The video is a grooming session for a severely matted dog by Marybeth, the owner of Rover's Makeover. The dog, which Marybeth describes as the most matted she has ever encountered, requires special care and protection due to its condition. Marybeth takes precautions by wearing gloves and a mask to protect herself from the dog's matted hair.
The grooming process is challenging due to the dog's severe matting. Marybeth uses a 10-blade clipper initially, but switches to a 30-blade for more difficult areas. She explains that the hair is so matted to the skin that her blade cannot get down to it, which is why she needs to use a 30-blade. The dog's skin is checked for any injuries during the process.
Marybeth also takes breaks to rest her back, which is causing her discomfort. She uses a Sav-Ur-Fur bathing system to clean the dog, which allows her to clean different areas of the dog simultaneously. The bathing system uses diluted shampoo, which is easier to apply to the dog and makes the bathing process more efficient.
After the bathing process, Marybeth uses a nail clipper to trim the dog's nails. She then shaves the dog down to its natural length, but the result may look choppy due to the dog's severe matting.
Marybeth emphasizes that the grooming process is painful for the dog, as the clipper pulls on the skin. She goes slow and does not force the blade to go through anything. If the blade doesn't go through, she backs off and tries again.
Throughout the process, Marybeth interacts with the dog, comforting it and reassuring it that she is helping. She also interacts with the dog's owners, who found the dog in its current condition. Marybeth encourages viewers to remember that the dog is in pain during the grooming process.
The video ends with the dog being dry and finished, looking much better than before the grooming session. Marybeth also discusses her pricing for grooming, which is all-inclusive and does not change depending on the dog's condition.
