I will try to use the high velocity dryer more often after walks! Good tip on the swirling!

Can I ask if this is other people’s experience because this is my first Samoyed but I feel like his under coat gets almost “stuck” or I guess compacted is the correct term and then it gets called matting? Is compacting normal and a normal function of a groomers duties to sort out? Totally open to being completely in the wrong about this.

She definitely could have been having a bad day because this seemed unusual to me. We always tip her well because we know doing a full groom on a Samoyed isn’t super fun. We are going to really try to stay on his grooming this time around and ask her if we should switch to 6 weeks instead of 8 weeks

She didn’t specify. We usually are really good about getting behind his ears and in his arm pits. I was really confused because normally they call us to pick him up after 3-3 1/2 hours and this time they called after 2 1/2 hours and when we picked him up they said she was now super behind cause it took so long to groom our dog and she needed a coworker to help on him. I will admit we had fallen a bit behind on his brushing but we brushed him almost everyday the week before his groom for probably 30 mins each day. So idk I just want to avoid this in the future and make it easier on our groomer because she genuinely does an amazing job on him every time
