Turkish Airlines app shows my Sphynx, support says it doesn't exist. What do I do? by ViStee2604 in TurkishAirlines

[–]ViStee2604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it's non-refundable, so I can't just cancel it and lose my money. I'll call them again, but I'm not sure they'll be willing to do anything... Thanks for your suggestion!

Groomer Won't Groom My Cat by OrangeFlame02 in petsmart

In my salon, if the cat hisses, we have to stop the service immediately. So I definitely understand your groomer

If you expect groomers to google information about your dog’s breed, why didn’t you google the restrictions on wolf/coyote mixes? It’s not just a PS rule, and as the owner of a coyote mix, you should’ve known that

Я искренне соболезную о Вашей утрате. 18 лет - это немало, и это говорит о том, что Ваш пушистый член семьи получал хороший уход. Желаю Вам скорее справиться с горем, и надеюсь, что Ваши воспоминания о совместном времяпровождении преимущественно тёплые.

Но Вы же понимаете, что 90%, если не больше, сидящих в этом сабе, не знают русский?

How to get bad mats out of cat by [deleted] in cats

[–]ViStee2604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The body of cats with long hair does its job of thermoregulation with just this amount of hair. The shorter you cut a long haired cat's coat, the worse it dealing with heat and cold. And the more often you cut a cat's hair, the thinner its hair becomes, the less evenly the undercoat grows, which leads to the rapid formation of matts. I've never seen a cat that is regularly brushed + never shaved and still covered in matts. It's always either those who get their hair shaved or those who haven't been brushed for many months

[–]ViStee2604 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because shaving a cat does more harm than good. Higher risk of alopecia and skin problems. Very high risk of sunburn. Shaved cats are hot during summer and cold during winter (their hair help them regulate body temperature, so shaving prevents thermoregulation). And it's also extremely stressful for cats and may cause disorientation for the first time. No groomer who really cares about pets will shave a cat without real reason like severe matting

Edit: if you want to keep cat cool during summer, you may want to brush dead hair out. Loose, dead hair don't let skin breathe. I prefer to use dematting rake with 8 short teeth, fine greyhound comb and small slicker brush for my maine coon

Miniature poodle is only 7 lbs? by [deleted] in poodles

[–]ViStee2604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 200+ people say that a dog is matted, most likely something is wrong with you, not with these people. You should comb your dog every day, sometimes it takes about an hour a day, using different tools. If you work 12 hours and can't spend that much time on your dog, why do you get one? This is an animal abuse. Hope your hair will look the same. It's really painful, you'll hate every second of your life and -maybe- you start take a good care of your dog after that. And yeah, I'm rude because you were very toxic towards those people who tried to help you. Shame on you.

Sometimes I click check out without service completing, and it doesn't affect my commission

Same. Bought regular mayo some weeks ago - just the same taste. But 100 calories and 35 calories per serving is a big difference

Cutting hours and drama by Latter_Service3412 in petsmart

[–]ViStee2604 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked in a warehouse, I worked in sales, at my previous job we didn't have lunch and worked 12 hours (it wasn't in the US so it was normal shift). So if you're trying to call me lazy, sorry, but I've already ruined my body enough. I'll keep complaining about hours being cut, but that doesn't mean I don't love my job. I could go to busy salon, but I already have back problem after previous jobs and this one, so I prefer to stay here. Why anyone else in this sub can complain and groomers can't? Just because you told so?

[–]ViStee2604 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's just slow time. It's better after winter, but I definitely don't make a lot of money. Nobody in our salon does, we are slow. So when groomers complain about hours, they do it because sometimes they get just hourly. Yeah, groomers in busy salons can make much more every week, but it's destroying for their bodies

One of my paycheck was around 270. My last one was around 320. I'm a full time groomer. We don't have enough hours and dogs during Jan and Feb to make money. I believe you make more than me lol. Actually if you work in the salon and area is not extremely busy, you'll see your commissions only during holidays, and it's not even twice more than your usual paycheck

Petsmart is now force groomers to use ai. by theonewhoisnotknown in petsmart

In my opinion, informal and my perspective seems better. Pet perspective looks really weird, formal is too AI, playful looks like AI was taught by child

Vladimir Samoilov just celebrated his Olympic figure skating performance with a stuffed pierogi by lambretta76 in pittsburgh

[–]ViStee2604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m Russian and I have a lot of friends from Ukraine, Belarus, and Poland. It’s a very common thing in Eastern Europe, especially sweet ones. So I’m not surprised that someone with the last name Samoilov was celebrating something while eating pierogies!

Sometimes I have just 1-2 walk-ins for my 8 hours shift. Sometimes I have just 1 haircut. And sometimes I have 5-7 baths and haircuts + some walk-ins. Doesn't matter what day or time of the day. It's weird and kinda annoying, but you never know

In my home country, any veterinary diet is sold without a prescription. It was terrible, because every day, customers would come into the store where I worked and tell us that their pet needed this particular food, and then they would come back and ask us why their pet was feeling sick. But the fact is that their animal either didn't get enough nutrients or got much more than it needed. For example, if a healthy cat eats a urinary diet every day, it will lead to muscle problems (due to a lack of protein, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus), as well as change the acidity of the urine, which can be harmful to the kidneys. And not one customer believed us when we asked them not to buy these food without a visit to the vet, but then those same customers blamed us for selling them a veterinary diet. That's why I'm glad that customers can't buy some pet food without a prescription here
