. But I could never do that again. It is so awful to get that it is so overwhelming.
@@RoversMakeoverOfficial this dog is Good. And her people have not taken care of her at all. I do understand finances can dive at any time. My 12lb bichon is so difficult, the groomers say no, I'm thinking they fib. I don't have a good set up for grooming though. but no she is just bad. and a clown.
They couldn't even properly care for this poor dog to the point that she's filthy, matted, and unspayed. Now, will they take care of their new baby any better?? I'm speechless...
They did have a child 2 weeks ago. Probably were too busy caring for this newborn. To be able to take care of the dog properly. Babies are alot of work. And it takes people to take care of them a long time. Yes theirs 2 people their. One works. One has to stay home for the baby. So don't judge just bc all this happend! Sometimes accidents happen this dog probably gets well taken care of. The owners were probably too busy to care for her fur properly. Plus. Their house is probably a mess or this newborn is just very fussy and can't be left unattended very often even when their asleep things can happen.
@VexaA541 this level of filth, matting, and her being intact didn't happen in the last 2 weeks, or the last 8 months of a pregnancy. This is long term animal abuse, plain and simple, from people who apparently preferred aesthetics over proper care.
@@VexaA541 2 weeks ago they had a baby. But this level of matting doesn't happen in two weeks? It's clearly been longer.having a baby is good excuse for them not to further do what they've been not doing anyways.
i have a male chow, i brush him everyday have done since the day i got him and he goes to groomers every month for a shampoo and trim, hes 4 years old now never had a problem with him, he lifts his paws for nail trim. its so sad when people dont put in the work these dogs need for grooming up keep. i think a lot of the problem with chows is there very much a 1 person dog, much like cats they have to come to you. great job as always Marybeth ty for the work you do
I'm in month 5 of owning my 3rd chow. 2, including this one, have been rescues. I have a very knowledgeable and experienced groomer who says to the dog "listen Mr, I am the queen and this is my castle. What I say is what goes here!" And they fall in line and do as she says. However, after a bad grooming experience at a major pet store chain, I only go to low stimulus environments where I can sit with the dog for the whole grooming session. I find this keeps my chow calm and relaxed and focused. I love my chowdren and treasure each day with them.
I agree on the fear of chows, but this sweet girl just looks so defeated, so sad. As someone mentioned, this is probably the most attention that she’s had in a long time. I normally don’t advocate for people reforming after a baby, but I think in this case, it would be best for this dog, to go to a home where someone will pay attention to her, to love her
Some breeds aren't meant for everybody. I just wish people would research the breed before getting a dog. The dogs and the owners would be much happier.
Absolutely! Our family has been wanting to get a dog for years. We can't agree on the breed. They want a Doberman, or German Shepard, or Husky. And I refuse. I keep telling them that those breeds are not good for our family. I love Dobermans, huskies are beautiful. But its not a good idea!
@@angelah.3402 Those 3 breeds are very active. I've had 5 German Shepherds over the years my kids were growing up. Now that I'm retired, I have a Rottweiler mix. She has much lower activity requirements and is sweet as can be.
I haven’t seen posts from you for a while. I watched for years and somehow lost you when I had to replace my tablet. I hope you and your daughter are doing well. Merry Christmas and a blessed new year to you both. You are the best groomer as far as I can see.
Poor baby , so neglected if they let her get like this before the baby was born what will she get to be like now they have the baby . She is so lovely as they should rehome her with someone who will love her and see to her needs
I have to agree that if you've got a dog with a high-maintenance coat like this and you've just had a baby & you KNOW you're not going to have time to brush her & take her to the groomer as much as she needs, a shavedown is the right choice. A year from now it'll all have grown back and her owners will be feeling much more on top of things than they are right now. If it doesn't grow back quite correctly, well. She's not a show dog anyway.
