Original caption

He had been carrying this painful coat for so long💔🐶 This 12 13 year old dog was covered in severe mats that had become one solid layer around his neck, chest, ears and body. He was too aggressive to safely groom awake, so we had to take him to a veterinarian and have him carefully monitored under anesthesia. Then the shaving began. And piece by piece, that heavy coat started coming off. He wasn’t just losing hair… he was finally losing the weight and discomfort he had been carrying🥺 But the most emotional moment was still coming. Wait until you see what happened when he finally woke up❤️🇺🇸 #grooming #dogsoftiktok #satisfying #rescuedog #usa