I know typically chows are supposed to be aggressive in the sense of territorial, and protective of their pack. But I've never had a bad experience with one, and I've never owned one but know a handful of people over the years that have had them. Owners have told me I'm for some reason I'm strangely an exception. My friend's grandma has a black show this size. A different family friend when younger had two light tan chows that were definitely bigger as a neighborhood few houses down too from my mom. I think they're extra sensitive to people's moods, don't know, especially if they aren't frequently taken in the public for socialization from puppy age on. And typically people are already wary of chows to begin with and they can sense it. This one is exceptionally calm and sweet. ❤
Chows are predominately 1 owner dogs. Fiercely loyal , to the point where many shelters consider them unadoptable and either won't take them in , or won't adopt them out if they do. They have a bad reputation for biting children specifically. They do require a mindful owner who puts in the training work , and extra care and time put into socializing them. For this dogs owner, a see a lot of comments saying they shouldn't have the dog. A new baby especially for first time parents will turn an entire household upside down. I imagine the person who is generally responsible for this dogs daily grooming , is the primary care giver to the new baby as well. When you consider how well behaved this girl was , it is a testimony to her having been cared for well. So Im withholding judgement , if she comes back at later date in a similar state , maybe then there should be more concerns over her general welfare.
Her last grooming was 8 months prior and she's clearly been ignored since then-- food and water alone aren't sufficient care for animals. Primary care for the new baby started 2 weeks ago-- where was the care for their dog for the past 7.5 months?
@@thatvalensteingirl Just because she hadn't been to a groomer in that amount of time does not mean the dog was neglected that same amount of time. You were not provided with enough information to make any of the conclusions you came to. The fact this dog is of this breed and was as trusting and gentle as she was , is far more evidence to her having been well socialized and cared for , then the matts she had being evidence to the contrary. Further more people who don't care for their animals well beings, don't reach out for help for them either. The internet is over saturated with people sitting at their desks drooling in the anticipation of finding someone to judge and be critical of.
If they can't take care of grooming a dog how on earth they gunna take care of a baby . Poor poor dog , needs rehoming to someone who will look after it properly
This Chow Chow is a sweetie! Too bad the owners don't give her the care she needs. If you don't like brushing dogs, don't get a Chow! I've only been around three Chows my entire life (66 yrs old), and they were wonderful dogs, all living in households with children. I think with Chow Chow's you really have to work at socializing them. Their natural behavior is to be solitary, antisocial, and a one person dog.
There just are no words😢. Poor girl suffering with her matted fur pulling her skin. Dogs truly are too good for some people. Thankfully there are Marybeths in the world❤
I had a mixed chow. She was a sweetheart. She liked being outside, so keeping her hair maintained and clean was hard. I would shave her myself because of the matted hair and foxtail stickers. She hated it, but she needed the help. She never bit anyone, she loved attention, and she helped with the sheep. RIP old girl. 😢
I had a chow, husky, shepherd mix when I was a teen. I bathed him once a week to get him used to baths. I brushed him twice daily. But he still didn't like my other siblings or anyone else to groom him. In the summer I worked on top of Pikes Peak and lived in the employee dorms there. So I only came home once a week. One day, I came down the mountain, and my dad said he surrendered my dog because my sister left the sliding glass door unlocked, and it had just a tiny crack. My sister had a friend over, and Apache got his nose into the crack , opened the door, and attacked the girl. It was the only option given to my dad, at least that's what he told me. One day, I had a great dog, and the next, I never got to say goodbye. It was the hardest thing I experienced and took over 30 years before I got another dog. Take care of your dogs.
I LOVE chow chows so much, so sad to see she has owners that don’t care enough to brush her coat and let her get to the condition. Chows can be such great dogs with the right people.
We have a Chow Chow and I cannot see her allowing this at all...lol You are so brave to do this... Our girl will not allow anyone to touch her unless she met you when she was a puppy...no joke. To us , her family, she is the biggest cuddle bunny in the world....loves hugs and kisses but she is fierce to anyone else. Love to all ♥♥♥
Everyone has a story. My story is after a couple of decades of chow ownership, I NEVER had one try to bite me or anything else aggressive. This little girl here has been so neglected! But she's being so good!
I had a few Chow Chows and breed them. I had no problems with them and the people that took the puppies had no problems. You have to be the pack leader and socialize them right away. One litter had all 5 colors so of course i kept the Blue. They need to be brushed every day. I would get a Walmart bag full of fur with each brushing.
Hi good to see your back or are these reruns I was an avid watcher of yours until you announced you were leaving UA-cam so you could rekindle the love you wanted to do in life as far as a pet grooming goes so have you come back and do we get the privilege of watching new ones you are inspirational and I learned a lot watching your videos
I've trained 4 Chose as Service Dogs for there owners and never had an issue with them. They were all very sweet dogs. 1 black, 2 ed, and 1 that was a light peachy cream color. Was very beautiful with his black tongue. His owner dressed him in tangerine Orange Gear to bring out the highlights in his coat. An man was he Fluffy!!!!!
I had a chose bow and she was a wonderful dog! She was very protective & would get angry if there was a threat. She listened to us and was very easy to train.
I only did one Chow in my grooming career he was a doll. But was warned in grooming school not to take them on as they don’t warn you if they are going to bite.
I really wish you would do my chow chow. Our groomer says she is the only good chow he grooms. It's all about how they are raised. She loves people and other dogs and absolutely loves children! She's great at the groomers. It's just like any dog. It's all about how you raise them and socialize socialize socialize!
@janesawyer3495 we have raised chows for 45 years. All of ours have been the same. It's just about starting at a young age. We have 4 different dog breeds in our house. The chow is by far the best one. Our 2 littler ones would bite before our chow would.
Hope this means your back. You have been missed. All the best in 2025, look forward to more videos. My dog relaxes listening to you while i brush him .
She was calm because she was getting all that Matt off of her and she gets a bath which she desperately needed and probably felt amazing to her❤❤❤❤ I’m sure she’s happy now. The Baby is 2weeks so why hasn’t she been groomed in 8 months? with a new baby in the house she’ll be matted again soon enough smh poor puppy 💕 she’s such a cutie 🥰
3:10 sometimes things build up and static electricity in houses make matting rates soooooo much worse. I bought humidifiers because my pets, cats and dogs got so staticky that it was endless mats every week
I my ex had a chow. He was really very sweet, but my ex was tough on him. We really didn’t maintenance him, he was great until we had our son. It turned out the chow had cancer. That poor baby. I hope they manage her better. It sad to see her coat being removed
Dont know if u will see this, but all props to you i dont blame u for not doing chows, my old boss had someone bring in a rescued chow who was filthy etc and gave him to me to groom, i got him on the table went to brush it, nearly took my hand off, boss said put a muzzle on and try, i tried to get a muzzle and all it did was lunge and snap at me no matter what i did, my boss came over annoyed like if u just do it this way u will be fine and she tried and it went for her and she wa slike hell no got it off table with its color and leash put in crate called owner said major aggressive take to vet and put under sedatation to groom i will not put myself or staff at risk.
I groomed my own Chow Chow. She loved it. But I'm positive that she never would have allowed anyone else to do it. Chow Chow's are normally a one person dog, just like Chihuahua's
I have a blue Chow and have had several previously. I'm so stuck to them as well as American Pit Bull, Shetland Sheep Dog, and Pomeranians. Can't help my love of these various breeds. I have always groomed my pets because I haven't had the money for professional grooming and my mom and vet told me stories of unacceptable treatment by local groomers. I know it's not everyone or every breed. When grooming students are told what breeds never took accept, that's really sad. Okay, back to what I was saying, I groom my Chow, and he's fabulous, except for scissor work. He has an absolute fear! I have no idea where this came from, but it makes grooming around his head and feet really difficult. Having said all that, my boy loves (!!!!) the bath and the towelling afterwards. He wiggles and wriggles. It's so much fun! Keeping the hair behind a Chow's ears from matting is only avoided by brushing every day. The condition of the Chow in this video makes me really angry and sad. The owners should be ashamed of themselves.
It's sad they didn't find you sooner before they had the baby. I understand your fear after being bit. I have a fear of unknown pit bull/ mastiff after one went after my chiweenie and knocked me down flat on my back. Ended up having to have my back fused. So now I head in another direction.
Poor dog, but so well-behaved. Didn’t see the completion but I know you always do an excellent job and what is best for the dog. Hope this helps the owners out too.
I worked for a veterinarian. One day a chow came in the clinic for treatment. He bit the doctor’s hand leaving a long gash across his palm. The doc sutured his hand shut himself! When one works with animals you learn what breeds are problematic and not to be trusted.
When I bought my last pug I had him flown in to Louisville airport when I got there the flight attente offered me a chow that had been flown in as well cuz the owner had not shown up to pick that baby up, I didn't take the chow I didn't want to go to jail but I could of had a free chow
People can have babies not take care of their dogs. Sure, a dog isn't a human but generally how people treat their pets is a good sign of how they'd treat their kids.
I’ve wanted to come to you forever but I only have chows lol.. they’ve been groomed their whole lives and are incredibly sweet and obedient (except my youngest, she’s just very lovey and hyper lol) do you not groom ALL chows strictly, even if they’re non aggressive?
I have chosen my whole life. My 1st one lived to be 21 and never met a stranger. My last one was my service animal until she passed at 13. It's all in how they're raised
Im a retired groomer. I was clipping the nails on a very large, male 10 month old chow. Out of no where, he launched himself at me and caused lacerations on my arms. He jumped off the table and was hanging himself. It took 3 off us to get him off the table. He came after each of us. He knocked me down and broke 2 of my ribs. I was Taken by ambulance to the hospital. Never again!

Very kind of you to do these grooms. I wish people took there dogs to the groomer more frequently.
I only did one Chow in my grooming career he was a doll. But was warned in grooming school not to take them on as they don’t warn you if they are going to bite.
Neather do rottweilers! They don't warn you they just bite.
I really wish you would do my chow chow. Our groomer says she is the only good chow he grooms. It's all about how they are raised. She loves people and other dogs and absolutely loves children! She's great at the groomers. It's just like any dog. It's all about how you raise them and socialize socialize socialize!
Training helps, but breed does matter.
@janesawyer3495 we have raised chows for 45 years. All of ours have been the same. It's just about starting at a young age. We have 4 different dog breeds in our house. The chow is by far the best one. Our 2 littler ones would bite before our chow would.
Glad to see you are back really missed hearing your voice and watching the videos.
she was a good girl for u!! I want to see her all done. hope theres a second video?
The owner came for pick up before I was finished with her so I didn’t have time to record the final clip.
Oh that's too bad.@RoversMakeoverOfficial
16 years...congratulations!!! 😊
She is such a sweetie.
That dogs grooming needs have been so badly neglected that I couldn’t even tell it was a Chow x x
Hope this means your back. You have been missed. All the best in 2025, look forward to more videos. My dog relaxes listening to you while i brush him .
She was calm because she was getting all that Matt off of her and she gets a bath which she desperately needed and probably felt amazing to her❤❤❤❤ I’m sure she’s happy now. The Baby is 2weeks so why hasn’t she been groomed in 8 months? with a new baby in the house she’ll be matted again soon enough smh poor puppy 💕 she’s such a cutie 🥰
Onde está a parte 2?
3:10 sometimes things build up and static electricity in houses make matting rates soooooo much worse. I bought humidifiers because my pets, cats and dogs got so staticky that it was endless mats every week
But I will say this dog seems very calm
Lovely dog, but what happened to the end of the groom? I was waiting to see her done.
Don't people brush their pets ...ever? This is serious neglect. Tell them the dog ran away.... she should not be returned to these people.
I my ex had a chow. He was really very sweet, but my ex was tough on him. We really didn’t maintenance him, he was great until we had our son. It turned out the chow had cancer. That poor baby. I hope they manage her better. It sad to see her coat being removed
I think she knew you were helping her.
Why hasn't the lady been "fixed?"
Exactly! Would reduce the chance of breast cancer .
Would it make a difference to start a chow as a puppy getting groomed?
Would that happen to be a Chow Chow mix ? and if so what is he/her mix with ?
Wait where do we go to see this one finished :0
She acts sedated to me. She is a beautiful dog and I'm sure she feels so much better.
She’s not.
Aww, I wanted to see her all done!
Poor baby, she must’ve been in so much pain with those matts 😢
Dont know if u will see this, but all props to you i dont blame u for not doing chows, my old boss had someone bring in a rescued chow who was filthy etc and gave him to me to groom, i got him on the table went to brush it, nearly took my hand off, boss said put a muzzle on and try, i tried to get a muzzle and all it did was lunge and snap at me no matter what i did, my boss came over annoyed like if u just do it this way u will be fine and she tried and it went for her and she wa slike hell no got it off table with its color and leash put in crate called owner said major aggressive take to vet and put under sedatation to groom i will not put myself or staff at risk.
She’s so sweet. Poor baby. It’s pitiful how they let her get like that. 😢
I groomed my own Chow Chow. She loved it. But I'm positive that she never would have allowed anyone else to do it. Chow Chow's are normally a one person dog, just like Chihuahua's
This poor dog is horribly neglected. The owners should be ashamed.
Aawwww you didnt show the end result, what a sweet doggie
I have a blue Chow and have had several previously. I'm so stuck to them as well as American Pit Bull, Shetland Sheep Dog, and Pomeranians. Can't help my love of these various breeds. I have always groomed my pets because I haven't had the money for professional grooming and my mom and vet told me stories of unacceptable treatment by local groomers. I know it's not everyone or every breed. When grooming students are told what breeds never took accept, that's really sad. Okay, back to what I was saying, I groom my Chow, and he's fabulous, except for scissor work. He has an absolute fear! I have no idea where this came from, but it makes grooming around his head and feet really difficult. Having said all that, my boy loves (!!!!) the bath and the towelling afterwards. He wiggles and wriggles. It's so much fun! Keeping the hair behind a Chow's ears from matting is only avoided by brushing every day. The condition of the Chow in this video makes me really angry and sad. The owners should be ashamed of themselves.
A friend of mine have a chow chow and she is not aggressive at all, but she is very stubborn. If she dont want to do something, it aint happening :P
It's sad they didn't find you sooner before they had the baby. I understand your fear after being bit. I have a fear of unknown pit bull/ mastiff after one went after my chiweenie and knocked me down flat on my back. Ended up having to have my back fused. So now I head in another direction.
Poor dog, but so well-behaved. Didn’t see the completion but I know you always do an excellent job and what is best for the dog. Hope this helps the owners out too.
2:40 they forgot about there first baby😒😕
I worked for a veterinarian. One day a chow came in the clinic for treatment. He bit the doctor’s hand leaving a long gash across his palm. The doc sutured his hand shut himself! When one works with animals you learn what breeds are problematic and not to be trusted.
My favorite and also the first dog breed I had experience with
When I bought my last pug I had him flown in to Louisville airport when I got there the flight attente offered me a chow that had been flown in as well cuz the owner had not shown up to pick that baby up, I didn't take the chow I didn't want to go to jail but I could of had a free chow
I have a chow chow & he’s always a good boy at the groomers. I think it depends on the dog
My childhood dog was a chow chow. They're not for the weak as far as training and socializing. We were lucky enough that she was good for the groomer.
What would be best is for that dog to be rehomed with someone who will put in the time to either take care of it
People can have babies not take care of their dogs. Sure, a dog isn't a human but generally how people treat their pets is a good sign of how they'd treat their kids.
I totally agree the bred is just one I would never want although they are beautiful dogs prey drive and aggression to high for me and I have a massive
I’ve wanted to come to you forever but I only have chows lol.. they’ve been groomed their whole lives and are incredibly sweet and obedient (except my youngest, she’s just very lovey and hyper lol) do you not groom ALL chows strictly, even if they’re non aggressive?
My chowchow has never shown any aggression in the 5yrs he’s been on this Earth…I’m quite surprised
Are you back to grooming? I thought you gave it up. Anyways, good to see you back!
Aww, I hope they don't get rid of this doggie because of the baby. TY for helping this chow, MB. I pray she behaves.
I hope they do!! She needs to be rehomed to a loving family that will take care of her better!
@@diane5593I agree. Her hygiene is severely neglected.
I got my chow when she was 8. I did my own grooming. She lived another 8 years. Makes me sad to see people let their chow get haggard like this
im so sad we didnt get to see the final groom after that whole video :(
Having a baby in no excuse to neglect your dog
I have chosen my whole life. My 1st one lived to be 21 and never met a stranger. My last one was my service animal until she passed at 13. It's all in how they're raised
Why don't they get reported! Are they going to send her back to be neglected and possibly bred again?! Poor baby girl. I would not give her back.
Yes, I stopped at the second growl with. Chow and considered myself
lucky
She's a sweet Chow ❤
